IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
Three important items our club members need
to consider.
1. Are you qualified to play in the Club
Championship on October 10th
& 11th
?
2. Remember that next month is member-
ship renewal time.
3. And most important after 12-15 years
several of the Board members are
thinking of retiring. Please let one of us
know if you are willing to become a
Board member – will we will assist!
QUESTION OF THE MONTH
Having struck his tee shot in the direction of some trees bordering a water hazard, a competitor briefly searches for his ball in the hazard but does not find it. Without
knowledge or virtual certainty that his ball lies in the hazard, he drops a ball behind the hazard (about 55-yards forward of the teeing ground) according to the water hazard Rule and plays it. His original ball is then found inside the hazard within five minutes of beginning search. What is the ruling? A. There is no penalty; the original ball remains the ball in play
B. There is a penalty of one stroke according to the lost ball Rule and an additional penalty of two strokes for a breach of that Rule; the original ball is lost and the ball dropped under the water hazard Rule is in play
C. There is a penalty of one stroke according to the lost ball Rule and an additional penalty of two strokes for serious breach of that Rule; he must abandon both balls previously played, return to the teeing ground and put a ball in play
Answer is on the calendar page.
It’s Just Funny
Casual Air
"Casual air" Is wind of a volume or
velocity sufficient to cause (a) a pinch
of grass blades released at shoulder height to be blown a distance of at
least two club lengths in any
direction; or (b) the fabric bunting
attached to the flagstick on any green to be drawn taut, or to ruffle, flap, or
flutter, or the flagsticks themselves to
bend, sway, or wobble; or (c)
improperly affixed headgear to become airborne. Whenever casual air
is deemed to exist, players may
obtain relief as follows:
1. The ball may be teed up anywhere
within the closely mown area of the
teeing ground without regard to the
position of the tee markers.
2. Any ball hit out-of-bounds may be
retrieved and replayed from the
nearest playable lie within bounds,
without penalty of either stroke or
distance.
3. Any ball that flies unexpectedly far over a green, or falls conspicuously
short of it, may be replayed once
without assessing a stroke.
4. All third putts are conceded.
5. A range ball may be put into play
at any time at a player's discretion.
I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone's golf game: it's called an eraser.

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child.& Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.

It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place this world is when one is playing golf.

Butch Harmon Tips
This little shot drives amateurs
mad: 30 yards, over a bunker,
can’t be short, can’t be long.
Basically, you have to step up
and hit a good shot, or you’re
looking at a big number. Given
the memories of similar shots
you probably have rattling
around in your brain, it’s good to
have a plan. For starters, take
your most lofted wedge, play the ball about middle in your stance, and set a little more weight on
your front foot. Then make about a half backswing, letting your wrists hinge but keeping your
weight on that front foot. From there, hit down and through the ball, accelerating to the finish.
Remember, the big thing is to get over the bunker. Don’t baby it. If you pressed me for one key to
hitting this shot, I’d say, “Commit to the hit.” I see amateurs quitting at impact, afraid they’re going
to launch the ball over the green, so they dump it right in the sand. Try to create a smooth tempo
back and through, with a positive strike at impact.
BUTCH’S BASICS
The most common fault I see on wedge shots is swinging off the back foot, trying to help the ball up.
Here’s a cue to get your weight moving forward: As you start down, kick your back knee toward
the target. This will shift your weight left and get your body turning through. You’ll learn you can
hit down and still produce plenty of loft.
