----- 2012 GOLFWEEK AMATEUR GOLF TOUR SATURDAY, JULY 21 THE GOLF CLUB OF CHAPEL RIDGE ----- |
CHAPEL RIDGE 
The Golf Club at Chapel Ridge combines the course design talents of Bob Moore, and the player design skills of Fred Couples to provide a great tour experience. This is a great layout everyone loves playing that will force you to decide to either hit it long to bring either bunkers or hazards into play on your tee shots and all of the par 5s or to lay-up to be safe. Execute the hit it long shot and there could be a win and skins at the end of the day. Fail to execute and you will be crying in your beer at the end of the round. Here’s two hints. Most fairways are downhill and if it is a dry day they will be very hard and the ball will run further than you think – therefore make sure you have the right club and pick your angles carefully from the tee box. And ditto for these surprisingly fast greens, rarely shoot at the back pins except with wedges if you want your ball to remain on the green. With that being said, based on many reviews and comments, Chapel Ridge has already become a new favorite for all golfers in the Triangle and beyond because of its PGA Tour like feel. Summary: It is a fair course, however, keep it in the fairway and hit to the front or middle of most greens regardless of where the flag is or expect a high score. |

"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!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ JAMESTOWN'S NULTY WINS GOLFWEEK TOUR CHAMP FLIGHT DEBUT Greensboro, NC July 14, 2012 Jamestown's Michael Nulty played his first event on the Golfweek Amateur Golf Tour at Bryan Park 2 weeks ago. He started out in the A Flight. After that event, he told Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck he felt he would be better suited playing in the Championship Flight for future events. At his second event he proved himself correct, firing a 3-under 69 to take top honors in the top flight. "Michael's got the opportunity to go places with his game," said Hallenbeck. "We're happy to be a part of his tournament schedule". 
Grandover Resort Winner: Championship Flight - Michael Nulty Nulty wasn't the only player to break par in the flight as Winston-Salem's Chris Cassetta shot a 71 for solo second place. There was a playoff to determine the A Flight winner, but one thing was certain - the winner was gonna come out of Kernersville, because both competitors - Billy Lankford and David Hopkins call that small town home. After posting identical 74s over their original 18 holes, they went back out to the 395 yard, par - 4, 18th hole to start their sudden death playoff. Lankford ended the suspense quickly with a par for the victory - the second Tour event in-a-row that he's won. 
Grandover Resort Flight Winners (Left to Right). C Flight - Eric Friar; A Flight - Billy Lankford; B Flight - Mike Turbeville; D Flight - David Flanagan Lankford and Hopkins are going to be joined by Greensboro's Mike Turbeville in A Flight competition for their next event. Turbeville also made it 2 wins in-a-row in the B Flight with a 76. "I'm gonna move up to 'A'" stated Turbeville. "I know I can compete on that level". Raleigh's Travis Bailey, who just moved up into the B Flight from "C", took 2nd with a solid 78. Eric Friar of Whispering Pines was the class of the C Flight with an 84. He bested a trio of golfers - Charlotte's Robert Smith, Cary's Greg Carlton, and Darrell Smith of Julian by 3 strokes for the win. Clemmons' David Flanagan was a one-stroke winner over playing partner Keith Thomas in the D Flight - 91 to 92. The next Tour event is The Golf Club at Chapel Ridge in Pittsboro on July 21. There are openings for that event. Contact Hallenbeck at 336-495-6556, or email him at behgolf@aol.com to reserve a spot.

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.

Question from week #154 Bob’s son, Gary, is acting as caddie for his dad during the final round of the stroke play club championship. On the 16th green Bob has marked his ball by placing a coin behind the ball and tossed his ball to his son to clean. After cleaning the ball, Gary replaces the ball just behind his dad’s coin. Decide which of the following statements are correct: A. Bob’s ball is in play, regardless of Gary’s intentions. B. If Gary had no intention of putting the ball back on the correct spot, but Bob lifted his coin and makes a stroke at this ball he incurs a 2-stroke penalty under R15-3 for playing a wrong ball. C. If Gary did intend to put the ball back in play and Bob makes a stroke at his ball without first moving it to the correct spot, Bob is penalized two strokes for playing from a wrong place. D. It is ok for Gary to replace his father’s ball as he did, but if he replaces the ball on the correct spot, lifts the coin and his dad plays the ball, his dad incurs a 1-stroke penalty.
Answers: Statements B, C, D are correct. Unless you are a Rules Official or have been studying the Rules for some time, you probably had difficulty with this question. There is a lot going on here and it pivots on two key points of fact: what was Gary’s intentions when he placed his dad’s ball on the putting green, and what does Bob do as a result. B. A ball is not in play when lifted (Definition: ball in play). It retains the status of a ball not in play until replaced with the intention of putting it back into play. If Gary replaced his dad’s ball behind, rather than in front, of his Dad’s coin, so his dad could read the put, his dad did not have a ball in play. If this was Gary’s intention, then he would be expecting his father to lift and move the ball to the correct spot before playing. However if his dad made a stroke at the ball so placed behind the coin, because he did not have a ball in play, this would be deemed a stroke at a wrong ball. A wrong ball penalty occurs anytime a player makes a stroke at a ball other than his ball in play. This is a 2-stroke penalty and is a “must correct” penalty. All the strokes made at this wrong ball do not count for score. C. Back to Gary’s intentions. If Gary did intend to replace his father’s ball, then Bob’s ball is in play. If Bob goes and makes a stroke at his ball in play from this new spot, it would be a stroke from a wrong place. This is a 2-stroke penalty and he would have to continue to complete the hole with this ball as played. D. Rule 20-3 states that three people can “replace” a ball: the player, his partner, or the person who lifted the ball. Gary is none of these. So if Gary replaces his dad’s ball with the intention of putting it into play, either on the correct spot or, as in C, on an incorrect spot , he has breached this Rule and his dad is assessed a 1-stroke penalty. The reason why this penalty is not added to the penalty stroke count for C above is because Note 3 under R20-7 waives that associated penalty. This question demonstrates a key principle in correctly apply the Rules: you must first determine what was the intent of the people involved. You may not know the answer to this simply by observing what happened. For more on this process read in the preface, “The Facts of the Case” under the general topic How to Use the Rule Book. |
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.
