Golfers need rule on soggY That was the Most "casual water", . we have ever had at the local golf courser Last Frid'ay night's storm 'left much of the bark nine under water and most 'of the bridges on both , nines were relocatdd making -crossing- the streams: almost. impossible. . - • , `• The course was cl9sed as a crew of 10_ workers retrieved bridges and anchored them back into place. It was a difficult task in the • freezing cold water with a _strong current fighting all the way. The most amazing thing was to. see the large bridge between number 11 :and 13 without its base. The "old dump. road -bridge" looks so solid and strong that it was difficult . to believe that the power of the water could lift up the bridge's base and carry it away. The water. was as high as the 16th. green: higher than any of us 'remember. • At/the time of this writing. The water Was receding quickly but the back pine was still closest 'and -no power cans• were • allowed, on the course until things dried up considerably. It seemed an appropriate time to introduce -soine.golfers to the concept of "casual water" , and the rule that prevents golfers from having —to play ip it. . The casual water rule is a part of rule number 25 - abnormal ground conditions and wrong putting green. Casual water is defined as "any temporary accumulation of water on the course which is visible before oraftcr the player takes his stance and is not in a water hazard.". Dew is -not casual water. Well. the water on the course recently and muc tI—of whoa -stili there is definitely -casual — water. The large puddles in the lower -areas of some of the fairways wilt eventually. -dry up, hence the -"temporary" classification. When the ponds and streams overflow•their hanks and the watergoes outside of the red or yellow lines and stakes that define•these water hazards. then the water outside of the hazard is also defined as casual water. Now we know what it is and where it is, but how do we deal with it in our game of • golf' Well if your golf ball lies in or touches the casual water or if you have to stand in the water to make your shot, you may choose to play the ball as it lies or you may take relief without penalty under most circumstances. Remember that you can never move the golf ball closer to the hole. If you have interference to your swing or stance from casual water, what you do is find the nearest place that you can stand and swing without being in the casual water, but not closer to the hole. Once you find that spot, you can then drop the ball for another ball if you can't retrieve the first one in deep casual water, within one club length of that spot. There is no penalty for this drop. 1. The later dated cheque is for travel fee only. Minor hockey will increase fees by 525 -after the June dates so don't miss it. If you are ndt sure- your child wants -to` play or not. register anyway and the cheque can .he returned to You if they are not playing. Minor hockey wishes to.

You may lift the ball and place it in a spot that gives you relief from the casual water - remember never closer.to the hole. Oh yes, you can clean the ball when you take relief from casual water. - [once played in- a tournament in Stratford at the country club. which is located along the banks .of the .Ajion River. There had been a severe storm the night before but qhe tournament was, still held. What at day that .was."The score escalated because of -the casual water on the course. You would hit areasonably -good drive that would land in casual water in the middle of, the fairway, Of course. there • was absolutely no roll so extra distance"was" impossible -to, obtain. 'Sometimes the ball was lost in the casual water and sometimes it was retrieved. To get relief no nearer the hole: We were constantly backtracking to find a spot to hit from. -Sometimes there was no place to go so you just hit from the sopping mess. It was a long course and t'very long day. The situation will be much the same at many golf courses in our area for the next week or so. Remember the casual .water rule and use it to your advantage.. - Last,week at the Seatorth-GolfClub the following things took place: - two hole in ones were scored: Keith Connolly aced the 10th hole on Tuesday night and Steve Knight aced number three on Sunday morning. Linda Doig had the least number of putts at Ladies Night. •Members remember to sign up for match play events and mentor nights. -The SOS Scramble was held on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. - delayed by Mother Nature.
