Juniper Chapman Winners Crowned!

Last Updated (Sunday, 18 May 2008 19:04)

The Juniper Chapman concluded play on another wonderful summer like day. The field of 148 players from across the state enjoyed great golf course conditions and a challenging course. Maybe not so much for Brian Trowbridge who dropped a wedge shot into the hole on #13 for his third ace! Congratulations to Brian!

Front runners Mark Wilson and Brian Winter closed the deal with a fine round of 69. Their 36 hole total of 135 bested the team of Corey Schmidt and Andrew Vijarro by three shots. Charlie King and Gary Meddaugh kept up their fine play to take the A Division Net title with a low low low score of 119.

The B Division winning team of Rick Gehrke and Buddy Peterman held off the Klein brothers by a six shot margin, 149 to 155. The team of Earl Kathan and Gary Winters played well on Sunday to sneak into the winning net slot at 124.

Eagle for Rago.

Chuck Rago. Hole #11. Three wood off the tee. Wedge into the hole. Yes folks, that is an eagle two. Congratulations to Chuck. You have had a pretty good year in golf for 2008. Now if you would just catch some fish!
Tom DeHart Captures KP with Ace!
George Owens' tee shot on #16 lipped out and disappeared behind the hole, 1/2 inch from an ace. Two groups later comes Tom DeHart. Tom knocks the ball in the hole and George's KP is gone. Congratulations to Tom DeHart for making his second hole-in-one. Tom's 4 iron shot from 178 yards on the 16th hole at Juniper was his second ace in 55 years of playing golf. His first was just last year. Nice shot George but it's just not the same as an ace. Congratulation to Tom DeHart!
After 38 years, An Ace for Lois Northrup!
Lois Northrup took advantage of her participation in the club championships by making her first hole-n-one in 38 years of playing golf. Lois knocked her 7 iron shot on #16 from 139 yards right into the hole. The roar was heard across the golf course and at the clubhouse. A diner asked, "What's going on out there?" Gosh this golf stuff is exciting.

One Ball Rule

     Several people have asked about having to play the same make of golf ball during a round of golf. The USGA rules allow you to use any ball on it's approved ball list whenever substitution is allowed (between holes, when ball is damaged, etc). Some events, like PGA Tour events, use what is called "The One Ball Rule". This rule does NOT apply unless the tournament committee imposes this one ball rule in it's local rules or conditions of the competition.

     In the back of the USGA Rule Book, in Appendix I, the USGA suggests and writes that during a stipulated round, the balls a player plays must be of the same brand and model as detailed by a single entry on the List of Conforming Golf Balls. (Here is the link to the List of Conforming Golf Balls. It changes occasionally.) That means if you play a PRO V1x for your first shot, you must play a PRO V1x for every shot of your stipulated round.

     This "One Ball Rule" is usually just used for competitions with advanced players but the committee could do it for any event. It must be listed in the local rules for the competition. Otherwise, if you start with a Titleist, you could switch to a Callaway, Nike or any ball of your choice when the rules allow you to substitute a ball (like between holes).
Change to Rule 12-2: Identifying Ball

Amended to allow a player to lift his ball for identification in a hazard (see corresponding change to Rule 15-3, removing the exemption from penalty for playing a wrong ball in a hazard).
