Watch your balls from
here on fellows—
I lost two balls on one
hole a couple of weeks
ago and the thieving
buggers are back again
Don’t turn your back on
the fairway as these
shifty little +*&#@
Will knock them off
Ruling—If you or anyone around, whether in
your group or not sees the theft and your marker agrees—you can drop in the vicinity without penalty
(Watch which tree they go to as some times the ball wont nest in the tree and drops
down)

RCGA Changes in Golf Rules in 2015 for Senior
Golfers Aged 60+
Rule 1.a.5 - A ball sliced or hooked into the Rough shall be lifted
and placed on the Fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried
or rolled into the Rough with no penalty. The senior player
should not be penalized for tall grass which ground keepers failed
to mow.
Rule 2.d.6 (B) - A ball hitting a tree shall be deemed NOT to have
hit the tree. This is simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game. The senior player must estimate the distance the ball
would have traveled if it had not hit the tree, and play the ball from
there.
Rule 3.B.3(G) - There shall be no such thing as a lost ball.
The missing ball is on or near the course and will eventually
be found and pocketed by someone else, thereby making it a
stolen ball. The senior player is not to compound the felony
by charging
himself with a penalty.
Rule 4.c.7(h) - If a putt passes over a hole without dropping,
it is deemed to have dropped. The Law of Gravity supersedes the Rules of Golf.
Rule 5. - Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they
could be blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to
balls more than three inches from the Hole. No one wants to
make a mockery of the game.
Rule 6.a.9(k) - There is no penalty for so-called "out of
bounds." If penny-pinching golf course owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur. The senior player deserves
an apology, not a penalty.
Rule 7.G.15(z) - There is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as golf balls should float. Senior players should not be
penalized for any shortcomings of the manufacturers.
Rule 8.k.9(S) - Advertisements claim that golf scores can be
improved by purchasing new golf equipment. Since this is financially impractical for many senior players, one-half
stroke per hole may be Subtracted for using old equipment.
Golf is a game of integrity.

swimming pool was still full...
SUNDAY BREAKFAST
Breakfast at the Golf Club
The Barton’s & Beards recently
had breakfast which is open
until 10am at the Barooga Golf
Club—Guilianna does a glorious
full on breakfast with all the cereals, toast, eggs, mushies and
more. Breakfast on Sundays is
NOT restricted to house guests—
So think about breakfast on a
Sunday at about 9.30 am, relax
and hit off afterwards
10/10 for Guilianna
