Thanks to the match committee for running a fantastic event, everyone who assisted and Suzie Gattera, number one bar person for all her efforts.

Last week’s Quiz

During pennants, Darren’s ball is stuck in a bush. The bush itself is growing from an area of ground under repair but the ball is hanging outside the GUR.

Darren takes free relief using the spot directly under where the ball lies to measure the relief area. Darren drops the ball correctly and takes his next stroke.

What is the ruling?

A. Darren loses the hole, for playing the ball from the incorrect spot.

B. There is no penalty.
