Spring Seminar a Success<br />

Forty <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Professionals attended the awesome<br />

Spring Education Seminar held Thursday, June 10th at<br />

The Vineyards Country Club. The seminar featured Oncor<br />

Solutions, a marketing solutions company, and a panel of <strong>PGA</strong><br />

Professionals discussing the employment issues facing the golf<br />

industry today.<br />

Oncor Solutions shocked the audience with how simple it can<br />

be to find customers/members, engage them all while tracking<br />

your ROI on monies spent. They used real examples of<br />

golf courses in the section that they have already worked with<br />

to prove that the methods they teach really work! They also<br />

proved that you could do get 1000% return on marketing dollars<br />

without having to spend massive amounts of money in order<br />

to generate business. Free information on resources that<br />

could bring in new customers right away was<br />

Oncor Solutions was present to help kick off their FREE webinar<br />

series beginning July 19th. This series will feature information<br />

on how to re-think your marketing tactics, how to use<br />

what they call the ‘new social media’, all while keeping your<br />

budgets in check, and drive in customers. This webinar series<br />

will show simple solutions, and ways of tracking the ROI of<br />

your marketing. More information regarding the webinar series<br />

will be available soon.<br />

Immediately following Oncor’s presentation a panel discussion<br />

was conducted, featuring a diverse group of <strong>PGA</strong> Professional<br />

from all different aspects of the golf industry, including<br />

private and public facilities, hospitality corporations and the<br />

<strong>PGA</strong> of America. The panel consisted of SF<strong>PGA</strong> Professionals<br />

Tom Wildenhaus, Rich Lamb and Doug Reed, along <strong>PGA</strong><br />

Career Consultant Phil Berry. All were asked questions regarding<br />

the current employment situation and how they have remained<br />

successful at their facilities for an extended period of<br />

time. The biggest piece of advice that they offered was to show<br />

your passion for golf, make yourself visible at all times, and be<br />

hungry to take on multiple job roles.<br />

Again, the information shared during the seminar was tremendous.<br />

Thank you to all those who attended and our speakers<br />

for their time.<br />

challenge cup - north v. south<br />

Wes Smith Selected as Honorary Captain of the<br />

2010 SF<strong>PGA</strong> Challenge Cup Team<br />

A prestigious rivalry between the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> and North <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Sections, the annual<br />

Challenge Cup Matches pits the top ten regular division players and top two senior<br />

division players from each respective North and <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Player of the year<br />

Point Races against one another over the course of 2 days and 3 different formats for coveted<br />

Section bragging rights.<br />

The Challenge Cup Matches began in 1981 at Grenelefe <strong>Golf</strong> & Tennis Resort in Haines<br />

City, FL, where the North <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> team claimed the first Cup victory over the <strong>South</strong><br />

<strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> team by a slim margin of 9 ½ to 8 ½ points. Since then, the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong><br />

<strong>PGA</strong> Challenge Cup team has dominated the matches, winning 19 out of 29 competitions<br />

(2 matches halved, 8 won by the North <strong>Florida</strong> Section), and have managed to keep the Cup in the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong><br />

<strong>PGA</strong> Section for the past 10 consecutive years.<br />

Captaining last year’s squad was <strong>PGA</strong> Professional Gary Baker, who joined an impressive list of honorary captains<br />

including Ed Ficker, Burl Dale, Mickie Gallagher, Dub Pagan, Sandy Robertson, Mike Krak, Chuck Woodward,<br />

Buddy Cook, Jack Carney, Dale Brady, Marion Heck, Fred Harkness, Roger Kennedy, Sr., and most recently, Johnny<br />

LaPonzina. Gary’s been a part of the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> Section since 1971, and enjoyed the Challenge Cup every year.<br />

“I played in the very first Challenge Cup we ever held, and being captain was something I looked forward to for a<br />

long time.”<br />

Gary helped lead the 2009 <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> Challenge Cup team to it’s tenth victory in a row. “It’s easy to captain<br />

when you have a lot of great players,” Gary said.<br />

Close friend of Gary’s, Wes Smith of Grey Oaks Country Club, was selected as this year’s Challenge Captain.<br />

Wes says, “I’ve played several times in our Challenge Cup and am looking forward to leading the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> Section<br />

to complete and total victory! We have the best section.”<br />

The 30th Annual Challenge Cup<br />

Matches will be held in the <strong>South</strong><br />

<strong>Florida</strong> Section at the Bay Colony<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Club October 12-13, 2010.<br />

The <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Challenge<br />

Cup team roster will be announced<br />

after the SF<strong>PGA</strong> Section Championship<br />

and will be supported and<br />

outfitted by Jack Nicklaus Sportswear.<br />

patriot golf day<br />

register your golf course today!<br />

Memorial Day weekend, <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> members Karl Bublitz, Tom Metzger, Bob Baldassari represented the<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> at The Patriot Cup on May 30th & 31st. The Patriot Cup was a Pro-Am event to open The Patriot<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Club which is the home course of the Folds of Honor Foundation.<br />

The three professionals played on the 30th with members of the Patriot <strong>Golf</strong> Club and amateurs that were brought<br />

to help support the efforts of the foundation. On the 31st, tour professionals representing the <strong>PGA</strong> Tour, the<br />

Champions Tour, the L<strong>PGA</strong> Tour and the Nationwide Tour played with the amateur guests, military representatives<br />

from every arm of the military and some Patriot members. Following golf, a black tie gala was held to celebrate<br />

the foundation and all of the work and scholarships that have been generated to this point, and to bring focus back<br />

to the foundation’s efforts.<br />

“Tom, Bob and I left Tulsa more energized than ever to make certain we are doing all we can to assist with the<br />

Foundation’s efforts! We look forward to our continued efforts to get our fellow Professionals involved in the<br />

fund raising efforts during Labor Day weekend with Patriot <strong>Golf</strong> Day.” said Karl Bublitz.<br />

Last year, the <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> section raised over $79,000 with over 192<br />

participating courses.<br />

Patriot <strong>Golf</strong> Day is the flagship fundraiser for the Folds of Honor Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization<br />

that provides postsecondary educational scholarships for the children and spouses of military men and women disabled<br />

or killed while serving our great nation. On Labor Day weekend, golfers across the country are asked to add<br />

an extra dollar to their greens fees to fund Folds of Honor scholarships. The Patriot <strong>Golf</strong> Day campaign is jointly<br />

supported by The <strong>PGA</strong> of America and the United States <strong>Golf</strong> Association.<br />

The inaugural Patriot <strong>Golf</strong> Day in 2007 was started by Major Dan Rooney, Founder of the Folds of Honor Foundation,<br />

F-16 Pilot, <strong>PGA</strong> Professional, and USGA member. On Labor Day 2007 Rooney asked golfers to add $1 to their<br />

greens fees. His request resulted in donations of more than $1.1 million from more than 3,200 golf facilities. In the<br />

last three years, golfers nationwide have been instrumental in raising more than $5.3 million through Patriot <strong>Golf</strong><br />

Day events.<br />

Patriot <strong>Golf</strong> Day 2010 will again be held during the Labor Day weekend, September 3-6. If you are interested<br />

in joining the mission to empower the lives of deserving military families with educational opportunities,<br />

then please become a participating facility in 2010! <strong>PGA</strong> Professionals who host an event<br />

and submit funds to the Folds of Honor Foundation will receive TWO MSR Credits.<br />

The 2010 Patriot <strong>Golf</strong> Day kits will be mailed the mid-July to all registered facilities. Kit contents include a poster,<br />

flyer, tent cards, suggested guidelines for hosting the event as well as Best Practices. Registration is available at<br />

www.Patriot<strong>Golf</strong>Day.com.<br />

Double Rules<br />

Dilemma<br />

SF<strong>PGA</strong> TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR ANDREW MILLER<br />

Some interesting rulings came up during last month’s<br />

Championships. The first happened during the Pro-<br />

Scratch Championship played at TPC Eagle Trace and<br />

the second at the E-Z-GO <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> Open at Tiburon<br />

and Pelican Marsh.<br />

The Pro-Scratch Championship is four-ball stroke<br />

play event in which a <strong>PGA</strong> Professional partners<br />

with an Amateur competing under a better ball<br />

format. During the Championship a player hit<br />

his partner’s ball. The partner realized the error<br />

right away, retrieved his ball and dropped it from<br />

where his partner had played. What is the penalty?<br />

Well, let’s start with the most obvious penalty first.<br />

Rule 31-5 tells us, “If a competitor is in breach of<br />

Rule 15-3b for making a stroke at a wrong ball,<br />

he incurs a penalty of two strokes and must correct<br />

his mistake by playing the correct ball or by<br />

proceeding under the Rules. His partner incurs<br />

no penalty even if the wrong ball belongs to him.”<br />

It is important to note that when the player played<br />

the wrong ball, he took a divot with the swing. He<br />

also took a divot with his practice swing. In short,<br />

this means that the spot from which the wrong ball<br />

was played was determinable and the partner should<br />

have placed the ball instead of dropping it from which<br />

it was previously played. Decision 20-6/1 states, “A<br />

player placed a ball when he should have dropped<br />

it or dropped it when he should have placed it.”<br />

Before playing a stroke, may the player lift the ball,<br />

without penalty, under Rule 20-6 and proceed correctly?<br />

Yes. Otherwise the player would lose the<br />

hole in match play or incur a penalty of two strokes<br />

in stroke play for a breach of the applicable Rule.<br />

Some of you might be saying, “Wait a minute Drew.<br />

You’re telling us the partner needed to place the ball<br />

from where it was just played even though that exact<br />

spot is now a sand filled divot?” The answer is yes,<br />

well, sort of. Rule 20-3b tells us, “If the original lie<br />

of a ball to be placed or replaced has been altered:<br />

except in a hazard, the ball must be placed in the<br />

nearest lie most similar to the original lie that is<br />

not more than one club-length from the original<br />

lie, not nearer the hole and not in a hazard.” So, to<br />

recap, the player got a two-stroke penalty for playing<br />

a wrong ball and the partner got a two stroke penalty<br />

for dropping a ball when he should have placed it.<br />

The second situation I wanted to share happened<br />

during the E-Z-GO <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> Open on the 18th<br />

hole at Tiburon. A player hit his second shot into the<br />

later water hazard which runs parallel with the left<br />

side of the hole. The player measured his two club<br />

lengths, dropped his ball, which rolled into the water,<br />

re-dropped under Rule 20-2c with the same result and<br />

then finally placed the ball on the spot from which it<br />

was re-dropped. At that moment the ball rolled into<br />

the hazard. The player looked up, noticed I was sitting<br />

behind the 18th green and motioned me over.<br />

How should the player have proceeded? The first<br />

question we need to determine is if the ball was<br />

in play after the player placed it on the spot from<br />

where it was re-dropped? Rule 20-4 states, “If the<br />

player’s ball in play has been lifted, it is again in<br />

play when dropped or placed.” This rule implies<br />

that the ball comes to rest when dropped or placed.<br />

Decision 20-2c/3.5 can help clarify when a ball<br />

is in play. It states, “A player’s ball comes to<br />

rest against a boundary stake. He deems the<br />

ball unplayable and drops it within two clublengths<br />

of where the ball originally lay, as prescribed<br />

by Rule 28c. After the ball has been at<br />

rest, it rolls and comes to rest out of bounds.”<br />

What is the ruling? If a dropped ball comes to rest<br />

but subsequently moves, the ball must be played<br />

as it lies. In this case the ball is out of bounds and<br />

the player must proceed under Rule 27-1. Since the<br />

ball was at rest before moving, Rule 20-2c is not applicable.<br />

The same is true for a ball which is placed.<br />

Once you place the ball and remains still without moving,<br />

that ball is then is play. If it subsequently moves,<br />

you then must play it from its new position. Another<br />

example is Decision 20-3d/1 which states, “A player<br />

replaces his ball on the putting green three feet<br />

from the hole.” As he is about to address the ball, it<br />

rolls into the hole. Should the ball be replaced or is he<br />

deemed to have holed out with his previous stroke?<br />

The answer depends on whether the ball, when replaced,<br />

came to rest on the spot on which it was<br />

placed before is started rolling. If it did, the player<br />

is deemed to have holed out with his previous stroke.<br />

education<br />

Double Rules<br />

Dilemma<br />

If not, he is required to replace the ball. However, if<br />

the ball had been overhanging the hole when it was<br />

lifted, the provisions of Rule 16-2 would override<br />

those of Rule 20-3d.” So back to the initial ruling, we<br />

determined that the ball had not come to rest when he<br />

placed it and Rule 20-3d tells us, “If a ball when placed<br />

fails to come to rest on the spot on which it was placed,<br />

there is no penalty and the ball must be replaced. If it<br />

still fails to come to rest on that spot: except in a hazard,<br />

it must be placed at the nearest spot where it can<br />

be placed at rest that is not nearer the hole and not in<br />

a hazard.” Had the player’s ball subsequently come to<br />

rest when placed and then it rolled into the hazard, the<br />

player would then have to proceed again under Rule<br />

26-1.<br />

For arguments sake, let’s say the player’s ball came to<br />

rest after he placed it and then it rolled into the hazard<br />

and the player had to again take relief under Rule 26-1,<br />

do you think he would be permitted to change his relief<br />

option? Meaning instead of dropping two club lengths<br />

from where it entered the hazard, could he now drop on<br />

the opposite margin, go back to the tee or even take the<br />

spot from which it enter the hazard and then line that up<br />

spot with the flagstick and go back as far as he wished?<br />

Decision 20-2c.5 says, “A player deems his ball unplayable.<br />

Of the three options available under Rule<br />

28, he elects Rule 28c and drops the ball within two<br />

club-lengths of the spot where it lay. The ball rolls<br />

and comes to rest nearer the hole than its original<br />

position, so the player is required by Rule 20-2c to<br />

re-drop. May the player now proceed under a different<br />

option? No. If the player did so, he would<br />

be in breach of Rule 20-2c. The same principle<br />

would apply when proceeding under Rule 26-1.”<br />

Although this Decision would seem to infer that the<br />

player would not be permitted from changing his relief<br />

option, he is in fact able to change his relief option.<br />

Under this particular situation, the player is taking relief<br />

“again” from the hazard. It’s almost as if he never<br />

took relief the first time. Therefore he is permitted to<br />

select any option under Rule 26-1 for taking relief.<br />

With the same score on the same golf course, Ed<br />

Sabo of Tequesta has won the Titleist Vero Beach<br />

Shootout for the second year in a row.<br />

Sabo earned 44 Stableford points Tuesday (June 1)<br />

at Hawk's Nest <strong>Golf</strong> Club, edging Alan Morin of<br />

Royal Palm Beach and Jerry Tucker of Stuart, who<br />

tied for second with 43 points. A year ago, Sabo beat<br />

Morin with par-4 on the first playoff hole.<br />

"But don't ask me to compare the two," Sabo, 61,<br />

said with a grin. "I may not remember much about<br />

this round by the time I get home today."<br />

Let the record show he shot two under par 70 on<br />

his own ball with six birdies, four on the back nine<br />

after beginning in the 12th hole in a shotgun start.<br />

All four of his bogeys were on the front side.<br />

It was Sabo's 10th <strong>South</strong>east Chapter victory since<br />

1988, his second this year. He won the Jupiter Classic<br />

at The Dye Preserve on May 10. He earned $1,123<br />

from the $11,310 purse here, including an optional<br />

bonus pool, shootout and skins game.<br />

Traditionally, a shootout among the top eight finishers<br />

follows the 18-hole main event. Tuesday, play<br />

was suspended by lightning after the first round and<br />

the $400 purse was distributed among the participants.<br />

Less than 20 minutes later the all-clear horn<br />

was sounded but by then nearly everyone had left.<br />

"That's too bad," Sabo said as he packed up. "The<br />

shootout last year was a lot of fun."<br />

Stableford points were awarded the 74 starters on<br />

the basis of one for bogey, two for par, four for birdie<br />

and six for eagle.<br />

There were no skins and the money in that pool<br />

was redistributed in the general prize fund.<br />

The <strong>South</strong>ern Chapter tournament schedule is in<br />

full swing. Thank you very much to Dave Carse<br />

and<br />

Mark Vandyck ffor all their efforts this season.<br />

On June 4, 2010 we held a pro only stroke play<br />

tournament at Grande Oaks <strong>Golf</strong> Club, home of<br />

Caddyshack. Thanks to Scott Rolan and his staff<br />

for a fun day and congratulations to Jared Isaacs,<br />

2009 Chapter Champion, for taking top honors<br />

with a fine 66. John Gerber was runner up with<br />

an excellent 69 followed by Jay Zina with a 2 under<br />

par 70. We are looking better for next years Nelson<br />

Cup.<br />

On Monday, June 28, 2010 we had a pro stableford<br />

tournament and seminar at the Jim Mclain Signature<br />

Course at Doral. Larry Blanchard took top<br />

honors with 40 points followed by Lou Bartoleti<br />

with 39 points and Chris Toulson with 36 points.<br />

The Seminar was outstanding with 2 outstanding<br />

speakers in John Webster from the John Webster<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Academy at the Breakers in Palm Beach who<br />

introduced us to his "Total Package <strong>Golf</strong>" concept.<br />

The next speaker was our own Dan McCarthy,<br />

Director of Instruction at Grande Oaks <strong>Golf</strong><br />

Club, explaining what science is now telling us<br />

about how the golf ball "really" flies. It was amazing<br />

how these 2 gentlemen complimented each<br />

other in their teaching philosophies.<br />

Our next event is the Junior Senior Tournament<br />

on July 16 at Fort Lauderdale Country Club.<br />

Please make every effort to attend since this<br />

event always has a surprise ending with our great<br />

hosts, Mike O'Brien and Mark Vandyck and their<br />

staff.<br />

Thanks for reading.<br />
