I would like to thank each and every volunteer handicap chairperson. The time and dedication that you put in to your duties helps to ensure fairness in the game of golf.

My son Ryan Mort played golf for South Medford H.S. competting against Vincent and graduating in 2005. We look forward to watch his progress as a PGA professional. Good Luck Vincent!

The benefits are good, but our local course members are complaining about the increase in OGA dues. Our members simply want a GHIN handicap. You should keep the membership dues below $25 per year.

Tony –
Thanks for your input. GHIN is simply a computation service offered exclusively through licensed golf associations to provide a USGA Handicap Index. It is just one of many tangible benefits and services offered along with membership in the Oregon Golf Association. Please visit http://www.oga.org/docs/OGA_Member_Benefits_Flyer.pdf for a comprehensive list detailing your benefits as a member of the OGA.

I am excited about all the OGA is offering this year. In a time when so many things seem to be imploding you are expanding, and only for $10 more a year. I am sure I can fine several foursomes from Newport that will come over to play the OGA Course.

Great to have added benefits—especially the round of golf.

The most common excuse I hear is “I only played 9 holes”. Our course has each nine rated.

Great post!! Information provided in the post is true and knowledge providing. Since long I was looking for such type of post.

I remember on TV when a PGA tournament was rain and wind delayed this year when the announcers discussed that a ball moved by the wind had to be replaced. The officials can’t get it right and TV commentators can’t get it right either.

Tony,

This was a tricky scenario - I have amended the post a bit to better address your comment.

Thanks you for your interest in the Rules of Golf - regards,

Craig

What if: after the penalty stroke, marking the ball on the green, and replacing it: it moved again, and again into the hazard??

Question; in ‘placing’ the ball after marking it; can you press it down a bit to help it not move again???

By Jim on 04/08/2009

I was above the hole on slick green. After marking it and replacing it, the ball moved, much closer to the hole. An official told me I had to replace it since I had marked, cleaned, replaced it; I could only leave if not marked. Incorrect?

Jim,

If you have not yet addressed the ball (stance &
grounding club) and the ball moves on its own, even after replacing it, the ball must be played at the new location. Pressing the ball into the green would be a two stroke penalty (Rule 13-2). Craig
