Results

The course was in good condition, but after the previous day’s storm the greens were a little slow. Only 3 Flights teed off on time in pleasant conditions.

The winner, for his second win, was Allan McNicoll with 99 for 39 points, beating the lowest gross of 83 by Ted Parslow, 37 points. Cut 4 and 1 respectively. Full results attached. 

The excellent wine prize as kindly donated by Erol was won by Ted Parslow with a total of 110 points. Stuart and Graham finished up with 102. Well done Ted and enjoy the wine. Interestingly, when hopefully we will have a similiar competition Allan with his good round today, finished in 4th place only 2 shots behind the runners up. Shows how placings can easily change.

Update on Hau Hin Tour – 26th to 29th September 2013

On By Stuart TaylorIn Black Mountain, Hau Hin, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose CannonsLeave a comment



Hua Hin Tour. 26th to 29th September. 12 Players now confirmed. Full up. We will be playing a 2 day competition for the monthly trophy, with the second round being played on the great Black Mountain course.

Great news we are full up. Edwin Raspe, a jovial Dutchman will be joining us (a regular Sunday WIGS player) to complete the party. Hans finally succumbed to the golf attractions of Hua Hin.!!

As a result we will now be having a 2 day combined stableford competition on the first 2 days, also for the September trophy, and the third day will be a 4 ball scramble.


Full details and prizes will follow nearer the time. 


Important point. For those who haven’t paid in full, THE BALANCE OF 1060 RM IS REQUIRED BY TUESDAY 10 TH SEPTEMBER.


Looking forwards to a successful and happy tour.

Report

Staffield was in excellent condition and the conditions very pleasant, for the trophy game. After 2 gentlemen having GPS trouble…!! we teed off a little late on the Northern and Southern 9’s.

The winner was Graham Cadman with 93 for 41 points, cut 5, with Barry Cousins second with 100 for 40 points. Cut 1. Graham’s win was in spite of a no score on his 18th hole, mumbling about h/cap protection for the tour…. Full scores attached.


Big day for Tony as it was his 300th game, for LCs. He took the trouble of checking out the restaurant in Mantin to discover it was closed. As a result we ate at the Peppers restaurant at the club and had a good value meal. Tony generously donated a ringgit for each of his games played.


The wine prize as offered by Erol will be decided next week as the last of the 4 games required will be played at Bukit Kemuning. Remember best (3 out of 4 ) combined stableford scores.

Report

After the heavy rain on Monday, the challenging course played very long, with no run on the fairways and slow, spongy greens . The scores reflected the conditions with only 4 players breaking the 100. After recently playing in Dubai, Jeff Pearce fitted us in to his busy  schedule, and won with an excellent 90 for 40 points. Cut 4. Ray Funnell was second with 99 for 38 points. Cut 1. Ted Parslow had the lowest gross of 84. Full results were:

Rules of Golf – Immovable Obstructions and Abnormal Ground Conditions

On By Stuart TaylorIn http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Loose Cannons, rulesLeave a comment

An immovable obstruction is an artificial object on the course that cannot be moved (e.g. a building) or cannot readily be moved (e.g. a firmly embedded direction post). Objects defining out of bounds are not treated as obstructions.
An abnormal ground condition is casual water, ground under repair or a hole, cast or runway made by a burrowing animal, a reptile or a bird.
Except when the ball is in a water hazard, relief without penalty is available from immovable obstructions and abnormal ground conditions when the condition physically interferes with the lie of the ball, your stance or your swing. You may lift the ball and drop it within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, but not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief (see diagram below). If the ball is on the putting green, it is placed at the nearest point of relief, which may be off the putting green.
There is no relief for intervention on your line of play unless both your ball and the condition are on the putting green.
As an additional option when the ball is in a bunker, you may take relief from the condition by dropping the ball outside and behind the bunker under penalty of one stroke.
The following diagram illustrates the term “nearest point of relief” in Rules 24-2 and 25-1 in the case of a right-handed player.

Report

And what a day….. Graham unfortunately managed to modify a lamp post and his new car, as he reversed after taking the wrong turn…. Rain all the way to the course, which thank goodness stopped around 0745  and we teed off at 0800 hrs.  Arriving at the course the temp gauge on the car was registering 20 degC …..2 tee boxes were used 1 and 3….. Just as we were about to tee off thick mist came in and we had to wait for a further 3-4 mins until it cleared.!! The conditions progressively improved and the sun came out for the second 9. Then … the wind starting blowing, quite strong. The course generally was in a good condition but the greens were poor, uneven pace and patchy, and allied to some very difficult pin positions contributed to only 4 players breaking the 100.

The winner was Jim Mah with a 95 for 34 points. Ted Parslow with the lowest gross of 88 came second. Jim cut 4, Ted cut 1.


13 players then adjourned to the 126 Restaurant down the hill and an excellent, superb value lunch was enjoyed by all.


The decision was taken to trial the flight randomiser after a majority vote starting next week.


Erol has kindly offered a prize of an excellent wine for the three best (out of 4 ) combined stableford scores, starting from today’s game.
