| POST scores THROUGH NOVEMBER | October 20, 2018 |
 Just a reminder that our score posting season runs through the end of November and starts up again on March 15th.
I hope we are all thinking there are a few weeks of Indian Summer left to come.

| RULES CHANGE - no more penalty for a double hit |
 Under Rule 10.1a, if the player’s club accidentally hits the ball more than once during a single stroke, there will be no penalty and the ball will be played as it lies.
Reasons for Change: Where a double hit occurs as part of a single stroke and was not the intention of the player, it was felt unfair and unnecessary for the player to be penalized. Just as there is no penalty if a player’s ball accidentally deflects off his or her body, equipment or caddie, there is no need for a penalty when a player accidentally strikes his or her own ball in making a stroke.
