Dear R.B.C.C. Members and friends,

Captain's Chirp . . . Keep good records
After a low-scoring round, burn the details into your memory, or even write them down. What did your swing feel like that day? What mental process allowed you to be “in the zone”? Remind yourself of these keys before your next big round.

From the R.B.C.C. Rule Book :-

Ball Fails to Come to Rest on Spot
If a ball when placed fails to come to rest on the spot on which it was placed, there is no penalty and the ball must be replaced. If it still fails to come to rest on that spot:
(i) except in a hazard, it must be placed at the nearest spot where it can be placed at rest that is not nearer the hole and not in a hazard;
(ii) in a hazard, it must be placed in the hazard at the nearest spot where it can be placed at rest that is not nearer the hole.

If a ball when placed comes to rest on the spot on which it is placed, and it subsequently moves, there is no penalty and the ball must be played as it lies, unless the provisions of any other Rule apply.


Thank you. . .
My sincere thanks to our members, businesses and friends, who have showed their generosity to our club and to all sponsors who continue to support the RBCC – thank you.

Trusting you have a great golfing week.

Kind regards
