Day 21, April 29. Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes. This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step. Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings. -
Exactly correct. I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it. In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear. Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible. -
Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1 Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot. -
I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead. Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate. Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s). anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in. The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot. I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?" I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked. I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now. I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
