We tackle some serious listener questions and one is a real "ding dong" |THE GRQ PODCAST EP28

Episode 28 Show Notes

Is Mrs Blake " Blakeing the Rules" or is Blakey confused by his mum

The GolfRules Question of the Week Episode 27 was an absolute doozy that caught many by surprise.

When a player hits their original ball beside another ball in the general area, and they can’t tell which one is which, then they have a lost ball on their hands. However, when the ball is known or virtually certain to have gone into a movable obstruction, such as a player’s golf bag. Then the player can proceed under Rule 15.2b for no penalty.

Listener Question #1
Webbo (Andrew Webster) from the UK,  hit us up with a listener question a month ago, and must have had a crystal ball in his possession. He was asking about embedded balls, and lo-and-behold, we covered it last week after Reed-Gate#423.
Yes, a ball can be embedded on the bounce, BUT only if you have reasonable evidence that it happened that way.
No you are not permitted to take free relief for a ball embedded in sand in the rough, but Rossco and Blakey haven’t quite figured out what the cleanest definition of sand is. We think it’s where no plants/grass is growing.

Listener Question #2

The mum of podcaster GolfRules Questions hits the wave-lengths with a very tricky situation.
Two players get to their balls on the green of the 9th hole and realise that the balls they have found on the 9th are although the balls they hit off the tee of the 9th hole, are not the balls that they started the 8th hole with. The pair of ladies then declares they are taking a penalty and go back to the tee, thinking that is the way to resolve it. Blakey explains many different scenarios, trying to make assumptions to get to many answers.

Background Bingo
The patronage of background bingo enthusiasts is up 300% since the solo Mr Andrew Millar was dominating. Last week's courses were Carne Golf Club, Belmullet Co Mayo  and Clearwater Golf Club, New Zealand. This week both Rossco and Blakey have ventured to the Northern Hemisphere, can you guess where their backgrounds are?
GolfRules Question of the Week - Episode 28
When two balls are an equal distance from the flagstick, are you and your opponent permitted to use paper-rock-scissors as a legitimate way to determine who will play first?
