“The Rules of Golf”

Loren Woodmansee

1. A player elects to take relief from an immovable obstruction in a bunker. (For CCGA members Sand does not count!) He lifts the ball to take relief without penalty under the first option of clause (ii) but realizes that where he will have to drop the ball will result in a very difficult shot. Can he now elect to proceed under the second option of clause (ii) incurring the penalty stroke and drop outside the bunker?

 
2. A player holes a short putt from a stance astride an extension of his line of putt behind the ball. The act was inadvertent or to avoid standing on another player's line of putt or prospective line of putt. Is the player subject to penalty under Rule 16-1e?

“Who “dis”?
Answer on last page

 

Laws of Golf
  September 2010.

   
By, Ron Hein

“The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to what it really should be”.

September Truism’s

 

Golf is a game where guts and blind devotion will always net you absolutely nothing but an ulcer.
And
The greatest liar in the world is the golfer who claims he plays the game for merely exercise.

Joke of the month

Kawasaki

A businessman traveled to Japan to meet and play golf with a few Japanese business associates. Having nothing to do the night before his game, he decided to solicit the services of a female companion..

Later, when they were in the throes of passion, she suddenly screamed out "Kawasaki!" Not knowing the translation, he figured it meant he was performing exceptionally well, and so he kept going.

Again she screamed, "Kawasaki! Kawasaki!" And again, he smiled proudly at this congratulation and continued.

Finally, she shrieked "KAWASAKI!" a third time, jumped out of bed and ran from the room. "Must have been too good for her!" he thought to himself, and went to sleep contented with himself.

The next day, while in the middle of his round of golf, one of his Japanese associates hit a perfect 6-iron off the tee right into the cup for a hole-in-one! Remembering his new word and wanting to impress his associates with his linguistic proficiency, the man yelled out Kawasaki!"

Perplexed, the Japanese golfer turned to him and asked, "What do you mean, wrong hole?

Meet “Lyle Miller”

I was born in Yakima, Washington on October 9, 1935.  Our family moved to Seattle and I lived there till I was about nineteen.  I left Seattle and lived in a small town in Missouri for about a year and then moved to another small town in Wisconsin to continue my education for the Catholic priesthood.  I lived in a Seminary in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin for the next six years and was finally ordained in 1961.  I moved back to California for about a year and then left for Thailand in August of 1963.

The next two years were spent learning how to speak read and write the Thai Language.  I was then sent to the Northeast of Thailand where everybody spoke Laotian.  I eventually learned to speak that language.  Never learned to read or write that language, though.

I was in Thailand for eleven years and spent most of the time there in villages close to or along the Mekong River.  It’s difficult to explain the people of Northeast Thailand.  They were hunter gatherers and part time farmers.  They lived a very simple life and most of their time was taken up with making a living.  While in Thailand I built (had built) a water storage system, an eight room school, a house for myself and another house for some teachers. The houses and school cost less than ten thousand dollars and were built by the villagers from scratch; logs to lumber to finished product. Their hunting was done with cross bows, muzzle loaders, and flintlocks, plowing with water buffaloes.

I decided to quit the priesthood and get married in 1974. It was a tough decision,   but no regrets.  I met my wife, Noi, for the first time the second day I was in Thailand.  She was about ten years old and was one of the children I used as teachers to help me learn the Thai language.  When they laughed at you for mangling their language they weren't making fun.  It was just funny.  She used to write me when I was up country and after several years I learned the language well enough to write back. First letter was on a postcard and about three lines long.  Long story short we married when she turned 21.  She was a Secretary for an American professor at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok at the time.

We have been married for 36 years; have two children, Eric and Tida and one Grandchild, Gabriella Wren Miller Templeton. (She insists on it.)  When I first returned from Thailand I lived in Sylmar California and worked for Sav-On Drug Stores.  Worked there for about three and a half years and then got a job with the Social Security Administration.  My first office with Social Security was in Riverside, California for about four years.  I was transferred to American Samoa in 1981 and from there to Guam in 1983.  We lived in Guam for about four years and then moved back to the States to live here in Redding.

My favorite memory was when Noi said 'yes'.   Claims to fame; absolutely none.  I like woodworking and have made a few nice things for the house.

I would like people to remember me for shooting my age.  Kind of sad isn't it.

One story I would like to end with.  When Noi and I were preparing to leave Thailand in 1974 we had, through a great deal of effort, obtained Noi's passport, our plane tickets we managed to obtain through gifts and loans about fifteen hundred dollars.   All of the, passports, tickets, and money I kept in a briefcase which I usually kept with me at all times.  One day, Noi and I were returning to our house and when we got out of the cab we discovered that I no longer had the briefcase and I couldn't remember where I had left it.  We retraced out steps and at a small restaurant where we had eaten lunch there was my black briefcase, almost invisible against the black leather of the booth we had been sitting in.  If anybody else had even seen it, it would have been gone.  Good omen, I thought.

Picture of the Month

“Otto Adsit” says; it don’t get any better than this at Fall River

The lighter side
“Did You Know”

In this segment we will attempt to teach our loyal readers the many definitions of golf terms, sayings, phrases, and or folklore.

Backswing - The part of the swing that takes place after the ball has been improperly addressed but before it has been sent to the wrong destination. See FOLLOW-THROUGH.

Follow-through - The part of the swing that takes place after the ball has been hit but before the club has been thrown. See SWING.

Swing - A full golf swing consists of the backswing that carries the club head up to the top swing point, the downswing that brings the club head to the point of impact, and the follow through. If the ball dribbles a few feet forward or hooks or slices violently into the woods or rough, the follow-through can be extended into the foresling-a graceful, lateral motion that sends the club spiraling into the underbrush (see Rick). Alternatively, the follow-through may be stopped and the club brought up sharply in a vertical arc until the club head is behind the back, pointing at the ground, and then swept smoothly up into the more classic topfling, which combines the power and accuracy necessary to send even the heaviest club into a distant water hazard. (See Carl) see Carl we haven’t forgotten you J

Answer to Woody’s Quiz

1. Yes. The player lifted the ball to take relief from the immovable obstruction and is entitled to proceed under either of the options under Rule 24-2b (ii), irrespective of the fact that his original intention was to proceed under the first option. However, the player would be precluded from using the second option under Rule 24-2b (ii) if he had put the ball into play under the first option -- see Decision 25-1b/

2. No. The purpose of Rule 16-1e is to prevent a "croquet" style of putting. In this case, the player did not use the stance for that purpose and the Exception to Rule 16-1e applies.
