Cart
Paths
Submitted by the Education
Committee
 Definition: A cart path is
considered an obstruction if any foreign material has been used to
construct it. (See Definition, Rules of Golf)
Example: Paths made of cement, tar, wood chips, planks or
gravel are obstructions. A dirt or sand path is not, so you're
NOT entitled to move the ball off these paths without penalty.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Q - The nearest point of relief from a path would put your ball
directly in the middle of a tree. Does that mean you can't
take relief because you have no shot?
A - No. You would estimate the nearest point of relief,
then make the drop within one club-length of that point - but no
nearer the hole.

NCGA Membership Dues
Correction
for renewals &
multi-members
The NCGA membership dues
for members renewing or multi-members (NCGA with more than one
club) was previously incorrectly stated as $40. The correct
cost is $35.
Those members who have overpaid will be receiving a
$5 refund. |
NCGA Membership
with On-Line
Registration
for calendar
year 2008
 Are you
interested in becoming an NCGA member for 2008 or do you
need to renew your NCGA membership?
New NCGA member dues for 2008 are $45.00 and renewals or
multi-members (NCGA with more than one club) are $35.00.
The renewal period runs through December
15th, but don't wait! Late payments are an extra
$5.00 and will reduce the amount of time the player is an NCGA
member as they work on a calendar year. (This is separate from
EWGA dues and not required unless you want NCGA benefits.)
The Northern California Golf Association benefits
include:
- the ability to compete in NCGA tournaments
- NCGA magazine
- discounts at Poppy Hills (Pebble Beach)
- discounts at Poppy Ridge (Livermore)
- GHIN handicapping
- free lessons and clinics
- Free access to 17-mile drive in Pebble Beach -
anytime!
You will need to Log-In to register.
Also, Cindy has requested that members register by December
15th although the website states a deadline of December
31st. That is the date Cindy needs to have the payments
and information in to the NCGA. Please do not wait to
the end of the month to
register. |
Did you order an
EWGA shirt at the 2007 Kick-Off
?
We apologize for not keeping you
informed of the many delays and ultimate inability to provide you
with your shirt. If you paid for a shirt then you will be
given a refund. Please check your credit card bills or
cancelled checks. We believe most checks were not cashed and
cards not charged but some may have inadvertently gone through.
If your check was cashed or your credit card charged, then
contact our chapter treasurer, Laurie Kehl for a
refund at treasurer@ewganeb.org |
