It was a perfect summer day on July 10th, 36 players joined our individual competition. It was a very successful event. Thanks for the joint effort of Steve, Ben, Kerry, Debbie, Kailing and Shuo. Thanks for Ben to take care of the registration and handling of the money and checks and Kerry for figuring out the complex handicap and score. Also thanks for our former president Arthur – who played even with injury! Tiger should really learn from you and get tougher on the tour!
Thanks for the next generation that showed up! They are the hope of our club! Kevin Liu has taken home the longest drive and also hit low score of 77. Ivan Zhao again had won the net gross first place which unavoidably make us double his handicap again…

Golf rule I learned from a playing situation today
I played a round with three strangers today at Bellevue muni today. On hole 9, John’s tee shot went left into the trees behind the tee box of the 3rd hole. Since he was unable to find the ball, he dropped and hit a ball by the tree. The three guys went into almost a physical fight debating if this would be a one-stroke or two-stoke penalty.
If your answer is one stoke penalty, you have made the same mistake as John and me. A lost ball from tee shot is similarto OB, there is both distance and stoke penalty. If you hit from where you believe it was lost, it would be a two stoke penalty since you are supposed to go back to the tee box to hit the second ball. In this case, you should hit a provisional ball to save time.
While researching this, I found an interesting story, follow this link, if want to learn more:
