The penalty area, for example), golfers will now drop from knee height. This will accomplishments with the likes of LPGA professional - Brooke ensure consistency and simplicity in the dropping process while also preserving Henderson, and PGA professional - Adam Hadwin, have helped the randomness of the drop. (Key change: the proposed Rules released in 2017 pave the way for future professionals, which aligns to our tagline: suggested dropping from any height). #YourFutureStartsHere.

The CJGA is proud to announce new National partnerships with Removing the penalty for a double hit: The penalty stroke for accidentally striking the ball more than once in the course of a stroke has been removed. Golfers will simply count the one stroke they made to strike the ball. (Key change: the proposed Rules released in 2017 included the existing one-stroke penalty). Balls Lost or Out of Bounds: Alternative to Stroke and Distance: A new Local Rule will now be available in January 2019, permitting committees to allow golfers the option to drop the ball in the vicinity of where the ball is lost or out of bounds (including the nearest fairway area), under a two-stroke penalty. It addresses concerns raised at the club level about the negative impact on pace of play when a player is required to go back under stroke and distance. The Local Rule is not intended for higher levels of play, such as professional or elite level competitions. (Key change: this is a new addition to support pace of play).

CJGA Junior Golf News Feature CJGA members bring home lasting memories from The Masters by Brent Long
W hat a day it was for the three young Canadians participating in the 2018 Drive, Chip & Putt Championship at Augusta National Golf Course on the Sunday before the Masters. Not surprisingly, the three Ontario members of the Canadian Junior Golf Association; Vanessa Borovilos from Toronto, Luke DelGobbo from Fonthill and Landon Kelly from Bobcaygeon, all have different stories to tell from their experience of competing in the most highly anticipated and hyped junior competition of the year. Since the inaugural Drive, Chip & Putt Championship in 2014, 10 CJGA members have qualified for the event that just keeps getting bigger and bigger and better and better. In 2017, Savannah Grewal from Mississauga, ON became the first CJGA member to win an age division at Augusta National as Mia Wong from Markham, ON and Carlee Meilleur from Lansdowne, ON also teed it up. In 2016, it was Elaine Giantsopolous from Richmond Hill, ON along with Jayla Kucy from Camrose, AB and Borovilos who made their second consecutive trip to the big show. In 2015, Ryan Blair from Oakbank, Manitoba made the trip and in 2014 it was none other than Nyah Kelly – older sister to Landon who competed earlier this year! “It’s great to see youngsters develop and mature as they progress through the different levels of the CJGA. It’s truly inspiring to watch them learn to play and develop a passion for the sport,” says Earl Fritz, Executive Director of the CJGA. “The CJGA has always been a stepping stone to great things for those athletes who want to work at it and improve. What we saw at the Dive, Chip & Putt Championship was another example of the opportunities that are out there for young Canadian golfers to succeed a the international level.” Here’s a brief look into the lives of three exceptional CJGA members and their passion for the game that drives them to take their game to the next level at every opportunity. VANESSA BOROVILOS After leaving her chip shots short in two previous appearances in the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship there Vanessa, now 11 and in Grade 6, finished fourth in the was no way Vanessa Borovilos wanted to find herself in the Girls 7-9 division in 2015 and 5th in the same division in same boat. 2016, but didn’t qualify for the big show in 2017.

She detests losing more This time around I knew exactly where I needed to land my than she likes winning, Lawrie says. “It doesn’t matter if we chip shots and I knew the breaks of the putts, so that made it are playing ping pong or chipping. It’s all a competition easier,” says Vanessa, who has been a member of the CJGA and she doesn’t want to lose. If I beat her in something, since winning her very first event back in 2011 at Cardinal she does everything she can to get me the next time. The GC as a Junior Linkster.

Vanessa will continue to play CJGA events and later this summer, she will tee it up at the Canadian equivalent – The moment that landed her the most attention was when 81- the Future Links Junior Skills Challenge National year-old Gary Player swept her up into his arms at the trophy Championship at Glen Abbey GC where she finished presentation and the photo went viral of the smiling second in 2017 – it’s one trophy she doesn’t have just yet!

However, her favourite moment of the entire experience LUKE DELGOBBO came during Monday’s practice, when after a two-hour wait, Tiger Woods signed a Masters Flag that now sits proudly in After watching the 2017 Masters on TV for four her bedroom beside her Drive, Chip & Putt Championship consecutive days in 2017, Luke DelGobbo saw it in a new trophy. light. The Fonthill teen decided in that moment that he wanted to visit the world’s greenest golf course. Perhaps more exciting for Vanessa was the announcement that starting in 2019 the Augusta National Women’s You can’t blame teenagers for having big dreams – their Amateur Championship will be introduced featuring a field future awaits. DelGobbo didn’t merely see himself of 72 international players.

“Golf is No. 1 for me. I love to practice. I can spend two hours making 20 footers on the practice putting green or I can go to the range and hit balls for an hour without changing clubs. There’s nothing better,” says the third-year Fonthill G&CC junior member. Then came the qualifiers Fox Valley in Buffalo where he picked up the third and final qualifying spot to move to the second round. Then came Turning Stone Resort in Syracuse, NY where he picked up the win to move to the third and final stage of qualifying at Winged Foot Golf Club just outside New York City — five-time host site of the U.S. Open. The storyline was simple - win and you go to Augusta along with winners from the other 10 remaining sites around the country – lose and he would never have an opportunity to compete at Augusta. Luke, who comes in at just 5’4”, made the most of the seven- hour drive with a victory as he punched his ticket to the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship. “I think I was a little more nervous at each qualifier because I knew I was getting closer to my goal, but they also helped me learn to deal with the pressure. The first time I was standing up there to take a drive my knees were shaking – it was like making a speech in front of your class at school. At the second qualifier I was able to take a few deep breaths to calm myself down inside and by the time I got to Winged Foot my knees were strong,” says Luke, who won both the Niagara Junior Tour and his club’s junior titles in 2017. In the first qualifier his drives were in the 210 to 217-yard range, in the second 230 yards, in the final qualifier 240 to 250 yards on a cold day and at Augusta he topped out with a drive of 262 yards after going OB on his first swing – uphill and into the wind! “Going to Augusta for the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship is the most fun I have ever had golfing. When you think of golf it’s the best place you could be to golf. I just tried to take in as much as I could and enjoy the entire experience. Putting on No. 18 and making that final putt is something I will never forget. That was an amazing feeling. They treated us like pros from start to finish.” At Augusta he was second overall after hitting a perfect drive down the middle to start the competition. He continued From the very first time he played his first round of golf at Pen the hot streak finishing chipping in fifth spot which kept him in Lakes GC, Luke was hooked and there has been no turning second overall, five points behind the leader. “I was trying to back as his passion for the game grew with every swing. make both putts (the first one from 30 feet and the second #Your Future Starts Here CJGA Junior Golf News 11
from 15 feet) I had to win putting if I wanted to win the overall title.” His first putt went six feet by, but then he drained the second putt. “I didn’t want to leave it short. I knew it was in three feet from the cup. I just saw it rolling in and turned my back to celebrate,” says Luke who finished fifth overall. What’s next, well his coach Sean Casey, the Director of Instruction at Glen Abbey, has recommended Luke join the CJGA to take his overall game to the next level this summer. “I recommended that Luke play the CJGA, so he could compete on a bigger stage against better players,” says Casey who also acts as an international coach for the CJGA. “Up until this point time he has really only competed in the Niagara region. The CJGA events are professionally run, at quality golf courses and there is an event pretty much every week so it’s easy to build a schedule. I also like the opportunities the juniors have to qualify to compete and represent Canada in international events.” “Luke worked hard this winter to prepare for the drive, chip and putt but also just to improve his game for the upcoming season. He did a great job and worked hard to improve his swing over the winter was able to really improve his technique and ball striking. At each lesson we discussed important mental strategies that would be necessary to give himself a chance in Augusta. I was really happy with the way he competed and the quality of the shots he hit. It’s a tough competition to win with so few shots. He was in second place after the driving and chipping and was the only one in his division to make one of his two putts. Overall, it was a great experience and he now has memories that will last a lifetime,” Casey added. “I’m looking forward to playing my first CJGA event and we’ll take it one week at a time,” Luke notes. While Luke may be a little nervous when he hears his name called as he steps on the tee at his first CJGA tournament, it’s the start of another chapter in the life of a teenaged dreamer and we all know where that can take you!

Information on Rules is not Advice Barry Rhodes Barry is the author of ‘999 Updated Questions on the Rules of Golf 2012-2015’, the easiest and most enjoyable way to absorb and understand the Rules. He is an enthusiastic, high handicap golfer, resident in Dublin, Ireland, who developed an interest, then a fascination, and now an obsession with the Rules of Golf. Barry’s relationship with the Rules began in 2000 with his participation in the inter-club Rules of Golf quiz competitions, organised by the Royal & Ancient for Golf Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland. This then led to him writing articles, running quizzes, and delivering presentations on the Rules at a variety of Golf Club and corporate functions. In March 2008, Barry became the first person to achieve a 100% correct mark on the public Advanced Rules of Golf Course examination, run by the PGA in their headquarters at The Belfry, West Midlands, UK.
I There was an excellent interaction relating to the Rules of Golf Cherie arrives on the 1st tee 4 minutes after her official start time in a between the ‘new kid on the block’, Shubhankar Sharma and the medal competition. She makes her apologies and while she is waiting for ‘veteran’, Phil Mickelson, last Sunday at the 2018 WGC-Mexico her fellow competitor's to tee-off she realises that she has left her putter Championship. Together with Tyrrell Hatton, as the three third at home, where she was practicing her putting on the carpet. round leaders, they were in the final group to tee off. Sharma’s ball flew the green at the 5th hole and he found it surrounded by television wires. She sees a friend, who has just completed her round, walking towards It seems that Sharma, who currently leads the European Tour’s Race to the clubhouse and shouts to her, asking to borrow her putter. Dubai, may not have been sure whether his relief was from a movable obstruction or an immovable obstruction. Phil Mickelson had no such Still flustered from her late arrival she then makes a mess of her tee shot doubt and helpfully guided him through the process of taking relief from and hooks it into a bunker on an adjacent hole. a movable obstruction. You can view the incident at this Golf Channel link. She sees a ball that is almost buried in soft sand but cannot positively identify it as hers. As she cannot see any other ball in the bunker she Phil correctly recognised that the wires were easily movable and told assumes that it must be hers, digs her feet into the sand to make a stance Sharma to mark his ball, in case it moved while he was removing the and swings at the ball. wires, even directing him to move his marker closer, so that the position would be more accurately marked. In fact, it is not necessary to mark a Her contact is not good and she immediately realises that she has hit the ball whilst removing an obstruction, as Rule 24-2 only requires that if the ball twice in splashing it out of the bunker. ball moves while doing so it must be replaced. But marking the ball’s position in this situation is a good practice that all golfers should follow. She remembers to rake the bunker where she has just played from and, having checked that the ball is indeed hers, she takes three more strokes An important point here is that providing information on the Rules does to complete the hole. not incur the penalty for giving advice, Definition of Advice. But Decision 8-1/16 provides a caveat; What is Cherie's score for the hole? Q. B's ball was lying badly. B was deliberating what action to take when (The answer is below) A, his fellow-competitor, said: "You have no shot at all. If I were you, I would deem the ball unplayable."

It did not swing, providing you do not actually improve the area of your intended constitute "information on the Rules," which is not advice. stroke swing. Decision 13-2/0.5. I have no doubt that Phil was correct in identifying the interfering cable as a movable obstruction. The Definition states that an obstruction is a movable obstruction if it may be moved without unreasonable effort, without unduly delaying play and without causing damage, which obviously applied to the cables in this incident, even if they had been trodden down and were partially embedded in the soft earth. Another example of a movable obstruction that is embedded is a water hazard stake, which may be inserted several inches into the ground, but is still easily removable and is therefore a movable obstruction, unless a Local Rule states otherwise. This is not the first time that Phil Mickelson has shown that he has a good knowledge of the Rules of Golf; if only this applied to all the Pro golfers on Tour.
