Rule of the Month: Making a Stroke

May 1, 2021

Topic Overview:

To help encourage prompt pace of play, the Rules now suggest making a stroke in no more than 40 seconds, and even quicker than that for most shots. In making a stroke, it must be free flowing, not anchored, and the ball must be struck with the head of the club. You may use a distance-measuring device to measure distance only, but it must not measure slope or other conditions that may assist you.

During a round, you must not ask for or give advice to anyone (except for your partner or caddie). You are also allowed to listen to music but should be considerate of other players on the course.

FAQs:

Can I anchor my putter to my body while making a stroke?May I play music?How long do I have to hit my shot?

 

The Inesis spikeless shoe is arguably one of the most comfortable pairs of golf kicks we’ve ever tested. In fact, the phrase, “walking on newborn kittens” is as apt a descriptor as any. (With apologies to cat lovers. No kittens were harmed in our testing.)

Additionally, it consistently ranks near or at the top of the “Best Value” category in Most Wanted testing.

With that said, we’d like to get some feedback from MyGolfSpy readers.

The Spectrum of NCGA Membership–Sacramento Chinese Women’s Golf Club

April 29, 2021

The Sacramento Chinese Golf Club was established in 1952 at the opening of the Bing Maloney Golf Course in Sacramento.  While the Sacramento Chinese GC was a Co-Ed club and women were actively engaged in the events and tournaments, the women decided they’d like to form their own autonomous club.  So, in 1989 they began the process of formalizing the club.  Initially, they had some problems having their club recognized, but with support from Ken Morton Sr. of Haggin Oaks GC, they received their charter and formed the Sacramento Chinese WGC.  Learn more about that here.

 

Ken continues to be an avid supporter of this club and still receives a special invitation to the Christmas luncheon each year.  The newly formed club joined the Pacific Women’s Golf Association, so members could play and compete with other women throughout the region. The Sacramento Chinese WGC members continue to rack up awards and recognition in Play Days and Tournaments.
