Stories From the Tour, including rabbit holes, sprinker boxes, the three minute search time, and mounds of dirt. As well as a couple of ClubLand Stories and the GRQOTW - THE GRQ PODCAST EP108

You are listening to Ep 108 of the GolfRules Questions Podcast, and in this episode Podcast Man of the People McPhee talks about a lot of rules situations from the last few weeks on Tour. Including sprinkler boxes, an original and provisional ball in the same area, and rabbit holes. We also have a few clubland stories from the real people, and of course our golfrules question of the week to answer.

GRQOTW107:

Andy incurs no penalty for accidentally causing his ball to move whilst simulating the act of a stroke to determine whether he has interference.

Podcast 'Man of the People' McPhee takes us through a few of his latest refereeing jaunts, at WPS Cobram and WPS Rosebud, where the winner was one person - 22 year old Kazuma Kobori from New Zealand.

Topics spoken about:

- Dropping Zones

- Yellow Penalty Areas

- Sprinkler Boxes that is in the way

- Medical timeouts for wasp stings

- Playing two balls OR just figuring out what the actual Rule is.

ClubLand stories from Colin and Feather Duster:

- pretending to play left-handed to try get a better lie

- believing a accidental movement of the ball from a practice swing counts as a stroke

GRQOTW 108:

Playing in a stroke round at Wombat Hills, Andy the Average Golfer has a 12yr old caddie, as part of a school program.

He is playing the driveable par 4 5th hole, and he plays his 2nd shot to the green however it goes too far and over the green towards a red penalty area. As Andy arrives behind the green, he finds his caddie, who had walked ahead, standing there near the red line, laughing with some of his friends.

Andy the Average Golfer enquires about his ball and discovers that his caddie had deliberately kicked his ball as it was approaching the penalty area, which kept it out.

Andy estimates the spot where the ball would have come to rest in the penalty area, based on a brief conversation with his caddie and friends. He drops a ball inside the PA based on that estimation. He then decides to take penalty area relief and drops his ball again outside the PA. Andy holes out in four more strokes.

What is Andy the Average Golfer's score for the hole?
