Rule of the Month—Abnormal Conditions/Embedded Ball

Certain conditions are not treated as part of the challenge of playing the course, so free relief is provided as an option. This includes interference from temporary water, ground under repair, animal holes, and immovable artificial objects (such as carts paths and sprinkler heads). All of these things are collectively known as abnormal course conditions. You get free relief when the condition interferes with your lie, stance, or area of intended swing. When an abnormal course condition only interferes with your line of play, free relief is not provided.

To take free relief, you first have to find the nearest point of complete relief, which is the spot on the course nearest to where your ball lies, but not nearer the hole, where you could play your next stroke with no interference from the condition you’re taking relief from. Then drop a ball within one club-length of that point not nearer the hole.

WGANC Legacy Fifties-Sixties  | Valley of the Moon  | September 27-28, 2021

The WGANC Age Tournaments have had many names throughout the years.  Before 1953, it was called the Seniors & Grandmothers Tournament, but it was changed to the Seniors Tournament in 1953 (ages 50 and over).  In 1970 another age tournament was added, called Nifty-Fifties (50-59) and the Seniors Tournament was now 60 and over.  Due to the oversubscription of the Nifty-Fifties and the Seniors Tournament, more age groups were added in 1977:  Junior-Senior (ages 50-55), Mid-Seniors (ages 56-62), Seniors (ages 63 and over).

In 1983, a new age group was added – 49ers (ages 18-49)

In 1997, the Super Seniors Tournament was added (ages 72 and over)

In 2000, the age tournaments were reorganized again and the tournament for players 70 years old and up was named Swingin’ Seniors.

Finally in 2018, Sassy Sixties was renamed Fifties-Sixties, to include a larger age group.

2021 LPGA Women’s Golf: Back-to-Back On the Bay

The LPGA Tour will feature a back-to-back visit to the Bay Area in 2021.

Things will start off June 3-6 with the playing of the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open on The Lake Course at The Olympic Club. The championship will mark the first time a major women’s competition will be held on the elite layout.

The following week (June 10-13)  and just 4 miles away, Lake Merced Golf Club will host the annual LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship.

“Lake Merced is such a special place to me, both as the site of my first LPGA Tour win as a professional in 2014 and for my eagle in a playoff in 2018, which is definitely one of the highlights of my career,” said 15-time LPGA Tour winner Lydia Ko. “I always love going to San Francisco, and to add the opportunity to play a major at The Olympic Club is just amazing. Thank you to the USGA for bringing us to one of the most iconic venues in the country.”
