Very good comments here and some very good scenarios for sure!
L,C and P does and should be used for NET Amateur golfers, most are there for the fun of the tourney and many are lacking a good knowledge of the rules and unless you are actually standing there to provide guidance then some very questionable decisions are made on the part of the player.
This happened last year with the sand fiasco, on a few occasions. I played with folks who took relief in a bunker where I knew it was not allowed! Fried egg being one and close to the lip being another. In several occasions I questioned the players and there was a common theme, anything goes, we have a license to kill in a bunker.
When asking others players in the group there was the same common theme for the most part, in a bunker, smooth it. move it and you have one club length! I also know last year was the exception playing in 3 threesomes so getting a consensus among us we’re starting off 1 for, one against, and one who usually took the stance, well they said abnormal and it was abnormal…
To me over 4 days that just showed how folks took full advantage of the situation!
Myself, here is what I personally believe for L,C and P in an Amateur Tournament:
-No L,C and P for all the Gross Divisions or for Friday’s Championship Round.
-When L,C and P is instituted for the day, you must mark your ball, use the scorecard (SHORT WAY ONLY) clean it and replace it, excluding going from the apron of the green to the green itself.
-DIVOTS, a personal pet peeve of mine! We all play on public courses and make divots, most of us repair or fill them in, too many A-hol*es don’t, especially when wedging it from an area they can’t bring the cart! They bring the clubs to make a shot, not the sand bottle! I just believe that a scorecard relief is warranted every day, the short side of the card, again, except Gross Divisions and the Championship round.Just like the comments here, there is a lot of passion to get it right, but not everyone agrees on how it should be done.
I think all of us agree that looking back at past scenarios and events that have transpired we all want to provide the best tools possible to all the flights to make a great Amateur Tourney even better!
Can’t wait until August… keep smiling folks, we can do it!

Ed GuertinParticipantI went on a golf trip with him and his wife Betty a few years back to Scotland, great guy! My condolences to Betty and the family….
Ed GuertinParticipantLee, Yes, I wear my full zip all the time and love it!
Just info for Scott and the purchasing committee, last year the SPF 50 hat was great! us “mature” golfers are dealing top of the head hair loss so any and all protection from skin cancer up there is important!
Sadly this years hat was not a SPF 50 cap to protect us…
Ed GuertinParticipantActually I had a funny experience with this. I have American Flag headcovers on my driver, 3 hybrids, my putter and my golf bag. I had a gentleman during a round say to me “You must be a Trump fan with all those flags?”. I said “Yes I am and I’m sorry if those offend you”. He told me that he was not offended and liked both the flags and Trump. We laughed about it. I am glad that our President is synonymous with the American Flag…
Great tourney, great time and great people! We all should work toward keeping it that way and respect each other…Ed GuertinParticipantBob, Having the whole group report to turn the cards in may violate the social distancing guidelines of staying 6′ apart? Just thinking out loud here that if there are groups starting on 1 and 10 that would be 6 folks in the clubhouse at the same time, times 6′ = 36′?
Ed GuertinParticipantHarry, now do the same on a Par 3 when no one is on the green to observe exactly what happened…
Or, a shot from the fairway…- This reply was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by Ed Guertin.
Ed GuertinParticipantPool Noodles, although they serve the purpose they create heated discussions on what has been holed and what is not holed. Up here in New England there are used in a majority of courses and the depths vary from course to course as they are not cut all the same. I have been privy to those discussions as to what is “holed” and what was “spit out” off the noodle that would have and should have went in. There is no doubt in my mind this will rear it’s ugly head during the tournament. Just sayin…

Ed GuertinParticipantDave, I did see that you mentioned that in a previous post i was following but it disappeared. could you repost the link that was there so I can read it again? Thanks!
Ed GuertinParticipantWondering how close it will get to the year I was born, 1954?

Ed GuertinParticipantTommy Briggs, you are correct. They responded and said no to the PGA Superstore.
Ed GuertinParticipantI wrote an email to ask if a $150 gift card to the PGA Superstore can be added seeing how they partner with them?
Ed GuertinParticipantI know things will change between now and the tourney and with the courses in S.C. allowing 2 players in a cart, that is good.
Me, I always catch 2 courses in N.C. on my draw. Hope they allow 2 players when the time comes, I enjoy riding with others, part of the comradery.Ed GuertinParticipantBrian, very interesting question. I believe that they are back to 2 folks in a cart right now though I maybe wrong? But, with 2 flights per course I don’t know if the courses would have enough carts? It is one person a cart here right now and the last course I played, I walked but they did run out of carts for the number of people who wanted to play. Oh, the whiners came out in full force over that, a tee time and no cart available!
