A message from Don...
Dear Members,
Following the resignation of Lloyd May and Club Secretary with effect from 1st January 2020, the committee has undertaken a selection process to find his replacement.
I can confirm that there was one applicant for the position and I am pleased to announce that Mark Davis will become the new Secretary next year.
I would like to thank Lloyd for his hard work and service as secretary and wish Mark all the best in the role.
Kind regards,
Don Metters
Elfordleigh Golf Club Chairman

A rules reminder from the referee
I recently became aware of a player standing on a "Wrong Green" to play his ball from the fringe of that green - the shot would have cost him a 2 shot penalty in Stroke Play or Loss of Hole in Match play.
Please see below or click here for full details.

Relief Must Be Taken from Wrong Green
Interference under this Rule exists when your ball is on a wrong green or a wrong green physically interferes with your area of intended stance or area of intended swing.
When there is interference by a wrong green, you must not play the ball as it lies. Instead, you must take free relief by dropping the original ball or another ball in the relief area as shown in Diagram 13.1f.
There is no relief under this Rule if interference exists only because you choose a club, type of stance or swing or direction of play that is clearly unreasonable under the circumstances. |
 | DIAGRAM 13.1f: FREE RELIEF FROM WRONG GREEN
When there is interference by a wrong green, free relief must be taken. The diagram assumes a right-handed player. Ball A lies on the wrong green, and the nearest point of complete relief for Ball A is at P1, which must be in the same area of the course where the original ball came to rest (in this case, the general area).
|
|
Reference Point: The nearest point of complete relief (P1).
Size of Relief Area: One club-length from the reference point.
Limits on Relief Area:
The relief area:
• Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
• Must be in the same area of the course as the reference point.
Player Notes: You must take complete relief from all interference by the wrong green.
Penalty for Playing Incorrectly Substituted Ball or Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Rule 13.1: General Penalty.
