Rules  by  Nancy

Nancy Harris

         The  USGA  and  the  R&A  have  continually  worked  on  updating  and  improving  the  rules  of  golf.    Their  current  project  is  to  “modernize”  the  rules  of  golf  and  make  them  easier  to  understand.    It  has  been  a  long  process  but  by  this  coming  winter  or  spring  they  should  be  approved  and  will  go  into  effect  January  1,  2019.                The  USGA  says  that  golfers  are  enthusiastic  about  the  scope  and  direction  of  the  changes.    Proposed  changes  on  the  putting  green  are  popular,  including  leaving  the  flagstick  in  the  hole,  repairing  spike  marks  and  eliminating  the  penalty  for  accidentally  moving  the  ball.    Let’s  hope  they  truly  are  easier  to  understand.            In  the  meantime,  we  will  follow  the  current  34  rules  through  next  year.    Looking  forward  to  seeing  you  all!

Registration  closes  November  6th.

The  golf  courses  were  re-­‐rated  after  the  directory  was  published,  and  the  slope  rating  on  the  North  Course  has  changed.    Consequently,  the  Handicap  Conversion  Table  in  Appendix  C  of  the  Directory  (pages  60-­‐61)  is  now  out-­‐of-­‐date.    A  new  Handicap  Conversion  Table  for  the  Rojo  and  Combo  tees  is  available  in  the  ladies  locker  room.    Please  look  for  a  file  folder  on  the  desk  (across  from  the  bulletin  board)  labeled  “Handicap  Conversion  Table.”    Keep  this  conversion  table  in  your  golf  bag  so  you  can  always  have  the  correct  course  handicap  close  at  hand.      

When  entering  your  score  into  the  GHIN  system,  you  will  be  given  new  choices  for  which  tee  was  played,  including  “Rojo  Left”  and  “Rojo  Right.”    On  the  South  Course,  this  refers  to  the  flag  position  on  the  par-­‐3  Hole  #14  (left  green  or  right  green).    On  the  North  Course,  this  refers  to  the  flag  position  on  the  par-­‐3  Hole  #15  (left  green  or  right  green).    And  then,  you  can  say  something  like,  "Please  make  sure  to  select  the  correct  tee  location  when  entering  your  scores.  If  you  have  any  questions,  contact  a  member  of  the  Golf  Shop  staff  for  assistance.”
