GOLF UPDATE<br />
Rules Question of the Month<br />
By Head <strong>Golf</strong> Professional, Andy Engelbrecht<br />
Q<br />
A<br />
How do I obtain proper relief when my swing or stance<br />
is affected by a sprinkler or drain?<br />
Rule #24 Provides the following Relief:<br />
Except when the ball is in a water hazard or a lateral<br />
water hazard, a player may take relief from interference by an<br />
immovable obstruction as follows:<br />
Through the green: If the ball lies through the green, the player<br />
must lift the ball and drop it without penalty within one clublength<br />
of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief.<br />
The nearest point of relief must not be in a hazard or on a<br />
putting green. When the ball is dropped within one club-length<br />
of the nearest point of relief, the ball must first strike a part of<br />
the course at a spot that avoids interference by the immovable<br />
obstruction and is not in a hazard and not on a putting green.<br />
If you have questions about this rule, ask one of your Tiburón<br />
<strong>Golf</strong> Professionals for an illustration.<br />

Superintendent<br />
Fire Danger – High<br />
We are midway through Southwest Florida’s dry season.<br />
Sunny days with wind and low humidity are common at this<br />
time of year. These climatic conditions combine to produce a<br />
very dry environment. Our native pine straw areas around the<br />
courses are especially dry and can be set on fire by careless<br />
disposal of a cigarette or cigar. Please be very careful when<br />
smoking on the golf courses. Rainy season normally begins<br />
around June 15th.<br />

Members enjoyed a lovely afternoon of leisure bike riding through Bear<br />
Island Wilderness Preserve during the month of March to observe wildlife,<br />
native plants, and the beautiful scenery. We were provided with Cannondale<br />
bicycles and binoculars when we set out for this adventure. And…what<br />
an adventure it was! It was an Audubon Tour on bikes with a friendly,<br />
knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide. We traveled through freshwater<br />
marshes, cypress swamps, wet and dry prairies, and rare tropical hardwood<br />
hammocks. The trip is only $90 per person and we will be scheduling a few<br />
trips next season. Keep your eyes open for upcoming dates. Be sure not to<br />
miss the fun - but only if you are not afraid of alligators! To check out even<br />
