NOTICE - CANCELLATION OF SOUTHERN PINES COUNTRY CLUB EVENT
The Golfweek Amateur Golf Tour event slated for 6/20 at Southern Pines Country Club has been canceled. For the second year in a row, their course administration has fouled up their calendar and given our date that was agreed upon up to another function.
If you have paid for this event, obviously you will receive a full refund. I will also mention this at both events prior to that date. Due to their late notification of the cancelation, no substitute venue will be used for June 20th. It will simply be an off day on the schedule.
Due to their lack of professionalism, we will not be considering their course for any later date this year. Sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment and thanks for your understanding.

2ND TIME A GOLFWEEK TOUR PLAYOFF CHARM
Southern Pines, NC
June 6, 2015
For the second week in a row Mike Charles of Piney Point, MD finished tied for 1st in the D Flight of a Golfweek Amateur Golf Tour tournament. Last week at Forest Oaks Country Club in Greensboro he lost the ensuing playoff to Durham's Tony Eaves. However, at Longleaf Golf Club he finished regulation play with the same score as Greensboro's Keith Thomas as both turned in 92s.
The outcome was different this time for Charles as he secured a win with a simple bogey on the 374 yard, par 4 10th hole.
"Although he won one last year, it was his first time on the victory stand in 2015", stated Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck. "He comes out just about every week and it was good to see him break through".
Raleigh's Matt Ellerman didn't have any playoff to worry about as he cruised to a 5 shot win in the A Flight with a 72. Both Fayetteville's Hollis Peery and Laurinburg's Robin Neverve were at 77.
Jonathon Cooper of Southern Pines took a narrow 1-stroke win over Will Staten of Fayetteville in the B Flight - 74 to 75, while Landon Wilkes of Apex was C Flight king with an 86 - 3 shots clear of both Fayetteville's Charles Krick and Brien Cozart of Fuquay-Varina.
In the Championship Flight, Zach Barrier of Greensboro made it two wins in as many weeks as his even par 71 was 6 shots better than Raleigh's Dennis Hering.

Rules Review
It has been suggested that there should be a series of Rules scenarios for you to solve. So begins a series of problems titled What's the Score?
Doc Miller has graciously agreed to allow me to share these with you that he has been sending since July 2009.
I will include one each week. You should try to determine the answer based upon your knowledge of the Rules when ever possible and then use your Rule book to confirm.
There will be no trick questions or hidden information.
======================================================

Questions from week #306
Replace or play as it lies?
1. Ball on the putting green, ball marker in place and a gust of wind moves the ball.
A. Replace. B. Ball must be played as it lies.
2. Your ball is on the putting green, the wind blows a Magnolia leaf which hits and moves your ball in play.
A. Replace. B. Ball must be played as it lies.
Penalty or no penalty?
1. Your ball is on the green when you address the ball, the ball moves but clearly, your putter head never touched it.
A. Penalty. B. No penalty.
2. Your ball is perched on a sloped section of the putting green. You approach the ball, take your stance and before you can set your putter down behind the ball, the ball moves, rolls down the hill nearly into the hole. You decide to putt the ball from this new position.
A. Penalty. B. No Penalty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answers
Replace or play as it lies?
1. B, played as it lies. Wind is not an outside agency (see Def: Outside Agency).
2. A, must replace the ball. A leaf is deemed an outside agency when it is propelled by the wind. Same would apply to any obstruction (cup, plastic bag, etc.) While wind, by itself, is not an outside agency, the ball moved as a result of being struck by an object which is an outside agency. It does not matter that wind propelled the leaf. See Decisions 18-1/6 and 18-1/7.
Penalty or no penalty?
1. A, penalty. Sorry, once you address the ball and it moves, unless the movement is directly attributable (known or virtually certain) to some outside influence, the player is deemed the cause. Rule 18-2b.
2. B. No penalty. As the player had not yet “addressed” the ball, he is not deemed to be the cause of the ball moving unless there were some direct evidence to suggest otherwise. Thus when he played the ball from this new, at rest position, he did so in accordance with the Rules.
Remember, with the Rules revision of 2012, a player has “addressed the ball” when he grounds his club immediately in front or immediately behind the ball. Whether he has or has not taken his stance is no longer associated with this definition.
Unless some inadvertent contact were made, when a ball is on the putting green, it would be most improbable to ever penalize a player for moving his ball as a result of him taking his stance. On the tour, players are occasionally penalized a stroke under R18-2a when taking their stance beneath trees or on pine straw. Frequently, sticks laying hidden beneath the straw can effect a ball when the player steps nearby.

===============================================================
Tour Weather Guidelines:
Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.
The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).
In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.
If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
