LONG PUTTER RULE
Nearly six months after proposing a change to the Rules of Golf, the sport’s governing bodies announced that anchoring the club in making a stroke will be banned effective Jan. 1, 2016.
New Rule 14-1b means that players who use a belly putter or long putter will no longer be able to hold the butt end of the club against their bodies while making a stroke, although the clubs will still be allowed — provided they are not anchored.
GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK
Alignment is easily the most often made mistake in golf. Please know that just because you think that you are aimed correctly does not mean that you are!! Actually put a club down at your toe line and then step back about 10 feet behind your ball and club and see if you are aimed at the target like you thought you were. I guarantee we are usually NOT on target…but we’d swear we were.
GOLF JOKE of the WEEK
From Dan Kitowski over at Patricia Island Golf Club Pro Shop
A husband reluctantly agreed to play in the couples’ alternate shot Tournament at his club.
He teed off on the first hole, a par four, and blistered a drive 300 yards down the middle of the fairway. Upon reaching the ball, the husband said to his wife, “Just hit it toward the green, anywhere around there will be fine.”
The wife proceeded to shank the ball deep into the woods. Undaunted, the husband said “That’s OK, Sweetheart” and spent the full five minutes looking for the ball. He found it just in time, but in a horrible position. He played the shot of his life to get the ball within two feet of the hole. He told
his wife to knock the ball in. His wife then proceeded to knock the ball off the green and into a bunker.
Still maintaining composure, the husband summoned all of his skill and holed the shot from the bunker.
He took the ball out of the hole and while walking off the green, put his arm around his wife and calmly said, “Honey, that was a bogey five and that’s OK, but I think we can do better on the next hole”.
To which she replied, “Listen Mister, don’t holler at me, Only 2 of those 5 shots were mine.”
KEEP IT IN THE MIDDLE !
