============================================================== CHAMP FLIGHT BATTLE HIGHLIGHTS GOLFWEEK TOUR EVENT Carthage, NC June 8, 2013 A questionable weather report and very soggy conditions greeted the players who signed up for today's Golfweek Amateur Tour event at Little River Resort. The course was pounded by heavy rain storms for 2 days prior to the event,but recovered sufficiently to host the scheduled tournament even though the wet ground keep "roll" to a minimum. Despite these conditions strong winning scores were posted in all flights, highlighted by a tight race for the top spot in the Championship Flight. Fayetteville's Chris Collins went eagle-birdie on his last 2 holes to finish with a one-under 70 and a 1 stroke edge over two other flight members - Charlotte's Jim Autry and Dan Holland of High Point. "Collins has been playing really well in this, his rookie season 'on-Tour' " stated Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck. "Today he went up against 2 of the best players on Tour. Autry has been National Champion on both the Golfweek Tour as well as the "sister" Senior Amateur Golf Tour, while Holland is a multiple winner of the Triad Tour Points Standings race". The A Flight belonged to Tour veteran Robin Gomez of Greensboro who shot a 73 and also enjoyed a 1 shot margin of victory against Raleigh's Matt Pettis. Gomez' round was highlighted by a front-side 34 - his best 9-hole score in his Tour career. Single shot wins continued in the B Flight as Marcus Dudley of Raeford took home his first Tour trophy with a 77 that bested Winston-Salem's Jason Smith by 1. In comparison, James Eatmon of Sims had the luxury of one extra shot as his 86 in the C Flight was 2 shots clear of Fayetteville's Alex Townsend. Zebulon's Greg Dauscher, who won his 3rd D Flight event in a row with a 3-shot win over Broadway's Ed Polanec, 91 to 94, stated "It's time for me to go into the C Flight and win up there". "I like Greg's chances to continue his winning ways in the C Flight", said Hallenbeck. The next event for the Golfweek Tour will be at Bryan Park in Greensboro on the Championship Course - the same course that held the 2010 USGA Publinks Championship. There are openings for any amateur golfer to compete in that event.

"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!

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 #203 What do you think? a. Andy’s ball is in a bunker mostly covered by leaves. He can see the ball as viewed standing behind the ball, but it is not visible after taking his stance. Andy adjusts the leaves such that he can make out his ball after taking his stance...permitted or not permitted? b. Ben’s ball is believed to be in shallow murky water in a water hazard. In probing Ben accidentally moves his ball. If Ben decides to play the ball, he is assessed a 1-stroke penalty for moving his ball in play...correct or incorrect? c. Craig finds a ball in the rough that he believes is his but he cannot see his identifying mark. Without moving the ball relative to its at rest position, Craig rotates it enough to see his identifying mark. This is permitted under the Rules...sure is, or, no way? d. Danny boy thinks he has hit his tee ball into a large Pampas Grass clump. He gingerly moves the grasses around. He sees a ball and dives in to retrieve it. In his eagerness to retrieve the ball it moves downwards further into the clump. At last, he grabs it, discovers it is his and then tells his fellow competitors he is declaring this ball unplayable. He takes relief under R28b, dropping well behind the clump of grass, but keeping the original spot of the ball between him and the hole. His next stroke will be his third...um, yeah; or, nope, his 4th?
Answers a. Not permitted. First sentence in R12-1, Seeing Ball; Searching for Ball: A player is not necessarily entitled to see his ball when making a stroke. Then, you need to dig a littler deeper into the Rule, specifically the wording in paragraph b. Here we find more guidance for a ball in a hazard covered by loose impediments. Finally, for our specific case you should read D12-1/3. A player is not permitted to remove leaves provided his ball is visible from some angle, unfortunately just not from the address position. b. Incorrect, no penalty assessed to this point. Without penalty, Ben is permitted to search for a ball that lies in water inside a water hazard. If he moves the ball and he intends to play it, it must be replaced. Otherwise he may lift and proceed under R26-1. (R12-1c) c. No way!. The player has a specific procedure he must follow to identify his ball in play. He must: Announce, Permit observation, Mark, No cleaning, Replace. (R12-2) Craig incurred a 1-stroke penalty for rotating his ball in this manner. d. Nope, his 4th. Danny’s ball, as it lay in the grass clump is in play. When he first sees a ball, he should think about not allowing this ball to move during the search to identify it. If he considers he will probably declare it unplayable, he should announce this intention ahead of time. That way, if the ball subsequently moves, there is no penalty. Additionally, if he thinks he might try to play it, but needs to ID it first, he should come up with a way to first mark the position of the ball so that he can correctly replace it if it does move. We cannot just dive headlong into the bush with no regard for our actions. This same thought process should be used when searching for a ball inside a water hazard but not in water. (R12-1, R12-2, R18-2a, R28)=============================================== |
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.
