I see, thank you for clarifying. I've a habit of going OB on the second shot to our par 5 18th causing me to NR as I dont want to walk back 250 yards up a steep hill so to drop with a 2 shot penalty was at least going to stop my NR's. But if CONGU decide it cant be used in comps then it looks like I'll continue my pattern /yes I know I should play a provisional but the OB is just past some trees and sometimes it hits the trees then goes OB and I didnt know.

Colin L Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I think your nickname should be stubborngolfer rather than persevering golfer. You have the habit of going out of bounds at this place. When you do, you NR rather than walk back 250 yards (nice drive, by the way). You know you should play a provisional. You don't play a provisional because sometimes you are not out of bounds. You habitually find that you have gone out of bounds. You NR rather than walk back 250 yards .......... ..... and so the cycle goes on. There's a Scots word "thrawn". That means being perversely stubborn to the point of disadvantaging yourself rather than giving in. The cap fits, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will recommend to everyone that they learn to look up rules for themselves. The app for phones is really complete, and includes the "Interpretations".

Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Not as I read this, no. The explanation I found says 2 club lengths forward only: The interpretation of Rule 6.2, namely (6)/1, is coming to your rescue. It says “any time a player’s ball is inside the teeing area, the player may move the ball to another spot within the teeing area, and may play it from a tee without penalty”. So just pick it up, put it back on a tee, and hit the ball properly this time – remembering that it is your second shot. Or play it as it lies, the choice is yours. Just to be clear, the teeing area is classed as a “rectangle that is two club-lengths deep where the front edge is defined by the line between the forward-most points of two tee-markers set by the committee. The side edges are defined by the lines back from the outside points of the tee-markers”.

This makes me wonder if CONGU weren't consulted when the revisions to the rules were being discussed, or perhaps their input was ignored. In my personal opinion, I don't believe that use of this local rule will make a significant difference in the scores reported. As I understand it, there is some type of per-hole stroke limit in every existing handicap system. I think that when you're laying 3 after your drive, you're likely to run into the stroke limit in most cases.

fixyurdivot Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 We use the double par rule for our groups. No one maintains official handicaps anyway and it keeps clubs from being hurtled about or used as excavation tools, and course play/pace moving along.

PlaidJacket Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 New rule - dropping ball from knee height didn't work yesterday. Yesterday we tried a couple of the new rules. For me that was dropping from the knee. I just dropped from my knee straight down and it came to rest in an awkward depression. If I had stood straight and with an extended arm I could have landed in a much better spot. Question... Can you extend your arm laterally or behind but still at approximate knee height and make the drop? No closer to hole of course. All examples I've seen simply show a person dropping straight down next to their shoe without any lateral extension.
