THE GRQ PODCAST EP64

RULE 1

Co-hosts: Stuart McPhee and Blakey

Whilst Blakey is in Korea for the International Series Korea held at Lotte Skyhill Jeju Country Club, they were able to record Episode 64 of The GRQ Podcast.

Stuart and Blakey delve into Rule 1, going through all that it entails, including:

  • The purpose of the Rule,
  • The aim of golf,
  • The behaviour expected of all golfers, this alone differentiates it from most sports,
  • The penalties involved for breaches, and
  • When multiple penalties occur at the same time.

We also provide the answer to GRQOTW for Ep 63, and provide another question for Ep 64:

Charlotte and Helen are playing a match.  On the par 3 3rd hole at Wombat Hills, Charlotte hits her tee shot long and it goes OB.  Helen saw that Charlotte had played from outside the teeing area and tells her this.   Charlotte asks, "so what does that mean?"   Helen explains that she has the right to cancel the stroke however as her ball went OB, she decides not to.  Charlotte tees it up again this time inside the teeing area and plays her 3rd shot onto the green, 5m from the hole.   Helen's tee shot is only 3m from the hole and says, "Thanks Charlotte, that is my hole."   Why would she say that and is she correct?
