My name is Reggie Nolido a.k.a the duffer, and this blog is all about my love affair with Golf. While I am not very good I do enjoy the game. I will be writing about anything and everything in relation to golf that amuses, inspires, frustrates and challenges me. Join me better understand this wonderful sport. I too have decided to write on other sports of interest. Hope you all enjoy that too.

FORE!
I heard this from someone back in the day when the old Fort Bonifacio Golf course was still in existence…. “The game of Golf is a game of opposites.”
……This is the game that we love yet it constantly gives us heartaches everytime we score over a hundred, miss a short putt, or OB a tee shot.
……You face right whenever you want your ball to go left.
……You hold your driver lightly if you want your drive to go long.
…….The higher the number of the club, the shorter the distance the ball will fly.
….and so on.
Good luck on this blog. I wish you well.
And as for your game, I wish you more birdies and eagles.
Salamat Vic. May your game flourish with eagles and birdies as well.
2 identical balls go in the same hole for holes in one on the same tee shots by different players. Both unmarked. What’s the ruling.
Madmike, thanks for the comment. If both balls end up in the hole then both can record a hole in one. Under the rules, a hole is played from the teeing ground into the hole. When both hole out then there is no need to identify as both are deemed to have finished the hole with one
What is interesting is what if both players play the same ball and tee off into the fairway ending up just inches apart. Both cannot identify their balls. In that case, both are considered lost and they incur stroke and distance penalties.
What happens if one scores a hole in one and the other ends up at the edge of the hole and neither can identify his ball? Then both balls are also considered lost and they both incur stroke and distance penalties.
I wish I could say i researched these responses all by myself. I actually got confirmation from http://www.barryrhodes.com who is an expert in the rules. You can check him out too.
thanks.
