    Penalty Area Rules Session

    The one I got wrong was the one I was most sure of. 😄. 'Any part of the ball above the edge of the penalty area' is deemed in PA. I suppose if its touching the line its in, but I bet I'm not the only ref who would say GA, especially if the red post was not there. Excellent posting though.

    Penalty Area Rules Session

    OK, I will have a go. 1. Not in PA. Area is defined by line between outside edge of the stakes, so ball in GA. 2. Cant remove a white boundry stake, but you can remove a red one.

    Alterations to WHS?

    Had a quick look at the changes to the RoH. I can see some trouble ahead with Appendix C changes regarding 'Impact of field size on Handicap allowances'. It uses the word 'could' throughout. This would imply that the option would rest with the creator of the comp on the ISV software. Does anyone...

    What rule did Rory break?

    I have not seen the footage, but completely understand the ruling. I have read that taking one club length enabled him to avoid playing round a tree. Surely this could be considered a serious breach?

    Can scores obtained abroad impact my handicap?

    Following this logic, should we just use the new US version of the Rules of Handicapping, or should we in fact wait for the UK version?

    Can scores obtained abroad impact my handicap?

    If its not pre registered, then it is not an acceptable score. RoH 2.1a iii
