Thursday Back 9
Eleven lovely ladies came to play the back 9 today.
Mark let us know that the fairway mower was broken so things weren't quite as he would like... and also that the rabbits were back to scraping the greens, especially the 13th!
His ongoing battle continues!
The weather was fine, quite still and overcast but it was dry!
As always several of us came in with the same scores!
In third place on countback with 13 points was Sue D.
In second place was Sue S also with 13, but we had a runaway winner!
Chris J had 17 points!
Well played Chris!
Saturday is a Medal/Satbleford, and then the following Saturday is Lady Captain's Day.
This will be an individual Stableford with a twist (you know me!)
Afterwards we are meeting at Sue D's for food, drink and prizes!
(If you need her address then just ask!)
A Rule enquiry.
We were talking this morning about a couple of things and I promised to look them up in the book...
The bridges over the orchard are an integral part of the course and should be treated as such.
If your ball ends up on the bridge you may play it without penalty.
If you cannot play it (or do not want to) you can declare it unplayable.
This gives you three options under penalty of one stroke.
1) Go back and play again from the spot the last stroke was played (stroke and distance)
2) Go back in line - drop a ball behind the point where the ball lay, keeping that point directly between the hole and you, with no limit to how far back you can go.
3) Drop the ball within two club lengths of where the ball lay, not nearer the hole.
The orchard on the 15th is out of bounds and if you see your ball go into it, then under penalty of one stroke, you have to go back to where you played that shot and play again (stroke and distance).
If however you ball goes into the front of the wall and stays there, and you find it...you can declare it unplayable and you have the three options mentioned above.
If you cannot find your ball in the ivy or grass...then you have to return to the place the original shot was played and play from there (stroke and distance), you cannot go back in line or take two club lengths.
Not sure if that is any help. I will have forgotten it myself by Saturday but hopefully we will remember between us!

Very helpful - thank you Ruth - all I have to do is remember!
