Rules Reminders

There are three important principles to remember when playing golf:

  1. Play the course as you find it,
  2. Play the ball as it lies (unless the committee has allowed ‘preferred lies’),
  3. And if you can’t do either, do what’s fair.

During the Championships some interesting rules situations arose which need some clarification.

  1. Ball unplayable under a tree. On the 10th hole balls often find their way into the large pine to the left of the fairway.

If this happens there are three options arising, costing 1 penalty stroke (see diagram).

1. The player may take stroke-and-distance relief by playing the original ball or another ball from a relief area based on where the previous stroke was made. 

2. The player may take back-on-the-line relief by dropping the original ball or another ball in a relief area based on a reference line going straight back from the hole through the spot of the original ball.

3. The player may take lateral relief from the original position of the ball. If the lateral relief leaves you still under the tree you must not just drop it out in the clear beyond the two-club length limit. Use either option 1 or 2. The two-club limit is worked out from the position of the ball and not the outer edge of the tree.

2. Relief from Abnormal Course Conditions (rule 16.1a)

This Rule covers free relief that is allowed from interference by animal holes, ground under repair, immovable obstructions, or temporary water. These are collectively called abnormal course conditions.

Interference exists when any one of these is true:

  • Your ball touches or is in or on an abnormal course condition,
  • An abnormal course condition physically interferes with your area of intended stance or area of intended swing, or
  • Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions)
  • Only when your ball is on the putting green, an abnormal course condition on or off the putting green intervenes on your line of play.
  • There is no free relief from an abnormal course condition when the abnormal course condition is out of bounds, or your ball is in a penalty area.

No relief is given when it is clearly unreasonable to play your ball if the abnormal course condition wasn’t there.

There is no relief:

  • When playing your ball as it lies it is clearly unreasonable because of something other than an abnormal course condition (such as, you are unable to make a stroke because of where your ball lies in a bush), or
  • When interference exists only because you choose a club, type of stance or swing or direction of play that is clearly unreasonable under the circumstances.

After the grand floods this year the sponsors signs on each hole appeared somewhat worse for wear.

Our sponsors matter to us and their support is most appreciated.

The greenstaff, under the leadership of Shaun Langlands and helped by our two apprentices, Keegan and Hamish, have undertaken the task of cleaning, repainting and generally bringing the signs back to pristine condition.

Here are some of the signs with the rest to follow shortly when available. Support your club sponsors.

Hole in one

2022 seems to be a popular year to score an ace apparently.

Today Chris Costello managed an ace on the third hole. Aware of the heavy conditions Chris cleverly used his driver to land the ball on the green and into the hole.

Well played Chris, you will receive 6 balls from the club in recognition of your wonderful feat, enrolment on the club Hole-in-one Honour Board, a bottle of wine and cap from GolfNSW and St Hallets and have the successful ball mounted on a permanent trophy.

Please click here for a full listing of hole-in-ones.

Well done Chris.
