Limekiln

 

Game Five of the 1999 season was played  by most people at Limekiln on June 19th. Honorable mention of the day must go to Steve Margetich, who recorded his best-ever score of 88 that day.

 

 

The Course

Limekiln was in good condition (as it usually is in June) and although the greens were a little on the slow side, putting was generally fair on them.

 

The Matches

Herman Ellzy’s 81 enabled him to take 2.5 points from Ron Jones (85) and Dick Blystone’s 85 took all three from Mike Cwiertniewicz (114). Roy Craig’s 95 took 3 from Stephen Flynn (108). Bob Welc (98) was given three points as Steve Ellzy forfeited.

 

Grant Blair (97) and Roman Hrycusko (91) shared their points; Max McHenry (96) took 2.5 from Mike Brychy (117). Steve Margetich (88) took 2 from Doug Perks, who also shot an 88. Kevin Stevenson’s 99 took 2.5 from Dan Stevens (110).

 

In the A flight, Dick tallied 21 par/birdie points and in the B’s, Steve Margetich had an incredible 34.

 

As far as putting went, Dick strolled off the last green with 28 for the round, while Grant escaped with 30.

 

Dick managed two birdies, while Herman, Stephen and Ron managed one each. Doug had seven natural par points and Steve managed 6.

Rule Reminders

 

If a ball is either lost or deemed unplayable in a water hazard, a one-stroke penalty applies. For example, if your tee shot lands in a pond, you can drop a ball on the teeward side of the pond and your next stroke will be your third.

 

If a ball is struck out of bounds (or can be reasonably assumed to be lost out of bounds or lost in thick rough), you have two options:

 

1)      Stroke and distance. Let’s say you lost your tee shot. You could play another  ball from the tee and count that as your THIRD stroke.

 

2)      Two-stroke penalty. Drop another ball in a playable position as near as possible to the spot where the original either crossed the out-of-bounds boundary or is suspected to be buried in the rough.
