Monthly News and Highlights
President's and Tournament Chair Collaboration Report…January 2012
Happy New Year: Well another year has begun with what so far
has been spring like weather. Don’t know how many of you have played the course lately but it is in
probably its best shape for this time of the year. The greens have made a great comeback. There are still
some problem areas on some of the green but overall they are looking pretty good. We know the rains will
come; hopefully they won’t be a monsoon flooding the course.
Membership Update: As of right now we are starting the year with a membership of 113. This
is a little lower that last years starting point. We are hoping to get 125-130 so we have a ways to go.
Speaking of memberships, as you know the NCGA increases the fees by $10 as of January 1. That means that
renewals (members in 2011) will now be $109 and new members (not members in 2011) will be $115.
Club Shirt deadline approaching. As you know the club agreed to be the contact for orders of club Logo
Shirts and Hats for a short period of time. We submitted the second of three orders this week. The club is willing to
put in one last order which will be done at the end of January. Order Forms will continue to be made available on our
web site until January 15. We will accept mail in orders
no later than January 19. We will also accept orders at the January 22 tournament. The logos will still be available
and can be placed on any shirt, hat, jacket, etc that you bring into the store. You are not obligated to buy the shirt,
hat, etc from the store itself. The Location of the store will be provided in the next newsletter.
2012 Rule Changes:
There are some rules that have been changed starting January1, 2012. Here are 3 that you may have encountered in the past:
Ball Moving After Address (Rule 18-2b). A new exception is added which exonerates the player from penalty
if their ball moves after it has been addressed when it is known or virtually certain that they did not cause the ball to
move. For example, if it is a gust of wind that moves the ball after it has been addressed, there is no penalty and the ball
is played from its new position.
Ball in Hazard; Prohibited Actions (Rule 13-4). Exception 2 to this Rule is amended to permit a player to
smooth sand or soil in a hazard at any time, including before playing from that hazard, provided it is for the sole purpose
of caring for the course and Rule 13-2 (improving lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of play) is not breached.
Time of Starting (Rule 6-3a). The rule is amended to provide that the penalty for starting late, but within
five minutes of the starting time, is reduced from disqualification to loss of the first hole in match play or two strokes
at the first hole in stroke play. Previously this penalty reduction could be introduced as a condition of competition.
9th Hole Blue NCGA disk. Lost but now found! The course have finally located the Blue NCGA disk on the 9th hole.
I’ve been telling them that it was located on the upper tee box but they insisted it was not. Well it was located on the upper
tee box. (Upper Tee Box Location: The Blue tee box hasn't been used from some time. If you are on the 8th green, look left (east).
You can see the railroad ties for the tee box. It really changes the hole dramatically.)
I went up there the other day and the tee box looks
very playable.
I will be making inquires to determine if they intent to maintain the tee area making it available for play.
If I can get assurances that they will, you can expect to see a grand reopening of the upper tee box for tournament play
sometime soon.
