Hi All Well lets get a bit of business out the way first, membership fees are due by FRIDAY. Please do your best to pay on time or contact me if you want to set up a payment plan. We had a welcome downpour yesterday evening and the dam has taken more water, so beware all slicers of the ball. This weekend we will be having Monthly Medal on Sunday morning (2nd February) so if you would like to play get your names down or SMS me and I will do it for you. On Sunday the 16th of February we will be having the Captains Trophy. This will be an Individual Medal Stableford competition, and it qualifies you for Champion of Champions. We are holding a Doubles Darts Tournament on Friday February 14th, as its Valentines Day we hope to see some husband and wife teams taking part.

Such veering right or left frequently results from friction between the face of the club and the cover of the ball, and the player should not be penalized for erratic behavior of the ball resulting from such uncontrollable mechanical phenomena. A ball hitting a tree shall be deemed not to have hit the tree. Hitting a tree is simply bad luck and has no place in the scientific game. The player should estimate the distance the ball would have traveled if it had not hit the tree and play the ball from there, preferably from a nice tuft of grass. There shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The missing ball is on or near the course somewhere and eventually will be found and pocketed by someone else. It thus becomes a stolen ball, and the player should not compound the felony by charging himself with a penalty stroke. If a putt passes over the hole without dropping, it is deemed to have dropped. The law of gravity holds that any object attempting to maintain a position in the atmosphere without something to support it must drop. The law of gravity supersedes the law of golf. Same thing for a ball that stops on the brink of the hole and hangs there defying gravity. You cannot defy the law. Same thing goes for a ball that rims the cup. A ball should not go sideways. This violates the law of physics. A putt that stops close enough to inspire such comments as You can blow it in may be blown in. This rule does not apply if the ball is more than three inches from the hole, because no one wants to make a travesty of the game. May the course be with you. Cheers Graham
