Your right in that you don’t need to announce in advance now, but if I were near and could see the markings already I’d be asking what other markings they hope to see that are different from those visible, Very few people would have different marks on the opposite side. If said markings...

Cheers, just the ones I was searching for. Interesting that they always reference speaking to the committee who can take action, which realistically on the course during play won't happen

So today in our group a player hit the ball into the some trees at the back of a green, given as OB without question. But when we approached the ball there was only one OB stake along that line, they used to be there and can only assume someone's moved/stolen them. I thought it should still be...

It's the interference bit I think. I was always led to believe that full relief meant the obstruction also wasn't in between your swing and stance. But if that's not the case then completely agree with what your saying. And yes I could've taken NPR 6inch towards me then dropped the other side-...

No,I get what you mean about an arc(or circle that's one club, but you must take full relief , 1 club length going the other side of the mole hill means you'd then be standing on it, unless you manage to drop it and come to rest a foot the other side so that the mole hill sits in between your...

Or in this case, that foot for NPR meant the player (me) taking a step backwards and going from the edge of a thick bush to an unplayable stance in the bush.

Duncan- re 1, not huge, but the ball right up against it so there's no backswing- 1 club nearest point meant an unplayable shot as it put the stance in a bush.

Cheers guys, confirmed some of my thoughts, 1) just seems a bit unfair but it's the nature of the game I guess. 2) is there anywhere that confirms this, I can't see it calling this out in the rule book. Re 3) I must admit I've not heard of them related to as a set, always thought it was based...

So 3 situations today that caused some confusion- all in a club comp, 1) ball at rest with a mole hill interfering with backswing, nearest point of relief put the stance in the middle of a bush so not an option resulting in the ball played as it lied, is it an option to remove the loose soil...

question that arose today that sparked debate in our group and couldnt see anything 100% in the rule book.t we have posts in the grounds marking 150, hazards etc that are deemed as moveable obstructions as they are in plastic tubes and can be lifter out. all in agreement that your entitled to...

agree, in my view which also makes any phone with internet browser and golf apps you need a data connection for illegal, as via this you have access to a compass, weather etc. saw something elsewhere but where does this then stand with the rules of golf app designed for easy access on the...

dont get me wrong chris, i dont agree with using them unless they are purpose built for golf and have no other functions. i'm working away this week but if no one has responded with the specific rule by the time i get home i'll check my decisions of golf book. my point was simply that this is...

i think this was he original article i was looking for. http://gps.about.com/od/gpsproductoverview/a/smartphone-golf-gps-rules.htm

i have 2 other pairs, my failsafe aqua lite, and a new pair of dryjoys that i won both with synthetic inners, i think swinger hit the nail on the head, because its a soft full grain leather they've stretched while worn and doesnt cope well with getting wet.

found the part on the R and A website Q. What about multi-functional devices, such as a mobile phone, with a distance measuring application? A. On the course, subject to any club or course regulations, a multi-functional device may be used to phone, text or email – provided the purpose is...
