Loose Golf Balls Around the Course
Lately I have been receiving complaints from members about other players unwittingly (I hope) picking up a ball or playing the wrong ball.
During competition play if you see a golf ball just lying there DON’T PICK IT UP.
AND always check that it is your ball before you hit it.
It may well be the ball of another player in the comp. Pick up that ball and the owner will suffer a stroke and distance penalty for a lost ball, wrecking their round.
As a general rule, in competitions, leave any loose ball where it is.
Some of our members can hit prodigious distances and hit balls to where you may not suspect them.
