When is a sandy par not a sandy par

[PhilTheFragger]

At the risk of opening myself up to even more abuse i'd like a definitive on this one

First hole this morning, par 5, put my drive into a fairway bunker, got out well with an 8 iron, and a crisp 5 iron onto the green
2 putts saw a par

Now I claimed a Sandy Par as I had been in the sand

But Imurg said that a Sandy par is only when you get up and down (or up and in) from a bunker, for a par

so who is right

and if I am wrong (which is quite possible)
then can I claim a semi sandy par

I look forward to being ripped yet another new one

Just claim a semi which at your age is a decent achievement

This is bordering on outrageous, first we have a gardener being scammed now cheating at golf, are GM towers just going to continually turn a blind eye to all of this.

No it's not a sandy par.

Is this really a question ?

You got par on the hole - ✅

You were in a bunker ✅

= Sandy Par

Best not answering, last time you asked a question and it didn’t go your way the thread got closed🙈

We call an up and down from a greenside bunker a golden ferret, you just got a run of the mill par.

[scratchauthority]

I'd class that as a sandy par based on the logic you were in the sand and you got a par

Would have to be from a greenside bunker to be called a sandy par for me.

To say from a fairway bunker, is like saying I holed out from 140 yards from a fairway and I get to call that is a hole in one, dream on

A golden ferret is when you hole a bunker shot, what you describe is a sandy par

 

[PhilTheFragger]

No I know what a hole in one is, seen 3 never had one yet.

Shows it was worth asking , some people say yes, some say no.

Was it you that closed the other thread ?as I’m wondering just because you were getting some honest answers to a question you posed its no reason to close it.

Think it’s stretching it a bit to call that a sand save.

 

[patricks148]

it would depend on if the person who got it paid the Gardener the right price

Is it really ? He got a Par after being in a sandy bunker - how can it not be a sandy par ?

When I started playing we played/ paid out on: sandy par was up and down from a bunker on a par 3. Golden ferret was holed bunker shot, ferret was a chip in, ouzlam (?) nearest the pin on a par three, but you had to get down in two or less putts, otherwise money carried over. Ferrets had to result in par or less.

Think we played for half crown on each side bet.

Love to play in your 3 ball sounds riveting

Completely new phrase to me. Never heard that one before.

Ok let’s call time on this.

I asked for the forums opinion and jolly well got it

The “garden” thread was closed ( but not removed, it’s still there) as the matter had been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.

Certain individuals started to use the thread to have a pop ( I may be a mod, but I’m also an active forum member and allowed to seek the advice of the forum,) but when it gets personal and nasty, it’s time to stop.

Now back on track and no more garden comments please

If you drove into a bunker, hit from there into the greenside bunker and holed that for 3, would that be a double golden sandy ferret birdie?
