Rules Changes
A golfer may
now use any means to remove loose impediments from his/her line
of putt, provided nothing is pressed down. In addition, there
is no longer an automatic penalty in either match play or stroke
play if a ball off the putting green moves after a loose
impediment within a club length of the ball has been removed.
These are two of the amendments to the Rules
of Golf that have been agreed upon by the Royal and Ancient Golf
Club of St. Andrews and the United States Golf Association.
They go into effect Jan. 1, 2004.
A summary of the rules changes for 2004 are available from the
USGA at

Golf Etiquette
Take care of your course, repair ball marks.
Ball marks, those indentations caused when a
ball lands sharply on a soft green, have been ruining good putts
since the days of Old Tom Morris. Unrepaired ball marks
take two to three weeks to properly heal, leaving an unsightly
and uneven putting surface. A repaired ball mark heals in
half the time.
While Eagle Creek Country Club is a private club, a
limited number of public tee times are being made available on
weekdays. For information on availability, call the pro shop
at 859-428-1772.
