Huntingdon Valley, PA - On a warm Friday afternoon at Huntingdon Valley Country Club on the 21st of August 2015, the Philadelphia Section PGA hosted the 9th Annual Jon. M Pritsch Cup Event . The Philadelphia Section PGA ended up winning the competition to take the Pritsch Cup, defeating the New Jersey Section PGA, 11 points to 7. The Jon M. Pritsch Cup is played to honor the memory of Jon M. Pritsch who tragically passed away in May of 1991 at the age of 17. Before his passing, Pritsch was recognized as one of the top junior golfers in the nation. To date the Jon M. Pritsch Memorial Fund has raised over $140,000 and given away over 100 scholarships to juniors looking to pursue a career in a golf related field. Throughout the day, the matches were back and forth. In the end, the Philadelphia Section PGA team came in with enough wins to triumph over the New Jersey Section PGA team. Congratulations to the juniors for their performance in representing the Philadelphia Section PGA

Rule 24-2. Immovable Obstructions What’s it all about? Rule 24-2 deals with how to determine if an immovable obstruction is interfering with you or your golf ball and how to take relief if interference is occurring. The Rules of Golf define an obstruction as “anything artificial, including the artificial surfaces and sides of roads and paths and manufactured ice, except: a. Objects defining out of bounds, such as walls, fences, stakes and railings; b. Any part of an immovable artificial object that is out of bounds; and c. Any construction declared by the Committee to be an integral part of the course. An obstruction is a movable obstruction if it may be moved without unreasonable effort, without unduly delaying play and without causing damage. Otherwise, it is an immovable obstruction. “ How does it work? The first part of Rule 24-2 explains exactly what constitutes interference from an immovable obstruction. Interference from an immovable obstruction occurs if your ball lies in or on the immovable obstruction or if the obstruction interferes with your stance or swing. Line of sight interference from an immovable obstruction in and of itself is not considered interference. You may not take relief from an immovable obstruction if anything other than the immovable obstruction makes the stroke clearly impracticable or interference would only occur through use of an unreasonable stroke or unnecessarily abnormal stance, swing, or direction of play
GET TO KNOW THE RULES OF GOLF
GET TO KNOW THE RULES OF GOLF
Know the Rules
To take relief from an immovable obstruction that is through the green or on a teeing ground, you find the nearest point of relief, and drop the ball within one club-length of that point, no closer to the hole without penalty. If the ball is on the putting green, the same procedure applies, however you place the ball rather than dropping it. If the ball is in a bunker, the same procedure is followed however the ball must remain in the bunker or under the penalty of one stroke take relief outside the bunker keeping the spot where the ball lay between the flag stick and the point where the ball is dropped with no limit to how far behind the bunker you go. If the ball is in a water hazard or lateral water hazard you may not take relief from an immovable obstruction. You can play the ball as it lies or take relief from the water hazard or lateral water hazard under Rule 26 (Water Hazards). Keep in mind that relief from an immovable obstruction is not mandatory. Rule 24-2 in Action: Mya and Bobby are playing a round of golf. Mya’s ball finds the fairway but a sprinkler head is interfering with her stance making her shot much more difficult to execute. Mya decides to take relief under Rule 24-2, finding her nearest point of relief no closer to the hole allowing her to take her stance without interference. Bobby’s ball ends up in the rough near a cart path. When Bobby attempts to take his stance his foot is on the cart path. When trying to determine his nearest point of relief he finds that it will take him under a nearby tree. Knowing that he does not have to take relief from the path he decides to play his shot with his foot on the cart path.
Why is Rule 24-2 Important? Rule 24-2 is important because taking relief from an immovable obstruction is a common occurrence during a round of golf. In the situation above knowing the Rules helped Bobby and Mya make decisions that will help their score. Knowing how to properly take relief when encountering an immovable obstruction, like a sprinkler head or cart path, is a must for following the Rules of Golf and improving pace of play.
Transform Your Golf Game Seminar
Blue Bell, PA — On August 10th 2015, after a tournament at Cedarbrook Country Club, the Junior Tour was excited to welcome Mr. Greg Liberto from My Mental Game Coach to conduct a short seminar to our junior golfers about positive thinking. Coach Liberto took the time to ask each of the juniors the 3 positives and negatives things that happened during their round. This questioning was done with gentle prompting leading up to the hypothesis that most of the juniors had more trouble remembering their good shots on the course verses their mess-ups. “What are 3 positive things you did today?” Coach followed up his questioning by asking a junior how he approached a tee shot. Did he visualize a soft fade, around the corner, into the middle of the fairway? Or did he see that bunker on the left he can duck-hook into? Did he think about that creek on the right he could shank it into? “Change your communication pattern, thought pattern…” The Philadelphia Junior Tour thoroughly enjoyed having Coach Liberto as a guest speaker and we are looking forward to more sessions with him in the future!
