He is an enthusiastic, high handicap golfer, resident in Deflected Dublin, Ireland, who developed an interest, then a fascination, and now an obsession with the Rules of Golf. Barry’s relationship with the Rules began in 2000 with his participation in the inter-club Rules of Golf quiz competitions, organised by the Royal & Ancient for Golf Clubs in Great by Official Britain and Ireland. This then led to him writing articles, running quizzes, and delivering presentations on the Rules at a variety of Golf Club and corporate functions. In March 2008, Barry became the first person to achieve a 100% correct mark on the public Advanced Rules of Golf Course examination, run by the PGA in their headquarters at The Belfry, West Midlands, UK. or obvious reasons Tournament Officials don’t like to be At last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational, the reigning U.S. Amateur the subject of rulings!

The circumstance was error was discovered. that he was driving nonchalantly down the 9th fairway (!) in a golf cart marked, “Rules 2”, when Horsey’s well-struck ball bounced I am sure that most of us can sympathise with players, especially to the side of him, hit him on the shoulder, rolled across the floor amateurs, who make simple mistakes on their score cards. However, of his cart and dropped back onto the fairway. So what was the there can be no exceptions in applying the penalty of disqualification ruling? As both the official and the moving golf cart are outside under Rule 6-6b, whatever rationalisation, justification or excuse is agents and the incident was a true ‘rub of the green’, the ball had offered. A Committee that makes an exception to applying the Rules to be played from where it came to rest. This part of Rule 19-1 of Golf for one player will almost certainly regret its decision when it applies; is continually raised by others seeking to receive the same preferential treatment. If a player's ball in motion is accidentally deflected or stopped by any outside agency, it is a rub of the green, there is no penalty Good golfing, and the ball must be played as it lies.

(The answer is below)

Errors on Score Cards

If you have ever worked on a Golf Competitions Committee you are almost certain to have had a situation where a returned score card included either a wrong hole score, wrong handicap, or has not been signed.

There have been two recent instances where competitors in Tour events have had to be disqualified for returning score cards with such errors. At the Qatar Masters, German Pro, Marcel Siem, had transposed the scores from his 5th and 6th holes, so although the total strokes for the round was correctly recorded, two of the individual hole scores were not. Presumably Siem’s marker had entered the wrong scores for the two holes, perhaps a few holes after they were played, and he had not checked his individual scores before signing and returning his score card.

Each year the CJGA supports hundreds of junior golfers across Canada to enable them to play a sport that they love. However, we have only scratched the surface. While golf is a healthy, wholesome activity that relies on both physical and mental disipline to succeed, it is also relatively expensive. The Canadian Junior Golf Association has made every effort to open the door to all young people, regardless of economic means, but the reality that without greater support these efforts meet with limited success. As the CJGA strives to expand the opportunites for all our youth no matter what their affordability, it requires your financial assistance to help and grow the game of golf. Visit the Canadian Junior Golf Association, donatenow.ca site to make a donation in support of our youth. Learn more about how you can assist by donating and its benefits.
