The most significant adjustments made following review of the feedback received from golfers around the world include: We are proud of all of our CJGA alumni, and they continue to inspire the next generation of Canadian junior golfers. The Dropping procedure: When taking relief (from an abnormal course condition or penalty area, for example), golfers will now drop from knee height. This will accomplishments with the likes of LPGA professional - Brooke ensure consistency and simplicity in the dropping process while also preserving Henderson, and PGA professional - Adam Hadwin, have helped the randomness of the drop. (Key change: the proposed Rules released in 2017 pave the way for future professionals, which aligns to our tagline: suggested dropping from any height). #YourFutureStartsHere. A great example of this is with 3 of our CJGA junior golfers (Landon Kelly, Luke DelGobbo, and Vanessa Measuring in taking relief: The golfer’s relief area will be measured by using the Borovilos) participating in the 2018 Drive, Chip & Putt longest club in his/her bag (other than a putter) to measure one club-length or Championship at Augusta National during Masters week. Vanessa two club-lengths, depending on the situation, providing a consistent process for went onto winning her division…congratulations! golfers to establish his/her relief area. (Key change: the proposed Rules released in 2017 suggested a 20-inch or 80-inch standard measurement). The CJGA is proud to announce new National partnerships with Removing the penalty for a double hit: The penalty stroke for accidentally striking the ball more than once in the course of a stroke has been removed. Golfers will simply count the one stroke they made to strike the ball. (Key change: the proposed Rules released in 2017 included the existing one-stroke penalty). Balls Lost or Out of Bounds: Alternative to Stroke and Distance: A new Local Rule will now be available in January 2019, permitting committees to allow golfers the option to drop the ball in the vicinity of where the ball is lost or out of bounds (including the nearest fairway area), under a two-stroke penalty. It addresses concerns raised at the club level about the negative impact on pace of play when a player is required to go back under stroke and distance. The Local Rule is not intended for higher levels of play, such as professional or elite level competitions. (Key change: this is a new addition to support pace of play).

  • The Greenkeeper and the Rules of Golf

    The Greenkeeper and the Rules of Golf

    The Greenkeeper and the Rules of Golf Tim Hudspith, of the PGA's Tournament Department outlines some of the rules with which greenkeepers should be well acquainted wmmmmQpm Q Q Q For a greenkeeper to set up a golf course that is well defined for not only the player but also the Committee administering an event, an awareness and understanding of a number of Rules of Golf issues is of prime importance. The rules of the game revolve around honesty and integrity and every greenkeeper must endeavour to provide all golfers who step on to their course with an opportunity of applying them fairly and consistently. This article will attempt to identify a number of on-course rules issues that are frequently misunderstood and applied incorrectly by many greenkeepers up and down the country. THE TEEING GROUND The game of golf begins at the teeing ground and this is one area of the course where many misjudgements are made. The Rules of Golf defines it as 'a rectangular area two-dub lengths in depth', therefore when setting the tee markers, greens staff should always ensure that they are positioned at least two dub-lengths forward from the back edge of the tee. Additionally, the area surrounding the teeing ground must also be considered. A golfer should be able to make an unobstructed swing even if he tees his ball at the extremity of the two dub-length area. Therefore, any trees, artificial obstructions (e.g. tee boards) or advertising banners that may obstruct the golfer when taking his stance or swing should be identified and the markers adjusted if necessary.

It is part of golf’s heritage and part of its future. It is also a great way to learn the game of golf. This is YOUR book. Study it and ask your Caddie Manager or Golf Professional to explain anything that is not entirely clear. Knowledge of its contents will help make you a better caddie and valuable to the club and the golfers you serve. This book is published by the MGA Foundation. We believe caddies are an important part of the game of golf and together we are working to help keep young people like you active and interested in this great sport. THE CADDIE MANAGER The Caddie Manager is pivotal to the golf club industry with many responsibilities, which can materially affect the welfare of the club. The Caddie Manager is charged with the task of recruiting and scheduling caddies.
