If a rake is within reasonable proximity of the bunker, the rake should be used for this purpose. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><strong>Repair of Divots, Ball-Marks and Damage by Shoes</strong><br />Players should carefully repair any divot holes made by them and any damage to the putting green made by the impact of a ball (whether or not made by the player himself). On completion of the hole by all players in the group, damage to the putting green caused by golf shoes should be repaired.<br /><br /><strong>Preventing Unnecessary Damage</strong><br />Players should avoid causing damage to the course by removing divots when taking practice swings or by hitting the head of a club into the ground, whether in anger or for any other reason.<br /><br />Players should ensure that no damage is done to the putting green when putting down bags or the flagstick.<br /><br />In order to avoid damaging the hole, players and caddies should not stand too close to the hole and should take care during the handling of the flagstick and the removal of a ball from the hole. The head of a club should not be used to remove a ball from the hole.<br /><br />Players should not lean on their clubs when on the putting green, particularly when removing the ball from the hole.<br /><br />The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole before players leave the putting green.<br /><br />Local notices regulating the movement of golf carts should be strictly observed.</span><br /></span>Blue Skies Plus LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15192452233013137768noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963935455571605455.post-82083138086368832072009-04-30T08:00:00.000-07:002009-04-30T08:00:09.657-07:00Etiquette of Golf ...

The Committee may establish pace of play guidelines that all players should follow. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />It is a group's responsibility to keep up with the group in front. If it loses a clear hole and it is delaying the group behind, it should invite the group behind to play through, irrespective of the number of players in that group. Where a group has not lost a clear hole, but it is apparent that the group behind can play faster, it should invite the faster moving group to play through.<br /><br /><strong>Be Ready to Play</strong><br />Players should be ready to play as soon as it is their turn to play. When playing on or near the putting green, they should leave their bags or carts in such a position as will enable quick movement off the green and towards the next tee. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green.<br /><br /><strong>Lost Ball</strong><br />If a player believes his ball may be lost outside a water hazard or is out of bounds, to save time, he should play a provisional ball.<br /><br />Players searching for a ball should signal the players in the group behind them to play through as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found. They should not search for five minutes before doing so. Having allowed the group behind to play through, they should not continue play until that group has passed and is out of range.<br /><br /><strong>Priority on the Course</strong><br />Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, priority on the course is determined by a group's pace of play. Any group playing a whole round is entitled to pass a group playing a shorter round. The term "group" includes a single player.</span><br /></span>Blue Skies Plus LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15192452233013137768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963935455571605455.post-37053038183786481002009-04-29T08:00:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:00:07.148-07:00Etiquette of Golf ...

Safety<span style="font-family:arial;">Unlike many sports, golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they maybe. This is the spirit of the game of golf. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><strong>Safety</strong><br />Players should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a position to be hit by the club, the ball or any stones, pebbles, twigs or the like when they make a stroke or practice swing.<br /><br />Players should not play until the players in front are out of range.<br /><br />Players should always alert greenstaff nearby or ahead when they are about to make a stroke that might endanger them.<br /><br />If a player plays a ball in a direction where there is a danger of hitting someone, he should immediately shout a warning. The traditional word of warning in such situation is "fore".<br /><br /><a href="http://www.golftimeshop.com/">www.golftimeshop.com</a><br /><br /></span><br /></span>Blue Skies Plus LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15192452233013137768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963935455571605455.post-73420034390025891572009-04-27T16:58:00.000-07:002009-04-27T17:14:50.649-07:00Get Ready for Golf Season<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggR2czYmK3ME4w_e1pKW4vziTJMyabE8HN2rEkj-WLATxPx1E33vm0hFtER_eFc0uZPQ1J867fvUqOnt8qz8n92tn473xN5TyWgLoMcfZGsgz-1-vMwBNQ-4rZfKBjyqBnlNkHW-wx4sU/s1600-h/teetime_15319843.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329527735463771170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggR2czYmK3ME4w_e1pKW4vziTJMyabE8HN2rEkj-WLATxPx1E33vm0hFtER_eFc0uZPQ1J867fvUqOnt8qz8n92tn473xN5TyWgLoMcfZGsgz-1-vMwBNQ-4rZfKBjyqBnlNkHW-wx4sU/s200/teetime_15319843.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Get ready for Golf Season!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Get a Unique </span><a href="http://golftimeshop.mybisi.com/"><span style="font-family:arial;">ball marker </span></a><span style="font-family:arial;">for your next game OR put your </span><a href="http://allaboutgolf.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=2613164"><span style="font-family:arial;">Company logo </span></a><span style="font-family:arial;">to give away at a sponsored Tounament.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://www.golftimeshop.com/">www.golftimeshop.com</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div>Blue Skies Plus LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15192452233013137768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963935455571605455.post-51891100538885369042009-03-02T23:25:00.000-08:002009-03-02T23:29:11.166-08:00How to Nail your grip<strong>How to Nail Your Grip<br />All good shots start with the right kind of hold </strong><br /><strong></strong><br />Stand up straight with your arms resting naturally at your sides. Don't try to do anything — just stand. Notice how your left hand hangs. Some players' hands hang with the left palm facing straight back (like mine, pictured here). Other players' hands hang with the left palm facing the target, with everyone else somewhere in between. The point is that everyone's hands hang differently, and the grip that will work best for you is the one that doesn't disturb your natural hand position.<br />Before taking your grip, let your left arm hang and then place your left hand on the handle without changing its position. Make sure you wrap your fingers around the handle, not your palm. Now you're in position to make your most natural athletic swing.Blue Skies Plus LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15192452233013137768noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963935455571605455.post-48882440299390582672008-11-13T14:02:00.000-08:002008-11-13T14:09:40.481-08:00Top golf courses ...

The shorter the hole, the greater its desire.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">LAW 8</span></strong>: Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">LAW 9</span></strong>: Palm trees eat golf balls.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">LAW 10</span></strong>: Sand is alive.
