On this spectacular morn, we had fifteen ladies who had nothing to brave except blue skies and gusty winds! The teams played best score on hole with handicap. Jeff also gave us our first "Rule of the Week", explaining the options on an unplayable lie:
According to the rules of golf, the ball can be deemed as unplayable anywhere on the golf cource except for inside a water hazard. the golf is the only person who can deem the ball as being in an unplayable lie.
After declaring an unplayable lie you have three options to where you can drop the ball and each option has a one stroke penalty.
Play the ball from where it was originally played.
Drop the ball, no closer to the hole, two club lengths from the ball is unplayable.
Keeping the point of the unplayable lie between you and the hole, you may go back as far as you want/need and drop the ball along that point.
Since you have three options choose the option that suits you best to avoid increasing your score any more.
These groups were winners today:
1st place: Linda Blair, Susan Kanouse, and me!
2nd place: Margaret Stroth, Heather Van Deren, and Joyce Neal.
(The obvious fact that on my handicapped scorecard I have more black dots than a Dalmatian facilitated my team's victory!) 😁
