  • 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.

  • Teeing Ground the “Teeing Ground’’ Is the Starting Place for the Hole to Be Played
    Featuring the “Not Ready for Prime Time” Bunker Players *disclaimer: any similarity to real persons or events is unfortunately … the truth! Our players are getting ready to tee off for Thursday league play. Everyone is so excited that the snow is finally gone. Watch carefully. Are they really ready to play golf? Teeing Ground The “teeing ground’’ is the starting place for the hole to be played. It is a rectangular area two club-lengths in depth, the front and the sides of which are defined by the outside limits of two tee- markers. A ball is outside the teeing ground when all of it lies outside the teeing ground . It is rectangular to the tee markers, regardless if placed correctly by the grounds keeper! A teed the ball up within the teeing ground but took her stance outside the teeing ground B made a stroke at the ball, missed but ball went forward.. She then re-teed and made another stroke at the ball. C teed up in front of the markers. D teed up in front, on the line defining the front edge of the teeing ground A teed the ball up within the teeing ground but took her stance outside the teeing ground. B: Could have played it as it lied and been hitting 2. Since she re- teed her ball, she took ‘stroke & distance penalty’ and hit her ball from the place where her last stroke occurred, the Teeing Ground. She incurred 1 stroke penalty and was then hitting 3. C: Her ball is not in play, she incurs a 2 stroke penalty and she must correct.

  • Caddie Guide
    GETTING STARTED AS A CADDIE A GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS 49 Knollwood Road • Elmsford, NY 10523 www.mgagolf.org INTRODUCTION Caddieing is a great job. The money is good, you work outdoors and have an opportunity to meet successful and influential people, and you may even earn a college scholarship. Caddieing is an important job. 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. He must also communicate effectively with the Golf Professional and other club staff members and can have a significant influence on the extent to which the membership enjoys the game. A professionally trained, knowledgeable and courteous group of caddies and a well-managed caddie program can help a club deal more effectively with slow play, significantly add to the number of enjoyable rounds of golf a n d enhance the club’s overall image of a first class operation.
