Playing Through, a monthly message from Queens of the Greens
STARTING TIME JANUARY 2012
First, we must wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Now that the NBA is playing again and we are well into the Bowl Championship Series, we know that the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl are around the corner. I love this time of year as it means we get to start fresh with all new expectations for a great year.
There is more good news from the USGA as they have made some rules revisions that, in additon to reducing the penalty for being late (within 5 minutes) of your starting time, has dealt with one of the most aggregious type of penalty: the ball moving by an outside agency (like the wind). Having fallen victim to this penalty, I can rejoice at this change. It is like the slate is wiped clean and we get to start over.
There are two documents in the Things to Know section that everyone should download and review to be up to date. They are short and can be read while tivoing through the Super Bowl to the next set of commercials. Just to save you time looking for them here are links to 2012 Rules Changes, and Decision Update to 2012 Rules. Naturally there is additional information available at the USGA website, which I have provided another convenient link to here 2012 Rules of Golf. See, it is that easy to be informed.
While you are downloading the rules, our 2012 schedule is also right here 2012 Schedule, so you can download that. Put our dates in your calendar and share with all your friends.
So, here's to ringing in a new year (as if I haven't already had enough to drink over the holidays)! I just think these new rules and a new start are worth a toast. Cheers!
