Golf Club From the Rules Chair, Bill Swinney: Did you Know? Practice Swing Penalty: Should your ball accidentally fall off the tee when preparing to hit a tee shot there is no penalty (rule 6.2b). Also, should you accidentally make contact with your ball while making a practice putt (or any other unintended contact) while the ball is on the green, there is no penalty (rule 13.1d). You simply replace the ball to its previous position. However, should you make contact with your ball during a practice swing anywhere else on the course including bunkers and penalty areas, you still have not made a stroke but you will be assessed a one stroke penalty for causing your ball to move while in play (rule 9.4). e ball is moved back to its original position.

Flags were posted by the Angels for the Labor Day celebration on all the streets, and they are scheduled to be posted for Patriots Day (Sept. 11) for Four Seasons and World Cup only. If you see the Flag Angel pin/hat (at right), you should know that a Flag Angel is wearing it; be sure to thank them for their tireless work! Two Flag Angels, Maggie and Ed Coleman, have had to hang up their wings. ey have been terrific Flag Angels for a long time. ank you, Ed and Maggie. Hank Schultz, a Flag Angel substitute, has stepped forward and volunteered to fill the gap. Hank has been posting flags for quite some time as a substitute. Ginny Cole-Weaver is back on her route aer she was unable to post flags for quite a while. Welcome back Ginny! Missed you! As you can see from the above, I can always use additional volunteers to serve as backups to the Flag Angels.
