ClubLand Stories December, and what an absolute doozy to finish out the year 2024. Podcast and Blakey finally disagree on a Rules situation, so let us know who you think is right. We have nearly ten outstanding ClubLand stories/Rules questions, including two audio questions, one of which is the GRQOTW for episode 130 and it is a head-scratcher.
GRQOTW129:
Andy the Average Golfer incurs a General Penalty for all of the breaches.
GRQOTW130
Player hits her ball on a par 3 and it is Known or Virtually Certain to be in a Yellow Penalty Area.
The player decides to correctly drop a ball back-on-the-line for a penalty of one stroke.
The player then sees her original ball and decides to go and play that ball.
She hits her original ball sideways and it rolls back into the same Yellow Penalty Area at a new entry point.
The player goes back on the tee side of the Yellow Penalty Area and drops a ball back-on-the-line. She then hits this ball into the greenside bunker.
Then she hits her bunker shot across the green and back into the penalty area at the same crossing point as the original ball from the teeing area.
She goes to drop a ball under penalty of one stroke back-on-the-line but as her first dropped ball is in the same position she decides to play this instead.
Hits that on the green and takes one putt to finish.
What is her score?

In episode 129, Stuart chats with experienced Referee and rules expert John Thorman who is the author of the Rules Book, "Let's Get it Right".
John talks about his start in the game, what sparked his interest in the Rules of Golf and his Rules journey. John mentions some of his tips about being a good Referee.
Finally, John presents his own GRQOTW.The book 'Let's Get it Right' is available for free at https://issuu.com/dear_john/docs/dear_john_-_book_20162021?fr=sNDFkOTE5ODc3MTg
GRQOTW128:David has nothing to answer for. He has the ability to change his mind if the removal of the tree meant his ball didn't move. When choosing to take an unplayble, the player has the ability to get to their ball, and if in the process the ball is moved, there is no penalty.GRQOTW129:
Andy the Average Golfer is playing at Wombat Hills GC after an overnight rain.
His ball lies on wet compacted sand in a bunker on the first hole. Thinking “lift, rake and place” is an option under the circumstances, Andy lifts his ball, rakes the area fluffing the sand, replaces the ball on the original spot, and plays his ball successfully from the bunker. How many penalty strokes, if any, does Andy incur?GOLFRULES QUESTIONS MERCHANDISE

Episode 128 of the GolfRules Questions Podcast was all about Podcast and Blakey being on tour.
Podcast had some stories from the Australian Open, held at Kingston Heath, where there was a lot of talk about pace of play, and soft course conditions, whilst Blakey was over in Qatar with the Asian Tour, where the main rulings were what is considered abnormal in the desert.So whether you are eating an ice cream or taking the dog for a walk, enjoy listening to the golfrules questions podcast
ON TOUR - Blakey was in Qatar, and Stuart was in Melbourne. Sand aplenty in Doha, and plenty of rain in Melbourne, but just because it’s rough, doesn’t mean it’s abnormal - THE GRQ PODCAST EP128
GRQOTW 127 A - Jeff may require Stuart to lift Stuart’s ball if Jeff reasonably believes it might interfere with Jeff’s play.GRQPTW128 - David finds his tee shot in a terrible lie, with a large unattached tree branch right beside his ball. He says that he is going to take an unplayable, but then moves the tree branch and this causes his ball to move. Stuart didn’t like this procedure and wants David to add two penalty strokes to his score, one for causing his ball to move, and one for the unplayable. David is adamant that he was just moving the branch to get to his ball. But Stuart believes that had David moved the unattached tree branch and David’s ball had not moved, he would have played it as it lies. They call you in to decide, what is your decision?

The GolfRules Questions podcast, episode 125 had a special guest this week, with Elisa Hermes from the Maryland State Golf Association having a chat to Blakey about running tournaments, holding rules workshops, and the different mindset for Rules that you need for each. Elisa was also singing the praises of the wonderful volunteer referees, and just volunteers in general that make the tournaments come alive. It was fantastic to speak with Elisa, and we hope you enjoy episode 125.GRQOTW124:
True, the ball-marker may be moved by the player.
GRQOTW125:
True/False
A spectator removed a movable gallery-control rope without the player's authority that worsened the conditions affecting the stroke. The player may not reinstall the rope.

Clubland Stories is back with the October edition as Episode 124 of the GolfRules Questions podcast. DK has two questions, including assisting another player in his group with a two ball situation. David is wondering why his friend Tom was disqualified for continuing play after a normal suspension, Brian asks about MLR B-3, and the no-penalty myth makes its way to Waimate.
Thank you to all our contributors for submitting clubland stories.
GRQOTW123 Answer
Marvin was allowed to make a stroke at the moving ball, but taking three minutes to make that decision as the ball crept closer to the hole would be an unreasonable delay to play.
GRQOTW124 Question
T/F

Episode 123 of the GolfRules Questions podcast is all about the first stage Asian Tour Q School held last week at Mt Derrimut Golf Club where Stuart and Blakey were both a part of the Rules Committee. From setting up the course, to rabbit holes, and stone walls deemed integral objects. It was an adventurous week, as was the recording of this episode, during a long car ride home, you can actually hear Blakey pause to multi-task as he checked the rearview mirror. So please enjoy the audio-only episode, then like and subscribe, but more importantly, get in those clubland stories so we can bring them to life.GRQOTW122 Answer
As Andrea's provisional ball never became the ball in play, there was no penalty for accidentally causing it to move. Andrea was not allowed to declare her original ball lost, that is why it stayed as the ball in play when found within the three minute search time.
GRQOTW123 Question
Marvin hit his ball into a creek and then waited 3 minutes while the stream took his ball closer to the hole. Andy the Average Golfer wasn't very happy about this and so called in a referee to help them with the situation.

GRQOTW121 Answer:
Andy is lying five after hitting his ball that was Out Of Bounds. He has to go back to where he played his second shot from.
GRQOTW122 Question:
In a stroke play competition, Andrea hits her tee shot into a heavily-wooded area. She properly plays a provisional ball under Rule 18.3b and it comes to rest in the fairway. She searches for her original ball for one minute and declares it 'lost'. She walks over to her provisional ball and accidentally kicks it. She replaces it, but before she plays it and within 3 minutes of her starting searching, a spectator finds her original ball. She lifts the provisional ball and plays the original ball to the green. She takes two putts and tees off on the next hole.

Episode 121 of the GolfRules Questions podcast is back to the OG of Rules Questions - ClubLand Stories
Today’s episode features a greensomes question about using the partner’s club, whether strokes are given in a match play playoff, what is the area underneath a bridge, hitting a ball into the hole with your hand, and playing from a No Play Zone, we also have the GRQOTW for 121 that you can try wrap your head around.
GRQOTW120:Eight strokes. Andy the Average Golfer played a ball that was dropped under free relief (which wasn't available to him) and as he did not have intention to drop that ball as an unplayable (even though that is where he arrived at after finding out the free relief wasn't available), he has played from a wrong place. He was required to drop a ball with the intention for it to be an unplayable, not just play one that was dropped previously by him and in the correct relief area.GRQOTW121:
Andy the Average Golfer is playing a stroke round at Wombat Hills. On the 9th hole, he hits his 2nd shot way left towards the driving range.
Among all of the other golf balls, he finds his ball and plays his 3rd stroke towards the green. After 1 chip and 3 putts, he holes out.
As he is waiting at the back of the 9th green, waiting for others to finish the hole, a staff member walks down and advises Andy that the driving range is OOB.
Andy asks the staff member what that means. Neither know, so they approach you as a member of the Committee for assistance. What is Andy the Average Golfer's score for the 9th hole?GOLFRULES QUESTIONS MERCHANDISEGet yourself a Roo&Coo polo: https://golfrulesquestions.myspreadshop.com/.DO YOU HAVE A RULES OF GOLF QUESTION:Email - [email protected] TO TEST YOUR RULES OF GOLF KNOWLEDGE?Head to: www.golfrulesquestions.comWANT A QUICK GOLF RULES REFERENCEHead to Instagram: @golfrules_questions (https://www.instagram.com/golfrules_questions/?hl=en)OR JOIN THE FACEBOOK COMMUNITYhttps://www.facebook.com/golfrulesquestionsLISTEN TO THE GRQ PODCAST ON APPLE OR SPOTIFYClick here: https://anchor.fm/golfrules-questionsSUBSCRIBE to GOLFRULES QUESTIONS https://bit.ly/2I8KrVH for all your golf rules#GolfRules #GolfRulesQuestions #blakey

In episode 120, Stuart chats with Graeme Scott who has extensive experience in professional golf, including at the highest levels, refereeing at 15 majors and at tournaments all around the world.
Scotty regales many of his experiences with players at various tournaments, and talks about what it takes to be a good Referee.
Stuart then finishes the podcast with the latest GRQOTW.
GRQOTW120:
Andy the Average Golfer is playing a stroke round at Wombat Hills. On the 17th hole, Andy plays his tee shot way left and after a brief search, he finds his ball, however it is right next to stone carved Wombat statue, which the Committee has deemed an integral object.
The statue interferes with his area of intended swing, so after advising Danni the D Grade Golfer, his marker, that he will take free relief, he identifies the NPCR and drops another ball into a 1 club length relief area.
Stuart walks over and tells Andy that the statue is an integral object and there is no free relief, so he must correct the mistake. Accordingly, Andy properly identifies a two club length relief area from the original ball, which has not been moved, in order to take unplayable ball relief. He realises the dropped ball is within the unplayable ball relief area. He then plays the dropped ball which lands on the green. He takes three putts to hole out, and reports a score of 6 to Danni (5 strokes and 1 penalty stroke for the unplayable).
Before submitting his scorecard, Andy the Average Golfer asks you, as a member of the Committee, to confirm his score for the 17th hole. What is his score for the 17th hole? -
In episode 119, Stuart chats with former touring professional and now commentator and media personality, Mark Allen.
Mark answers some rapid fire questions about his playing career.
Mark has some funny and entertaining stories with the Rules, with Referees and provides his biggest tip to aspiring Referees on how to deal with players.GRQOTW118This situation comes down to whether Stuart's ball is lost or whether it is known or virtually certain that his ball was moved by an outside influence.From the sounds of it, when the question said " but knowing that he really doesn't know for sure that someone else took his ball" would suggest that there was no serious consideration to whether Stuart thought his ball was moved by an outside influence. It was them thinking it was just unfair and just put another ball into play.IF the Committee decided that it was KVC that Stuart's ball was moved by an outside influence, then he was permitted to replace a ball back on the estimated spot and resume play of the hole with no penalty. However, Rule 9.6 requires a ball to be replaced on the spot and not dropped. Stuart dropping the ball would incur the GP for playing from a wrong place.
Knew before the competition had closed that they were in breach of any other Rule with a penalty of disqualification, or Agreed with another player to ignore any Rule or penalty they knew applied.
Normally, a penalty must not be added or corrected after a stroke-play competition has closed. If Stuart did not know about the GP, he is not disqualified for the lower score as did not know about the penalty strokes before the competition closed. In this case, the competition results would stand.
IF the Committee decided there was NOT KVC for an outside influence moving the ball, then Stuart's ball was lost and his only option was to proceed under stroke and distance and return to the teeing area. He has put another into play in the middle of the fairway, however he has made a stroke from the wrong place and that would be considered a serious breach due to the significant advantage he would have gained. The SB needs to be corrected before making a stroke to begin the 10th hole, otherwise Stuart is DQed.
However, let's turn to Rule 20.2e(2) is Disqualifying Players After the Result of Competition Is Final. A player must be disqualified even after the competition is closed if they:The Committee would need to decide that Stuart knew that he couldn't just drop a ball in the middle of the fairway for a lost ball. Blakey's comments in the bar afterwards would also suggest that he knew that wasn't the correct procedure. They may ask the players to confirm their understanding of the Rule.
On this basis, The Committee would DQ both Stuart and Blakey. Jeff, who finished 3rd, would be awarded the Winter Cup.
You could also turn to Rule 1.3b - Applying the Rules. Players are responsible for applying the Rules to themselves.
If a player knows they have breached a Rule that involves a penalty and deliberately fails to apply the penalty, the player is disqualified. If two or more players agree to ignore any Rule or penalty they know applies and any of those players have started the round, they are disqualified.
If I was on the Committee, I would strongly push to DQ both Blakey and Stuart for failing to follow the correct procedure for Stuart's lost ball. GRQOTW119Blakey and Stuart are playing a match in the Koala Cup at Wombat Hills.
Blakey makes a putt on the 18th to win the match. Blakey and Stuart shake hands and Stuart says, "Congratulations!"As they stand beside the 18th green attending to their clubs, a spectator walks briskly from the Clubhouse and tells Stuart that Blakey forgot to replace his ball marker in the correct spot, after he moved it on the putting green. Blakey and Stuart cannot remember but they agree to play extra holes to determine the winner. Stuart wins the 20th hole.
What is the official result of the match and why? -
GUEST: Karen Lunn, current CEO of the WPGA Tour of Australasia, and former touring professional, chats about her playing days, and her view of the Rules, and referees - THE GRQ PODCAST EP118
In episode 118, Stuart chats with former touring professional, Karen Lunn, who is now the CEO of the WPGA Tour of Australasia.
Karen answers some rapid fire questions from Stuart about her playing career.
Karen talks about her experiences with the Rules, with Referees and provides her biggest tip to aspiring Referees on how to deal with players.
Stuart then finishes with the latest GRQOTW.GRQOTW117Andy is disqualified.GRQOTW118
Blakey and Stuart are playing in the Winter Cup at Wombat Hills, a prestigious one round stroke play competition.
On the 9th hole, Stuart hits his tee shot down the middle of the fairway. As they walk down the fairway, Stuart starts to get concerned that he cannot see his ball. In disbelief, Stuart starts to search for his ball however he cannot find it within 3 minutes. Stuart's marker, Blakey says, “that's not fair, you hit it down the middle. So just drop one here and keep playing.”
Relieved that Blakey was also in disbelief but knowing that he really doesn't know for sure that someone else took his ball, Stuart drops a ball in the middle of the fairway, adds no penalty strokes to his score, and makes par on the hole.
Stuart signs and submits his scorecard and later that afternoon, he is awarded the Winter Cup with a score of nett 70. Blakey came 2nd.
Discussing it later in the bar, Blakey says, “well done, you would have been hard done by if you had to go back to the tee on the 9th hole.” Jeff, sitting at the next table, overhears this and asks for more details. Jeff, who came 3rd, approaches the Committee about what happened on the 9th hole.

Andy the Average Golfer is playing a stroke play event at Wombat Hills. On the 12th hole, Andy hits his tee shot into the left rough. The group searches for 2 minutes and finds a ball in a bad lie. Andy identifies his ball and decides it is unplayable, so he drops it under Rule 19.2b, and plays it towards the putting green. When Andy arrives, he realises that it isn’t his ball, so he returns to the area to find his original ball and finds it within 30 seconds in a playable lie. Andy plays that ball towards the putting green and holes out in four more strokes. Before signing and submitting his scorecard, Andy asks you for help with his score on the 12th hole.

Caddie's action breaches a Rule that if the player had taken would have been a breach, so Blakey loses the hole because the caddie gave incorrect information about the score that Blakey had had.GRQOTW116:Danny the D Grade Golfer is playing a stroke round at Wombat Hills. Danny makes her 6th stroke from the putting green on the 1st hole, and the ball comes to rest only 5cms (2in) from the hole.
Thinking she is playing stableford and frustrated that she is going to score 0 points on the 1st hole, she turns her putter upside down and knocks the ball into the hole using the grip end of the putter.
Andy the Average Golfer reminds Danny that she is playing stroke and not stableford. With Andy's excellent rules knowledge assisting her, and knowing she has not made a legal stroke, Danni replaces her ball back 5cms from the hole and putts the ball in the hole correctly. She asks Andy to put an 8 for her hole score (7 talent strokes and 1 penalty stroke for causing her ball to move).
Before submitting her scorecard, she asks you if 8 is correct, as she is not sure about the penalty stroke - what is her hole score for the 1st hole?GOLFRULES QUESTIONS MERCHANDISEGet yourself a Roo&Coo polo: https://golfrulesquestions.myspreadshop.com/.DO YOU HAVE A RULES OF GOLF QUESTION:Email - [email protected] TO TEST YOUR RULES OF GOLF KNOWLEDGE?Head to: www.golfrulesquestions.comWANT A QUICK GOLF RULES REFERENCEHead to Instagram: @golfrules_questions (https://www.instagram.com/golfrules_questions/?hl=en)OR JOIN THE FACEBOOK COMMUNITYhttps://www.facebook.com/golfrulesquestionsLISTEN TO THE GRQ PODCAST ON APPLE OR SPOTIFYClick here: https://anchor.fm/golfrules-questionsSUBSCRIBE to GOLFRULES QUESTIONS https://bit.ly/2I8KrVH for all your golf rules#GolfRules #GolfRulesQuestions #blakey

His provisional ball became the ball in play, but then he made a stroke at a wrong ball, and didn't end up finding the original ball off the tee, so had to take S&D and go back to the teeing area. Six more shots from there.The GolfRules Questions Podcast is back, this is Episode 115, and ClubLand Stories are Back.We have so many ClubLand stories to catch up, and here is a quick summary so you know what will be coming at you.We look at two balls in motion colliding on the green, another one about a player hitting a provisional when they weren’t allowed, what would happen if a player used another player’s ball when that ball was still live, but it wouldn’t be considered a wrong ball, using a different ball when taking relief from GUR, messing with another player’s equipment, whether or not you have KVC for a ball in the middle of the fairway that most likely got picked up by a range picker, throwing a headcover down and whether that classifies as an alignment aid, what are your options when a divot is folded over a ball, taking shelter for 30 minutes out on the course, and whether this would mean you are disqualified after the competition has closed, does a net par beat a net par when the pars of the hole are different, and finally what constitutes lifting a marker so as not to incur a penalty of one stroke.This is big, and so many great questions, thank you to all that contributed, and to everyone who has contributed at least once the life of the podcast, but definitely a special mention to DK who leads on 14 clubland stories, Mr Roberts on 10, Colin on 9, and Twobob on 8.GRQOTW115:Blakey and Stuart are playing a match at Wombat Hills. Blakey has holed out for 5. Stuart, who has a putt for a 5, asks Andy the Average Golfer, who is Blakey's caddie, "Andy, what did Blakey have?" By mistake, Andy the Average Golfer states that Blakey has holed out in 4 strokes. As he thinks he has lost the hole, Stuart picks up his ball marker to head to the next tee. Before Stuart leaves the green, Blakey calls out, "Hey, I didn't concede that putt!" Stuart explains what Andy had said, when Blakey corrects his caddie that he actually had a 5 and tells Stuart. Stuart isn't sure of the Rules when the caddie states the hole score, so he requests a Ruling? What is the Ruling?GOLFRULES QUESTIONS MERCHANDISEGet yourself a Roo&Coo polo: https://golfrulesquestions.myspreadshop.com/.DO YOU HAVE A RULES OF GOLF QUESTION:Email - [email protected] TO TEST YOUR RULES OF GOLF KNOWLEDGE?Head to: www.golfrulesquestions.comWANT A QUICK GOLF RULES REFERENCEHead to Instagram: @golfrules_questions (https://www.instagram.com/golfrules_questions/?hl=en)OR JOIN THE FACEBOOK COMMUNITYhttps://www.facebook.com/golfrulesquestionsLISTEN TO THE GRQ PODCAST ON APPLE OR SPOTIFYClick here: https://anchor.fm/golfrules-questionsSUBSCRIBE to GOLFRULES QUESTIONS https://bit.ly/2I8KrVH for all your golf rules#GolfRules #GolfRulesQuestions #blakey
