=============================================================== Senior Amateur Golf Central Carolina Tour Once again, we've got a great line-up of premium courses scheduled and look forward to another year of fun competition with these top-draw venues. We'll kick the season off with our annual visit to The Legacy Golf Links in Aberdeen on Saturday, January 31. This is a pre-season event to which I invite both the Golfweek and Senior Tours. Because of that mix, no points will be awarded, but the prize pool is generally one of the largest of the season. 
Legacy Golf Course: 2015 Pre-Season #1 January 31 Historically this event sells out, so if you have interest in playing, I'm taking entries now for roster spots. Just email me or call me to let me know if you want to play. If you can't make that event, or if you want to wait a few weeks for "warmer" temperatures, a second pre-season event will be held at The Golf Club at Longleaf on Saturday, February 28. This event also has a history of filling up, so one again, give me an early "heads-up" if you want to play at Longleaf.
Longleaf Country Club: 2015 Pre-Season #2 February 28, The regular season will start March 5 at Bermuda Run. Points, prizes, and your Tour "goodies" that you purchased with your membership will be distributed at that event. Early season events always produce a good field and this year should be no exception.
REMINDER - YOUR NEW NAME
The Triad and Raleigh/Pinehurst Senior Amateur Golf Tours for 2015 has a new Tour name and some new courses this coming year. As all Tour "veterans" are aware, in the past the Triad and Raleigh/Pinehurst Tour schedules have been identical. Beginning on the 2015 schedule, the two tours will be merged to form a newly named Tour: The Central Carolina Tour. By taking this step we will avoid any confusion as to where you may have finished overall in a certain event because all competitors will be listed together for each tournament on the website. While this will result in having only one Points Standings listing, the prize pool and everything else will remain the same. Sign-up for the 2015 season is only $90.00. We look forward to another very successful year with excellent courses (many of them private) and first rate competition. As always,to register and to sign-up to play or if you have any questions, or need any assistance, please call me at 336-495-6556, or email me at behgolf@aol.com.

"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold" 
Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them! Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind! Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly. It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons) It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!). It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!

=============================================================== Rules Review It has been suggested that there should be a series of Rules scenarios for you to solve. So begins a series of problems titled What's the Score? Doc Miller has graciously agreed to allow me to share these with you that he has been sending since July 2009. I will include one each week. You should try to determine the answer based upon your knowledge of the Rules when ever possible and then use your Rule book to confirm. There will be no trick questions or hidden information.
If you do not have a Rules of Golf book handy, go to: usga.org/Rule-Books and-Decisions =============================================================== |
What’s the Score? #270
In a stroke play event, Dave is about to tee off on the fifth hole when a distant beverage cart rounds the corner of the dogleg. The beverage cart driver sees the group on the tee and comes to a halt. Dave proceeds to hit his teed ball it first strikes the cart path, then the beverage cart and is found out of bounds.
How should Dave proceed?
A. Dave should cancel and replay his tee ball. There is no penalty.
B. Dave should drop a ball at the spot where it struck the beverage cart without penalty. If he then has interference with the cart path, he may take relief as prescribed in R24-2.
C. Under penalty of one stroke, Dave can drop a ball within two club-lengths of where it last crossed the course boundary.
D. Dave has no choice but to return to the tee and play a ball under Stroke and Distance (R27-1).
Answer:
D. The beverage cart is an outside agency. In both match and stroke play, if your ball in motion is deflected or stopped by an outside agency the ball is played as it lies and there is no penalty for the ball striking the outside agency. This is the precise circumstance that defines rub of the green . The fact that the ball deflected out of bounds requires Dave to continue play of the hole under Rule 27-1 (R19-1). |

=============================================================== TTour Weather Guidelines Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If Primarily, the course is open, we're going to play. The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness). In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.
If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
