RULES CORNER QUESTION Troy hits his ball in the ground under repair on hole 4. He is in the middle of the GUR. How does he determine where he gets relief?

Congratulations to Shane Jones and his guest Jacob Baker for winning the 2020 Men’s Member Guest. What a great event and a great finish right before the torrential downpour! There were a lot of tight battles within the flights and the flight winners went into a shootout. Mr. Baker hit to a tight pin on #9 to 4 feet and Mr. Jones sank the putt to give them the shootout win! We had perfect weather and a fantastic golf course to host the event. Cudos to Andy Robbins and his staff for such great conditions on the course.

Congratulations to all the winners!
