Holiday Tree Lighting & Cookie Swap Neighbors gathered together on the night of

December 3rd for Hampton Hall’s Inaugural Tree Lighting, and jumped into the holiday spirit with

traditional cider and creamy hot chocolate, a beautifully presented and equally delicious menu

from Chef John, and live music of the season from Jim Davidson. Sweet delights from

gourmet cookies to fudge were shared at the event, while several kids enjoyed Chef Joel’s

homemade sugar cookie-decorating station. The night was a wonderful start to a great holiday

season at Hampton Hall!

Principles Behind the Rules of Golf By DickTitus

This month we will begin to discuss the key parts of this definition and the key areas in the Rules which should be examined to understand what is permissible. You put your ball in play at the start of the hole. The golf rules supply guidance as to how you put the ball in play in Rule 11. The play of each hole begins from the teeing ground. Rule 11-1 and Rule 11-2 provide the Definition of "Tee" and of "Teeing Ground". The tee-markers that establish the front and sides of the teeing ground are deemed to be fixed before the player makes his first stroke with any ball played from the teeing ground. It also identifies the methods by which a player may tee the ball. Rule 11-3 provides that the player may re-tee a ball, which is not yet in play, without penalty when that ball falls off of the tee or is knocked off of the tee. A stroke which is played at a ball that is falling from the tee is counted, but the player incurs no penalty for playing the moving ball. For example, if the player has made a stroke at his ball, the ball is in play regardless of whether it was moved. If a ball in play is knocked off of the tee, the player incurs a one stroke penalty under Rule 18-2a - see Decision 11-3/1. When a ball is played from outside the teeing ground (including play from a wrong teeing ground) in match play, there is no penalty and the player's opponent may immediately require the player to cancel and replay his stroke from within the teeing ground (Rules 11-4a and 11-5) or in stroke play, the player incurs a two stroke penalty and must correct his error by playing a ball from within the teeing ground (Rules 11-4b and 11-5). A player who fails to correct this breach as specified by Rule 11-4b is disqualified. You play the course as you find it. If there is one principle more basic than any of the rest, it must be that you play the course as you find it. Few players would consider bringing a bulldozer to the course to remodel it to suit their own strengths. The concept of 'playing the course as you find it' applies on less absurd levels as well. For instance, a player who wishes to putt a ball from the fringe of the putting green is prohibited from pressing down a ball mark or other irregularity of surface on the fringe to improve his line of play (including spike marks). Rule 13-1 states the ball must be played as it lies, except as otherwise provided in the Rules. Rule 13-2 lists the 4 areas that may not be improved, the 4 types of actions that constitute an improvement that is not permissible, and the 4 applicable exceptions. These will be examined in more detail in future articles. Examples of actions that are a breach of Rule 13-2 are mopping up dew on one's line of putt, replacing a divot in its divot hole on the line of play or breaking off a limb that interferes with one's backswing prior to beginning one's backswing. Rule 13-2 also authorizes the player to ground his club lightly without pressing it on the ground (Exception: Rule 13-4). Examples of actions that are not a breach of Rule 13-2 are pressing down irregularities of surface on the teeing ground, repairing ballmarks (but not spike marks) on the putting green or breaking a branch interfering with the backswing when the branch is broken by the backswing of the actual stroke. ‘Playing the course as one finds it’ prohibits the player from building a stance (Rule 13-3). For example, standing on a mat or kneeling on a towel to play one’s stroke constitutes building a stance in breach of Rule 13-3 – see Decisions 13-3/1 and 13-3/2. When the player’s ball lies in a hazard or has been lifted from a hazard and may be dropped in that hazard, the player is further limited by Rule 13-4. The player must not test the condition of this hazard or a similar hazard, must not touch the ground in the hazard or water in a water hazard with their hand or club, and must not touch or move loose impediments lying in or touching the hazard. For example, if the player’s club brushes the sand during the backward movement of the club for a stroke at a ball lying in a bunker, the player is in breach of Rule 13-4 – see Decision 13-4/31. There are numerous decisions associated with this rule. After reading and digesting the subtleties of these decisions, you may just conclude that playing the course as you find it, even when the Rules permit you to do otherwise, is a much easier and safer "course" of action. We have only briefly touched on a few of the key rules which provide us guidance and options on teeing off and playing the course as you find it. The intent has not been to tell you everything about a rule, but rather to identify the key definitions and rulings regarding a rule so that you as a golfer can look it up to determine when and how it might be of a benefit. There is no substitute for having, reading, understanding and following the “Rules of Golf”. Hopefully this overview will encourage you to think about knowing the rules as a benefit to you.

Did you know? Every Tuesday, starting January 6th,

twenty or more golfers will get together for the Men’s Tuesday Blitz starting at 1:00 pm . This is a great chance to play with others that you may not see on the course and some of the Hampton Hall

Golf Staff. The format varies from week to week with team and individual games.

All golf levels and handicaps are welcome to play. Sign up today and continue to have fun on the course!

News from the Roots By Matt Sapochak

This year the overseeding of Rye grass on fairways and tees took longer to germinate and establish than normal due to cool, dry weather the first 3 weeks of November. Next came 2 weeks of unseasonable weather, which did not help the plant growth either, but the good news was that the temperatures in 60’s and 70’s at the end of the year produced good growing conditions for Rye grass. 2008 is the 5th year in a row that we have overseeded fairways here at Hampton Hall. Overseeding is attractive, but is very detrimental to Bermuda grass due to spring competition. April and May are the best growing conditions for overseeding, which is also the time that Bermuda grass comes out of dormancy. In the future we will consider taking a year off from overseeding, a common practice done every 3 to 5 years. This would allow us to clean up many winter weeds which are hard to control in Rye grass that have been increasing over the years. No decisions have been made as of yet to take this action. As you may have noticed, the course has been uncommonly wet this past November and December. The golf course saw 3 weeks of cool, dry weather when overseeding was applied. During this time, we applied water to fairways 3 times in each 24 hour period to promote seed germination. Seed is very uncooperative to germinate if it does not receive any natural rainfall, even if it does receive irrigation. Unfortunately, Mother Nature is to blame with extreme, varying weather conditions back to back that extended the normal germination time and left heavy soil due to the humid weather that has over saturated the course. This combination of weather events is why the golf course has stayed wetter than normal this year. You will see a few new projects taking place on the golf course in the next few months, other than daily maintenance, such as limbing of trees, installation of French drains in wet areas around the golf course and the raising of sprinkler heads. On behalf of the golf maintenance crew, we thank you for your patience as we work to improve our beautiful course and think happy thoughts for perfect weather!

The L inks ...Captain’s Corner By Brad Lightner, Men’s Golf Society Captain

Can you believe that 2008 is over? There were many surprises this year that were not anticipated, like a massive drop in the economy. Most, if not all, of our members have been impacted in some way by this situation. However, in spite of that downturn, we did see a 25% growth in the Hampton Hall Men’s Golf Society and we are very close to having 100 members. This points to the fantastic job from our membership committee, Bryan Rhame and his staff, and the excellent support we get from Kendahl Mills. The 2009 golfing calendar is completed and this year we are working closely with the Hampton Hall Ladies’ Golf Society to structure more mixed and open events. The first event of the year is our second annual Par 3 Tournament that is open to all Hampton Hall golfers on Saturday, January 10th. All eighteen holes will be set up as a par 3. There will be no hole longer than 200 yards, but there will be some “fun” holes set up to keep your interest and test your shot making skills. Most importantly, every hole-in-one will qualify and be paid by our “Hole-in-One Insurance”. I want to call to your attention the next event, which is the completion of our “Nine & Dine International Mixed Open” on Friday, January 16th. This event was previously postponed and the theme will remain the “British Open”. This is a social golf event that was well received last year, so please sign up early. Speaking of signing up, have you signed up for the Hole-in-One insurance yet? We are adding some exciting changes to the payout. Effective January 1, 2009, if you have signed up for the insurance, any hole-in-one on any day at Hampton Hall will reward that golfer with exciting recognition. First, they will receive a special plaque and bag tag from the Golf Shop. Their picture will be taken and displayed prominently in the golf clubhouse. They will get a credit to buy some liquid re-freshments for the players in their foursome. And finally, any week that a hole-in-one is recorded, there will be a party of recognition at the golf clubhouse with beer and wine in honor of the individual (s) getting a hole-in-one that week. In my opening sentence I drew attention to the economic climate we are in. However, in Hampton Hall fashion, you closed the year by opening your heart to participate in the Bluffton Self Help Toy Drive. We collected well over 100 toys that were distributed to Bluffton Self Help for children who would otherwise see no presents during the holiday season. Also, I am delighted to announce that Hampton Hall residents signed up to “adopt” over 20 children for Christmas in Bluffton. These families notified Bluffton Self Help that their families would not receive any presents from any other source unless adopted. Bluffton Self Help had over 200 children adopted by many organizations and communities in Bluffton. Thank you for making Hampton Hall one of the recognized and giving communities.

As promised in December, each month Dick Titus will write an article pertaining to the rules of golf. Dick is also currently working with Bryan Rhame to have a rules seminar and clinic January 28th conducted by South Carolina Golf Association. Each golfing member will be receiving a letter or email from Bob Doerr with important and helpful information on handicaps. Bob and Dick will be working together in educating the golfers since rules have a direct impact on handicap and our handicaps should reflect a good grounding in the rules of golf. Are you aware that every Tuesday and Thursday the men have a friendly game of pick up golf? The teaming is done randomly at the practice range and the game is usually points. This is also an opportunity to cash in on the Hole-in-One Insurance. If you are interested in participating, please give your name to the Golf Shop and let them know to sign you up for the Tuesday and/or Thursday game. The HHMGS will have a General Meeting in late January. The topic of this meeting will be the By-Laws. If you have any suggestions or positions to bring forth, please forward those to Secretary Doukas.

See you at the Club. Brad

By Chris Wiemels, Ladies’ Golf Society Captain

Hardly seems possible that we are ushering in another year already. There was so much going on in December, this month may be a welcome respite from deadlines. December saw our lady golfers playing at Oldfield Golf Club in an exchange outing…11 of our golfers participated, and a big thanks to Sandee Brooks for organizing that outing. Our new birdie trees are up in our ladies’ locker room…Terry Ramey did a fantastic job on them, now it is up to us, the lady golfers, to find spots on the trees for all our birdie shots…the bird house for holes ten, eleven and twelve looks a little lonely so far. The Bluffton Self Help campaign sure looked great in our Golf Shop and under the tree in the Grille Room. Thanks to all who participated this year…the need seems to increase each year, and I’m always proud of the response from Hampton Hall. We had our 2nd annual Holly Scramble on Tuesday, December 16th, with a terrific turnout of 33 golfers, and a total of 35 for lunch. The food served, as always, was very tasty and welcoming after a friendly round of golf. And friendly it was, as we got both 9 and 18 hole golfers together, something we will strive to do more of this next year. We gave our golfers a gift favor of a rules bagtag, and also handed out our calendar for the upcoming year. If you were unable to play with us, please contact Pam Hannock to get your calendar. All the important play dates are in the booklet, as well as a listing of members e-mail addresses and phone numbers. We have an opportunity to play with the HHMGS on January 10, 2009…be sure to sign up in the Golf Shop to make this a well-attended joint outing. Our upcoming events will include our Member/Member Tournament on February 28th…you will soon be informed of those plans as our committee will get together this month. Those ladies playing with the Lowcountry Team Play Assn. will hear from me early in the month, as we have to submit our roster for the 7 rounds of golf to be played in February. Should be a busy month. The format for these outings is 3-2 person teams from our Club, playing against one other club each time, no handicaps used, so all is very easy to score! We play at Callawassie, Shipyard, Wexford, Berkeley Hall, Hidden Cypress and Sea Pines. It is great fun, be sure to sign up if interested in the ladies’ locker room…I will submit all eligible names on the 14th of January. I want to thank Annette Hausman, Bonnie Faas, and Pam Hannock for all their work making our Holly Scramble the success it was, and welcome all our golfers to the beginning of what looks to be a very busy and healthy year..golf is exercise, isn’t it? See you on the fairways, Chris Wiemels
