Do You Know The Rules?
A quick reminder that major changes to the rules of golf come into effect on 1st January 2019 and hopefully the members who attended my evening last week are more prepared for the changes!!!
I would just say that if you play any form of competition golf whether it be on a Tuesday or Saturday in club competitions or represent the club for any of the various teams that we field you do need to study the changes carefully. Remember that the terminology for the course has changed as well as a number of rules!!
As a bit of fun over the coming weeks I will pose a rules question with the winner drawn from the correct entries receiving a sleeve of balls, so today’s question:
In match play, a player's ball lies in a penalty area and she takes a practice swing in the penalty area, grounding her club in the process. What is the ruling? A. There is no penalty. B. The player loses the hole. C. The player gets one penalty stroke.
Click here to answer the question.

We all want to enjoy playing golf, and a big part of this is lowering our handicap. Yes, there will be times when your game isn't up to scratch and you go up .1 a few times in a row, but there'll also be times when all of the puzzle pieces fit and your handicap tumbles. |
What does your graph look like? As the year comes to an end, it's important to take stock and examine where you can improve your game going into the new year. There might be several areas that you want/need to work on, or maybe just two or three finer details that will take your game to the next level. |
Whatever those areas are, we're here to help. We can identify the key reasons you're not shooting the scores you want, as well as devise a personalised winter coaching plan to help iron out those faults and get you paying your best golf. So, if you want to see your handicap tumble in 2019, come down to the shop for a chat - you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. |
