Loose Impediments near balls in the fairway – did you see the recent European Tour event (Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship)? Jorge CAMPILLO’s ball came to rest against a loose impediment in the fairway. That loose impediment was an unreplaced divot. Jorge had three choices:
Play it as it lies, take an unplayable for a penalty of one stroke, or try and move the loose impediment. The only issue with the last move is that if the player causes the ball to move, the player will incur a one stroke penalty and need to replace the ball.
The GRQotW for Episode 25, there is no free relief from the spray of a sprinkler.
Marcela from @GirlFriendsGuidetoGolf was kind enough to ask a question about players who proceed incorrectly under the Rules.
Would you want to accept a trophy that you knew you had won without playing by the Rules??
Then we delve into the very often broken Rules in club golf of advice. So what is advice? And when is a penalty attached?
Any verbal comment or action (such as showing what club was just used to make a stroke) that is intended to influence a player.
But advice does not include public information.
A penalty is attached when you ask for, or give advice. This is not limited to verbal communication.
Lastly, we provide another GRQotW for you to wrap your head around and come up with an answer:
Rossco and Blakey are both fast players and both have bunker shots to contend with, and as they are in different bunkers and neither can see the other, they both think it is their turn to play. They play at the same time and the balls collide on the green, before settling about 10cm away from where the collision happened. Player C saw the whole thing play out. What is the ruling?
Finally we get to IVORs and Background Bingo.
Thank you and hit us up with your questions and scenarios.
Blakey & Rossco
