GUR

[JV24601]

What defines GUR and who can apply it?

 

[ScienceBoy]

Usually white spray paint, applied by the green keepers I would assume.

I think the definition of GUR is hitting the actual putting surface and having a putt for birdie or less.

I apply mine myself - I always give myself a GUR if i'm in the fringe but I have a putt.

The same for fairways in reg as well - if i'm in the 2nd cut with a good lie i'd probably give it to myself.

 

[Hosel Fade]

Normally white or blue lines or blue stakes.

In theory applied by the committee, in practice the greenkeepers.

That's GIR stokie.

I'm referring to GUR (green under repair).

You're thinking of GIR. (Greens in Regulation).

Edit: Beat me to it.

What if nothing is being done about it and it's in play with no lines or stakes?
I'm talking really bad/bald patches in prime positions.

Who will decide the standard? what some deem bald others will deem alright and there will be no consistency across the competition.

Play it as it lies, we have quite a few areas like this on our course


There are a few extras that don't have to be marked, one of which is piles of stuff greenkeepers have made to remove, eg imagine a pile of logs they've cut up and left but dry/bare earth isn't one of them

Think you'll find you spelt it wrong

 

[Tarkus1212]

GUR is any part of the course so marked by order of the committee or so declared by its authorised representative. It includes material piled for removal and a hole made by a greenkeeper, even if not so marked.

Then you are getting the benefit of links golf in the height of summer on a parkland course :whoo:

I thought it was a case of the I and the U key being right next to eachother

 

[USER1999]

We have some very scrappy lies just off the green, which makes chipping on a lottery.

It's just the way it is, but it makes the place look like a municipal.
