Breakers Ladies Golf Club Wamberal

 Who knows when we can get back to playing, with all the recent rain and the continuing forecast of more, but when we do, these two rules will undoubtedly come into play. So here are a few reminders of what to do. TEMPORARY WATER  (formerly known as CASUAL WATER) Firstly, the definition is important and tells you a lot. Any temporary accumulation of water on the surface of the ground (such as puddles from rain or irrigation or an overflow from a body of water)  that is not in a penalty area , and can be seen before or after you take a stance (without pressing down excessively with your feet ). Rule 16   covers relief from Abnormal Course Conditions which includes Temporary Water, GUR and immovable obstructions.   Your reference point when dropping is the  nearest point  that gives you  full relief . You must drop within 1 club length of the reference point and the ball must remain in the relief area. TEMPORARY WATER ON THE GREEN Take free relief as shown in this diagram.  TEMPOR

 This event will be played on Saturday 26th March and is a 27 hole event. If you don't have a partner we can find one for you. The entry sheet is in the pro shop now.

Good morning ladies the match committee has CANCELLED the comp today! Course is extremely wet!

 The Stroke and Distance penalty basically means that you replay your last shot from the same place for a penalty of one, so it is another STROKE and you lose the DISTANCE you got, by having to go back to where you were. We MUST use this rule on two specific occasions, namely when your ball goes out of bounds and when you lose your ball in the general area. In both of these cases, you have no other option. You must replay your shot from the same place you hit the last one. There are times when you can choose to take a stroke and distance penalty. For example, if you hit into the creek off our 4th tee, one of your options is to replay your tee shot, using the stroke and distance penalty. Another time, as I mentioned last week,  if your ball was to hit the sand bucket on the 9th tee and go backwards into the water, then stroke and distance, by replaying your tee shot, is definitely the best way to go. HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THIS RULE (RULE 18.1) CAN BE USED AT ANY TIME   , mea

It wasn't a large field today with forecast hot weather, some ladies away on a golf trip and perhaps a few scared off by starting the season with Stroke. However, those who played had a lovely day and the scores were very good, with birdies and gobblers already being recorded for the continuous comp. Results were as follows. https://golf.micropower.com.au/breakerscc/competition/prizes?CompetitionId=238499

  Attention: There will be no sandwich orders tomorrow 17th Feb!

 Hi Ladies We are planning to highlight at least one golf rule each week , to ensure we are all on the same page and following the rules correctly.  In order to choose rules which are most appropriate to our course, I would appreciate you letting me know when something comes up that you would like us to clarify. No surprises to say that I am going to start with a reminder about what to do on our 4th hole if you hit into the penalty area off the tee.  To start with, please note that whenever your ball finishes in a penalty area , it is important to identify where it last crossed the edge of the penalty area. You then use that point of reference to drop within two club lengths, no nearer the hole for a one stroke penalty. Because of the way the creek is positioned on our 4th hole, we have a special local rule which allows you to hit from either side of the creek, in line with where your ball crossed into the penalty area, NOT WHERE IT FINISHED!! Very often on the 4th, if you hit straight

Division 1: 0-25   Division 2: 26-34  Division 3: 35-45 A reminder for Thursday our continuous comp starts so please count your putts for stroke events, write gobblers and Birdies on the ladies card who achieved it. This should be written  above her score stating which hole it was on.  See image below.
