A Plea to Everyone Viewing This Site
Although we no longer have an active
contacts page on this website, please
regularly check the list of contacts I have
emailed team Captains and club Secretaries
very carefully for content and accuracy and
let me know if there are any additions or
deletions you want me to make. I would like
to keep contacts as accurate and up-to-date
as possible.
AMERICAN FOURSOMES
In American
Foursomes, on every hole both players tee
off. Each player then plays a second shot
with their partner's ball (please note that
this includes all par 3s, meaning that if
both tee shots are on the green, you get two
birdie attempts, if needed). After 2 shots
each, you then choose which ball you want to
carry on the rest of the hole with and pick
the other ball up. Then, just like in
greensomes, you alternate playing this ball
until it is holed out. Therefore, just to be
clear, the person who plays the third shot,
should be using the ball they originally
teed off with. As a footnote, you don't both
have to play a second shot (for example, if
one of the tee shots is out of bounds, lost
or unplayable).
AMATEUR
STATUS
We should not allow players, awaiting
amateur status after being a professional,
to play until their amateur status has been
returned. They would not be allowed to play
in any competitions outside of their club,
and certainly not for the County.
Amateur Status of Club Team members
Restrictions on commercial
identification on clothing or equipment
The Rules do not place any restrictions on
the number or size of commercial logos that
amateur golfers may have on their clothing
or equipment. But organizers of competitions
where the players competing are likely to be
commercially sponsored may wish to place
restrictions on the commercial
identification allowed on clothing and
equipment.
For example, competition organizers could
limit the size and location of commercial
logos that are displayed on amateur golfers’
clothing or equipment (or caddies’ clothing
or equipment) or they could stipulate that
players and their caddies must not promote
or advertise within certain categories of
businesses(The R & A - Appendix VI)
