2012 GOLFWEEK AMATEUR GOLF TOUR
SATURDAY, JULY 14
GRANDOVER RESORT

Grandover Resort (West)
| |

Don’t miss playing this beautiful course in Greensboro.
Grandover is always in pristine condition, is a great course to play and one that can challenge you if you don't keep it in the fairway. It was designed on rolling terrain in 1997.
The course is lined with towering hardwoods, and most of the elevated greens have moderate undulations and can be fast but true.
This is a favorite for all who have played.

"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold"
Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!
Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf
EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!
Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.
-
It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)
-
It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).
-
It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!

"When you have a chance to shoot the lowest score of your life you won't choke - You Will Go Low!"

A & B FLIGHTS HIGHLIGHT GOLFWEEK MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Browns Summit, NC
June 30, 2012
Billy Lankford of Kernersville and Greensboro's Mike Turbeville provided the "stand-out" stories from Golfweek Amateur Golf Tour event at Bryan Park - The Champions Course. In the 2012 season's 3rd Major Championship both emerged as winners - Lankford with a very low score and Turbeville with an impressive playoff win. With their wins, both receive an automatic invitation to the Tour National Championship in Hilton Head come October.
(L to R) Championship - Neal Faulkner; A Flight - Billy Lankford,
Lankford turned in the lowest score of any competitor in the 106-man field with an even par 72 in A Flight competition. He was 2 shots clear of Jamestown's Michael Nulty who was making his 2012 Tour debut. "Lankford has been a factor in almost every event he's entered this season, but this was his breakout performance", said Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck. "Nulty was also impressive. I believe we're gonna see him in Championship Flight competition shortly".
The B Flight excitement was generated by a 4-man playoff, as Turbeville, Justin McClendon of Clemmons, Kernersville's Brett Simon and Bob Sheahan of Apex all turned in regulation scores of 81 before going out to settle matters in a sudden-death playoff. Turbeville emerged the winner on the first hole as 2 competitors found water and one found the woods, allowing Turbeville to win with a simple par.
(L to R) B Flight Winner, Mike Turbeville and 3 sudden death players Justin McClendon, Brett Simon and Bob Sheahan
"I've got a dream", stated Turbeville, "and it includes moving up in competition. I expect to be going up to A Flight soon and Championship after that".
In the Championship Flight Gibsonville's Neal Faulkner, a multiple winner this season grabbed 1st place with a 75. While Lankford in the A Flight shot a 72, in fairness it should be noted that Faulkner played from the Blue Tees - over 400 yards further back than his A Flight brethren. Greensboro's Jeremy Kilgore took 2nd place in his Tour debut, one back with a 76.
Travis Bailey of Raleigh easily outdistanced Charlotte's Robert Smith for C Flight honors - 82 to 88. The D Flight was much closer as Greensboro's Keith Thomas edged 2 players - Fuquay Varina's Daniel Patterson, and Randleman's Jeff Jackson by a single stroke - 94 to 95.
(L to R) C Flight - Travis Bailey; D Flight - Keith Thomas
The Golfweek Amateur Tour will take the week of the 4th of July off and resume play on July 14 at Grandover Resort. Any amateur interested in playing in that event can call Hallenbeck at 336-495-6556.

ONLY TWO WAYS TO GET TO THE GOLFWEEK NATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT HILTON HEAD
Where Are You In The
Year-End Point Standings Race?
There are only two ways to get to the year ending National Tournament - win one of the four majors (only 2 remain) or be one of the Top 10 point earners in your flight.
We have reached halfway into the season and some of the point races of who will be #1 in the Flights and places 7 - 14 are very tight. As little as 25 points separate tour competitors.
Do you know how many tournaments you will need to play and what place you will need to finish in each tournament to ensure you have your automatic invitation? Don't be left out.

Rules Review
It has been suggested that there should be a series of Rules scenarios for you to solve. So begins a series of problems titled What's the Score?
Doc Miller has graciously agreed to allow me to share these with you that he has been sending since July 2009.
I will include one each week. You should try to determine the answer based upon your knowledge of the Rules when ever possible and then use your Rule book to confirm.
There will be no trick questions or hidden information.
If you do not have a Rules of Golf book handy, go to: usga.org/Rule-Books and-Decisions |

Questions from week #153
Part I: Sue hit her tee ball ball into a lateral water hazard where she thinks it is playable. She then makes a stroke at this ball but it does not clear the hazard margin, but she still feels it is playable. Her next attempt is successful and she gets the ball back onto the fairway.
What does Sue lie in the fairway?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
Part II: Sue hit her tee ball ball into a lateral water hazard where she thinks it is playable. She then makes a stroke at this ball but it does not clear the hazard margin, but she still feels it is playable. Her next attempt is worse yet and now the ball is not playable. Without marking the position of her ball, Sue lifts her ball, cleans it, and drops it back in the hazard at the spot from which she just played. After the drop she decides it is not playable. She again lifts the ball without marking its position, exits the hazard and drops a different ball within two club-lengths of and not nearer the hole where her tee ball last crossed the margin of the lateral water hazard.
Sue made a stroke at this ball and hit it just short of the green, what doe she lie short of the green?
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8
Answers:
Q 1. A., Sue lies 3. No Rule breaches, just count the strokes.
Q2. B, Sue lies 6 short of the green. She will have made four strokes at her ball and has two penalty strokes. The first penalty stroke occurred when she took relief under R26-1a, dropping at the spot of her previous stroke (the spot of her first stroke from within the hazard). When she decided she could not make a stroke at this dropped ball she incurred a second 1 stroke penalty under R26-1-c, by dropping outside the hazard within two club-lengths of the point where her ball last crossed the margin of the hazard on her original tee ball.
~~If a ball is to be lifted under a Rule that does not require it to be replaced, there is no requirement to mark before lifting.
~~Any time a player lifts a ball under a Rule, with three exceptions, they may clean it. The three exceptions are listed in Rule 21.
~~Anytime a player proceeds under one of the relief options for R26, they may substitute a ball.
When Sue decided she could no longer attempt to play the ball from the hazard, since this is a lateral hazard, she had three relief options all under penalty of one stroke. Two of the options are based upon where her ball last crossed the margin of the hazard and one is based upon the spot of her last stroke from outside the margin. In Sue’s case, all of these spots are associated with her tee ball. To take relief out side the margin,
Sue can either:
- Return to the spot of her last stroke made from outside the margin of the hazard (the teeing ground) and put a ball into play, or
- Locate the spot on the margin of the hazard where her ball last crossed the margin, and keep that spot between her and the hole, retreating behind the hazard as far as she chooses to drop a ball, or
- (For lateral water hazards only) locate the spot on the margin of the hazard where her ball last crossed the margin, and drop within 2 club-lengths of that spot, no closer to the hole or if she desires on the opposite margin within 2 club-lengths of the point on the margin that is equidistant from the hole.
The reference for this information is found in Rule 26-2. To fully understand what you are reading in this Rule, pay close attention to the paragraph and sub-paragraph structure or it gets very confusing. |

Tour Weather Guidelines:
Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.
The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).
In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.
If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
