GRQOTW111: If a ball is on the green and on its Line of Play is an immovable obstruction, then the player is allowed free relief, even if this IO is off the green.The NPCR is at the nearest spot on an arc, and this could be off the green. Regardless of where this NPCR is, the ball is to be placed.Episode 112Blakey takes us through some interesting ruling from his recent time overseas in Muscat, Jeddah, Hong Kong and Macau, including a player that wanted to drop from shoulder height, and what is least intrusive when it comes to moving loose impediments.Stuart also had a recent tournament, where his main rulings were regarding TIOs and praying the balls didn’t move on the green.We also go through some clubland stories including what makes a putting green a putting green, why did we say there is no free relief from interference by a rabbit hole, and clarifying what the Rules say about playing two balls. GRQOTW 112: Andy the Average Golfer is playing an individual stroke round at Wombat Hills Golf Club. On the 5th hole, his ball is lying just on the front of the putting green for 4 and he has interference from temporary water on the green between his ball and the hole. He lifts his ball from the putting green without marking the spot nor without announcing to anyone what he is doing. He estimates his nearest point of complete relief, which is just off the green on the fringe. He changes the ball and drops a new ball near the NPCR which then rolls away from the hole, however it remains within 1 club length of the NPCR. He takes another 4 strokes to hole out - how many strokes has Andy the Average Golfer had on the 5th hole?

GRQOTW 1010: Barney the B Grade golfer hits his approach shot into a green side bunker on the short 15th hole of the very prestigious golf club at Wombat Hills. The ball is in the middle of a large collection of temporary water in the middle of the bunker. As the only relief area in the bunker would put the ball in a very difficult position on a slope, Barney decides to take BOL relief outside of the bunker. After making this decision, Barney walks into the bunker to retrieve his ball. In doing so, he creates footprints. Barney retrieves a rake and smooths the footprints, and then correctly drops his ball outside the bunker…but instead of using BOL relief, he has changed his mind and has now taken S&D relief, from a distance fairly close to where BOL relief would have put him. Before playing his shot, Barney notices that the raked footprints are in his line of play for the short shot over the bunker to the hole that was a mere 6 feet onto the front of the green. After playing his shot, how many total penalty strokes has Barney incurred? GOLFRULES QUESTIONS MERCHANDISE Get yourself a Roo&Coo polo: https://golfrulesquestions.myspreadshop.com/ .

GRQOTW108: Andy scored a 9 as he incurred a General Penalty for his caddie deliberately deflecting his golf ball in motion. As it was known that the ball would have gone into a penalty area, he wasn't required to proceed under Rule 11.2 if he was going to proceed under Rule 17.1d for an extra one stroke penalty, but there was no issue for him doing so, as he may have decided to play it as it lies.

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?

Firstly, we cover a few Clubland Stories: - Rhys would like to know what the match score is when no one heard his partner concede a putt. - DK wants to tell us about a player that made airswings at a wrong ball, and then had to proceed with the provisional ball, and whether their pro shop told him the right score. - DK also has another story about a player taking free relief from an animal footprint, which is not allowed unless there is a Local Rule. - Mr Roberts asks us about the apparent confliction of Rule 14.1 and 9.6. - Mr Roberts also tells us about a player accidentally moving their ball with a practice swing and whether that was a penalty.

GRQOTW 107 - After his tee shot, Andy the Average Golfer's ball is lying close to an irrigation box in the right rough on the 3rd hole at Wombat Hills. He is concerned he will have interference from the box so he simulates his swing and in doing so, causes his ball to move. He advises his marker that he moved his ball and he replaces the ball. He does have interference from the box, however he decides the shot is too risky so he doesn't take relief and he plays out sideways to the fairway. His next stroke lands on the putting green and he takes 3 putts to hole out - what is his hole score? . .

Podcast McPhee is back from his refereeing journey, and he fills us in on his Australian Open experience. We also delve into four Clubland Stories, including two from a now regular question-asker Mr Roberts as well as his close second, Colin - THE GRQ PODCAST EP105 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_GzvxPbX1UQBeFluD3OLQg/join SUBSCRIBE to GOLFRULES QUESTIONS https://bit.ly/2I8KrVH for all your golf rules GRQOTW104 - Whilst the ball that was found was unknown to be the original or the provisional ball, it was definitely one of them, and so the player must play that ball as the provisional ball. The ball that was found after three minutes is lost either way, and therefore can not be used at all. Firstly, we cover a few Clubland Stories:- Mr Roberts wants to know what happens when a struck ball doesn't make its way out of a Red Penalty Area. This comes under Rule 17.2.- Colin wants to know if he proceeded correctly when his ball was stuck up a tree. He dropped within two club-lengths of where the ball was, and this was under Rule 19.2.- Mr Roberts goes again with another tricky one and Blakey and Podcast disagree on what spray foam is deemed to be. But they do agree Mary was able to get some free relief.- Chip gives us a situation that is probably pretty common in Clubland, where a player tries to play a provisional ball for a ball that most likely went into a penalty area. GRQOTW 106 - Big P has hit his tee shot into the red penalty area running down the right side of the 14th hole. After two minutes of searching, he finds and identifies his ball. He makes a stroke at the ball and only advances it 3m. Frustrated, he makes another stroke at it from inside the PA moving it very little and makes another stroke. Very frustrated, he says he is returning to the teeing area to start the hole again.Despite some objections from others in the group, he returns to the teeing area, tees up a ball and makes a stroke, and finishes the hole. There are no players behind waiting to hit.How many penalty strokes must Big P add to his hole score? . .

Then Ross goes back and drops his ball, but needs to actually go back to the teeing area - where the ball was last played from. The fact that the original was then found, makes no difference as the original ball was lost after the three minute search time had elapsed. The Asian Tour held a Stage 1 Q School event at Mt Derrimut Golf & Community Club last week, of which Blakey was the Tournament Director. Podcast McPhee also assisted as a referee. Prior to the start of the players arriving, Jeff Ward - the chief referee, Doug O’Keeffe - assistance Tournament Director and Blakey set up the course for the tournament. Podcast took us through a situation where a player ‘cowboy-dropped’ his ball when putting a ball into play after his original ball had gone Out Of Bounds. Podcast was able to step in and assist the player in correcting their drop, and thus saving a certain penalty. Podcast also gave us a run-down on a few rulings he had at a recent DPWT qualifying school that was also held in Melbourne, or more specifically down at Rosebud Country Club. There was a situation with a cut ball, of which Podcast provided the player a ‘yes, you can replace your ball for free’ response. Then Blakey showed a picture he had received very recently, of a ball that had almost split in half, and the important word there is almost, as the ball was still attached and from all accounts still in one piece. Being in one piece just meant that the player could replace their ball on the spot where it had come to rest. Whereas had the ball split into pieces, even if just two pieces, the player must cancel the stroke, replace a ball on the previous spot and then play again. Finally, an absolute beauty of a ruling when a player hit his ball over the back of the green, or so he thought. He searched for three minutes before heading back to hit another ball. Just as he was chipping on for what could have been a five, his original ball was found in the hole, to which Podcast delivered the good news that he had made an eagle. His second ball did not count, as his hole was already over. GRQOTW101 In an individual stroke play event, Andy the Average Golfer hooks his tee shot left towards a red penalty area on the 3rd hole at Wombat Hills. His group searches for around 1 minute in the thick grass outside the PA and frustrated, Andy drops a ball using lateral relief from the red penalty area, even though it is not known or virtually certain to be in the PA. He is about to play his next stroke with the dropped ball, when someone else finds his original ball in the thick grass outside the PA, well within the 3 minutes of search time. Which ball must Andy play and are there any penalty strokes? . GOLFRULES QUESTIONS MERCHANDISE Get yourself a Roo&Coo polo: https://golfrulesquestions.myspreadshop.com/ .

Although a referee could go into further questioning to confirm the assumption. Stuart does incur the one stroke penalty for the stroke-and-distance. Stuart and Blakey got the gang back together and are joined by the very special guest, from The My Love of Golf Podcast - Rossco 'BMW' Flannigan to take a trip down memory lane.We cover all things GolfRules Questions podcast, how it got started, how cheap Blakey is, and how the Rules and the Rules knowedge of Stuart and Blakey have developed during that time. GRQOTW 100 Ross pushes his tee shot right into the rough. He playshis 2nd shot across the fairway into the left rough. He plays his 3rdshot to just short of the green. Upon reaching that ball short of thegreen, he realises it is not his ball and he has played a wrong ball.He returns to where he made his 3rd shot from to search and cannotfind his ball, although he does find another in the area, which he nowbelieves was the ball he hit for his 2nd shot. He returns to the right rough, where he made his 2nd shot from, to proceed under S&D for a lost ball. He drops correctly in the right rough using his bestestimate, when he finds his original ball which he hit from the teeingarea. Where must Ross make his next stroke from and what stroke will it be? .

YouTube Community Question Run-Down - THE GRQ PODCAST EP99 GRQOTW98 Answer: Sharon played from a wrong place that was also a serious breach, as they should have taken stroke-and-distance for their ball out of bounds. They failed to fix their mistake in time and therefore the only penalty for them is disqualification. Podcast and Marcela go through the last five Community Questions on YouTube. GRQOTW 99 During an individual stroke round, Stuart's ball lies in a greenside bunker on the 17th hole at Wombat Hills. He makes a stroke and the ball flies right over the green and into a red penalty area behind the hole. In frustration, he calls out, "what am I doing wrong?" Blakey standing nearby, says, "Mate, you need to take more sand during the shot." Stuart then rakes the bunker. After considering his penalty area relief options, Stuart decides to proceed under stroke and distance and drop in the same bunker that he just played from, which he does. Are there any penalty strokes to either player?

GOT A CLUBLAND STORY - Submit it here https://forms.gle/Jga9wNrnwUVFUQD98 GRQOTW 97 Unfortunately Stuart got some bad Rules advice, which meant that he incurred a one stroke penalty in stroke play and needed to replace his ball on the correct spot. Stuart would also incur a one stroke penalty in match play, but Blakey could choose to ignore this breach, since it was his bad advice that caused the Rules imbroglio in the first case. Stuart 'Podcast' McPhee hosts Episode 98 and has a special guest of Marcela Smith from Girlfriends Guide to Golf. They talk about what Marcela thinks is the four of the most misunderstood Rules in golf. Marcela also brings two Clubland stories to the table, and a GRQOTW. GRQOTW 98 - Sharon and Nina are playing in an individual stroke play tournament at Santaluz Golf Club, with two other competitors in their foursome. Sharon pulls her tee shot on the 8th hole and thinks she will find her ball in the bushes. After the other ladies tee off, Sharon starts looking for and finds her ball in about 90 seconds. Her ball is just beyond a white OB stake. Not wanting to go all the way back to the tee, Sharon assumes she can use the model local rule E-5 and drop a ball into the fairway for a two stroke penalty, which she does. The other ladies weren’t aware that Sharon’s ball was found out of bounds until Sharon casually mentioned it on the 9th tee (which is across a long street and a great distance from the 8th hole). At that time, the other ladies informed Sharon that if her ball was OB she would not be allowed to drop it into the fairway, as Model Local Rule E-5 was not in effect at that course. Since Sharon didn’t want to slow down the group behind her, she said she would take an 8 on the hole and move on. What’s the ruling?

GRQOTW 96 - Blakey and Stuart are playing in an individual stroke round at Wombat Hills. On the 9th hole, Stuart's ball becomes embedded in the putting green after his 2nd shot. Not knowing what to do, he asks Blakey, who jokingly tells him he must drop the ball within a one club length relief area on the putting green, no nearer the hole. Stuart does this. Blakey then notices Stuart's ball on the green away from the embedded spot and with no ball marker down. Blakey tells Stuart that he was only joking and that you cannot get embedded ball relief on the green. How must Stuart proceed and are there any penalty strokes to either player?
