Juniper Chapman - Day One in the Books!

Last Updated (Friday, May 23, 2008 02:34pm)

The first day of the Juniper Chapman was played under sunny skies and the scores matched the temperature, HOT! Mark Wilson and Brian Winter shot a great round of 66 to take a one shot lead over the teams of Craig Falco -Rick Margeson and Mark Matthews-Brian Trowbridge. The A Division low net team was Charlie King-Gary Meddaugh, who put a string of six 3's on their card for a net 58!

In the B Division,the Klein brothers, Darren & Dwayne, shot a nice round of 76 to grab a one shot lead on the Rick Gehrke-Buddy Peterman team. The Klien's 76 translated into a net 63 which was tied by the team of Larry Larkin-Greg Shipley. Lots of good scores under hot sunny conditions.

Teams are re-paired for Sunday's round with the B leaders teeing off at 10:39. The A Division leaders will go at 1:12. A complete listing of Sunday's times can be seen by clicking the link to the right. (Chapman Sunday Tee Times)

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.
Bruce Sundseth Announces Hole-In-One!
Bruce Sundseth said he hit it in the head but the 9 iron shot went right into the hole on #3 for his third lifetime ace. Bruce has been playing golf for 35 years and said he's now one ace ahead of son, Tim. The 9 iron shot was holed from 146 yards. Curt Peterson contests the "in the head" remark. Curt said, "It was a beautiful shot." Congratulations to Bruce!

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).
