Firstly, we cover a few Clubland Stories: - Rhys would like to know what the match score is when no one heard his partner concede a putt. - DK wants to tell us about a player that made airswings at a wrong ball, and then had to proceed with the provisional ball, and whether their pro shop told him the right score. - DK also has another story about a player taking free relief from an animal footprint, which is not allowed unless there is a Local Rule. - Mr Roberts asks us about the apparent confliction of Rule 14.1 and 9.6. - Mr Roberts also tells us about a player accidentally moving their ball with a practice swing and whether that was a penalty. Blakey and Podcast then discuss their time at The Heritage Classic, a 200k tournament on the PGA Tour of Australasia. - Stuart explains when the search starts. - We had a ball moved during a search in a penalty area - One player dropped their marker on their ball just before putting - A player hit their ball less than a metre, and only just found their ball within the 3-minute time limit - Trying to distinguish where the edge of the gravel path is. GRQOTW 107 - After his tee shot, Andy the Average Golfer's ball is lying close to an irrigation box in the right rough on the 3rd hole at Wombat Hills. He is concerned he will have interference from the box so he simulates his swing and in doing so, causes his ball to move. He advises his marker that he moved his ball and he replaces the ball. He does have interference from the box, however he decides the shot is too risky so he doesn't take relief and he plays out sideways to the fairway. His next stroke lands on the putting green and he takes 3 putts to hole out - what is his hole score? . .
