NEW GOLF RULE

I


n January, the USGA and The R&A released the new Rules of Golf for 2012-2015 following an exhaustive, four-year review of golf’s 34 playing Rules in which nine principal Rules were amended to improve clarity and ensure penalties are proportionate to rules breaches. One significant change was made to Ball Moving After Address (Rule 18-2b). The addition of a new exception exonerates a player from penalty if his or her ball moves after it has been addressed when it is known or virtually certain that the player did not cause the ball to move. For example, if a gust of wind moves the ball after it has been addressed, there is no penalty and the ball is played from its new position.

Congratulations to John and Ian.

FINAL PHOTOS FROM LADYBANK

Below is a selection of some photos I have from Ladybank. It's hard to imagine that just 8 days later we would be getting snow and the temperature was just above freezing.

The golf season has now started and I hope you all have a good one.

Details of first summer round will appear soon.

DRESSED TO WIN THE SPOON ??

Murray was certainly dressed for the summer conditions on Sunday. He was the clear winner in the best dressed category.

For those who don't know Murray he is a Hackers record holder. Murray and Michael Kennaway hold the record for the biggest humping. They were rogered 9-8 by Peter Ritchie and Scott Kennedy at Leven in 2010. 

Murray is also a Spoon winner a few years back and here he was all dressed for the occasion but as he walked down the first the thought suddenly hit him.

If I play like a tit and get this Spoon I will get absolute dog's abuse due to my attire. 

He was also out in a 4 ball that contained double Spoon winners Geraldo and Mr Dickie so between them they had 5 Spoons.

This played through his mind and with a few holes to go he knew that he was borderline and he admitted later he was even willing his partner to miss putts and duff shots so he could stay ahead of someone in his 4 ball. 

In the end the Chef was fine and he stayed out of danger and a whole lot of abuse.

Best dressed for the season - no contest.

HACKERS WINTER 

CHAMPION 

2012

PAUL "VERA" JAMES

Mr Happy collecting his trophy from last years winner Neil Keir

What can I say !

In second place Gordon Sinclair

In third place Brian Murphy

On Sunday none of the top 4 ball improved their best 5th score and Paul managed to hang to the overall  lead by just 1 point.

It had been a tight game all the way round between Paul and Gordon and with just 3 holes to go Gordon was 3 points ahead of Paul overall but a blob on the 16th dropped him behind again.

It was a great finish to the season and show's that the format is a good one when after 6 months golf and 198 holes of golf that it all comes down to the last hole.

Congratulations to Paul on winning the Tour for the second time.

LENZIE COURSE 28TH OF MARCH

LENZIE GOLF CLUB REPAIRS

I took a walk over the course tonight and you can see from the photos below things are progressing along. 

The new green has just been cut and the new 5th tee is also laid now. The 18th fairway has been laid up just short of the bunkers at the green. There is just some bits to finish at the start of the 4th and the 18th.

The practice area on the other side of the ditch is mainly reinstated and awaiting turf. Then there is the reinstatement of the practice green area after that.
