COURSE POLICIES Heat, Wind and Lightning Policy - see web
site.
LOCAL & TEMPORARY RULES Temporary Local Rules – see notice board in front of golf shop
Local rules are on the back of the scorecard
Summary- Garden Beds- Mulch A quick
refresher on Mulch/Garden Bed Local rules
(on the back of the scorecard ) and our temporary local rules (located on the
proshop noticeboard near the 10th tee). Our mulch areas are integral parts of the
course unless the mulch is signed (“garden bed”). If there is a garden bed sign you
must take relief from the mulch “garden bed” area. If the area is not signed (such as
along the 12th path, behind the 10th) you
must play the ball as it lies unless you can take the following option.
Local rule – you must take relief from trees
or shrubs under 2 club length in height. Rule 24-2b. Remember that taking relief
from a staked tree or shrub under 2 clublengths is not relief from the mulch,
only from the tree. If not sure ask a golf committee member or staff. No need to
guess. The Golf Committee/ Course staff over time
are improving the mulch “garden bed” areas and making them uniform in looks, so
that 1. They are easier to play off (such as the
Aus Open picture),
2. The cosmetic look of the course is more appealing.
2
Paths for clarity under our rules and the
rules of golf you may take relief from Granetic (below) and concrete paths only .
All other paths are general wear and tear and relief is not allowed under the rule 25-
1. For example below, if you ball is on the
path you may take relief at the nearest point. If that point is on the mulch you
must drop and play from the mulch (as no garden bed sign exists). You may opt to
play off the path.

18 -24 November 2018 - National
Skin Cancer Action Week
Information from Cancer Council of
Australia phone
131120
Each year Cancer Council Australia and the
Australasian College of Dermatologists come together for National Skin Cancer
Action Week. With two in three Australians diagnosed
with skin cancer by age 70, the action week is an important reminder to use sun
protection and of the importance of early skin cancer detection for all Australians.
More than 2,000 people in Australia die
from skin cancer each year, and Cancer Council estimates that Australia spends
more than $1 billion per year treating skin cancer, with costs increasing substantially
over the past few years. However, most skin cancers can be
prevented by the use of good sun protection. That’s why this National Skin
Cancer Action Week, all Australians are urged to use the five forms of sun
protection. These are to: slip on sun-protective clothing
slop on SPF30 (or higher) broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen
slap on a broad-brimmed hat
seek shade slide on sunglasses.
A combination of these measures, along with getting to know your skin and regularly
checking for any changes, are the keys to reducing your skin cancer risk.
More details on National Skin Cancer Action Week 2018 will be available later in the
year.
A Rock Hudson Putt: Looks straight…but it
ain't…
Fairway: An unfamiliar tract of closely mown grass running directly from tee to the
green.
Your ball can usually be found immediately to the left or right of it.
Golf is a game in which the slowest people
in the world are those in front of you, and the fastest are those behind.
You know you're a hack when your divot
flies farther than your ball!
The difference between a whiff and a practice swing is that nobody curses after a
practice swing.
Oxymoron: An easy par three.
“My game is so bad I had to have my ball retriever regripped!”

Golf is a game where the ball lies poorly,
and the players lie well.
Real golfers don't miss putts, they get robbed.
Real golfers don't cry when they line up their fourth putt.

Although golf was originally restricted to
wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it’s open to anybody who owns hideous
clothing. -Dave Barry
Nobody knows precisely when the sport
called “golf” started, as ball and stick games seem to be a constant throughout
human history. The Dutch played kolf, which began in the 14th century and
involves hitting a ball against a post in the ground. In the French version, jeu de mail,
the ball was hit through hoops using a hammer. In England it was called palle
maille, (which is how the London street Pall Mall got its name) and ultimately evolved
into croquet. But it was the Scots who really deserve the
credit. Sometime in the 15th century, Scottish merchants brought the Dutch kolf
craze home to St Andrews and adopted it
as their own by making the target a hole in the ground.
Illegal
The first mention of “golf” was in a 1457 act making it illegal. James II of Scotland
banned golf and football and suggested
7
people spend their time practising archery instead, as this might be of some defensive
help to the country. The ban was reinforced by James III in
1471, and again by James IV in 1491. This royal dislike for the game obviously faded,
as the first recorded female golfer was Mary
Queen of Scots.
Lingo “Links” comes from the Old English hlinc
meaning raised or ridged ground. A birdie is a score of one under par – and the birds
grow rarer as the score improves: an eagle is two under par, an albatross three under,
while four under par is unofficially known as a condor. Scoring a condor – a hole-in-one
on a par five hole – is almost unheard of. There are only four reported occurrences:
the most recent of which was hit by 16-year-old Jack Bartlett at the Royal
Wentworth Falls Country Club in New South
Wales, Australia in 2007. The odds of hitting two holes-in-one in the
same round are 67 million to one.
Rules The oldest known rules of golf were written
in 1744 by an Edinburgh Golf Club – in the original rules you had to tee off within a
club’s length of the hole. The Richmond Golf
Club drafted additional rules during the Second World War, so players would know
what to do if bombs were dropped mid-game. These duties included collecting any
shrapnel (as it could damage the lawnmowers) and being allowed to take
cover during gunfire or bombings and replace a ball displaced by enemy action
without penalty.
Balls Early golf balls used to be filled with
feathers. These would be stuffed into a leather case with an iron rod and a ball-
maker could produce 50 to 60 in a week. In
the 1840s, golf balls began to be made out of gutta percha (a form of natural rubber).
These were cheaper and more hard-wearing than the feathered version but meant golf
clubs became heavier and did more damage to the grounds.
Woodrow Wilson had his golf balls painted black so he could still play when it snowed.
Gear I
There were no golf bags until the 1890s –
before then caddies simply tied a strap around the clubs. The first golf tees were
piles of sand. Moulds to make the mound soon appeared which were followed by
celluloid tees in 1900. Golf holes are always 4¼in wide and have
been since 1891. This is because The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R & A)
wrote the rule book, and their holecutter
had those measurements. Before the advent of the cutter, golf holes were just
dug with trowels.
Gear II The oft remarked-upon garishness of
golfing outfits dates back to the 18th century when players wore red jackets for
the game. Clubs took attire seriously and you could be fined if you weren’t wearing
the right outfit. In 1960, South African golfer Gary Player
wore a pair of trousers with one black leg and one white leg to the Open
Championship in St Andrews to protest
against Apartheid. Plus-fours contain four inches more
material than regular knee-length trousers; you can also get shorter plus-twos and
longer plus-eights.
Extreme golf The Green Zone Golf Club is located on the
border of Finland and Sweden: half the holes are in one country and half in the
other. South Africa’s Legend Golf and Safari Resort has a tee which is 1,300ft up a
mountain. The green is far below, at ground level, but
if you make a hole-in-one you win
$1,000,000.
