Hail the D.O.G.S.!!!!!,
31 players turned up for D.O.G.S second GOBAR at Permata Sentul. The course was quite busy so the starter arranged for us to have a shotgun start. The weather was perfect for a day of golf and a late afternoon rainstorm that threatened did not materialize. Pace was methodical but everyone finished before sunset.
Welcome to Akhil Aggarwal, we hope you enjoyed the day and we'll see you back soon.
On the 8th hole Timo Karonen watched in horror as his tee shot was going 50m left of the pin towards the penalty area. Fortunately for him, it hit a steel pole and bounced to the edge of the green where he made an easy chip and putt for par; easy game! Make sure you rub his head for luck before teeing off next week.
Some good numbers put up on Saturday; Gaurav Shirke shot a 79 to win Lowest Gross and gather a Longest Drive on the way. Jude Alexander Took the other Longest Drive, putting Champion and scored 42 points, enough for Runner Up. Gazza Chapman was a 2 prize winner taking the coveted Booby Prize and Most Exercise awards. The biggest smile of the day went to Holger Molendyk who collected a Nearest to Pin, shot his best round ever (80), and became our Weekly Champion!
Congratulations to all our winners.

Rules
The Rules and what it means when we play.
Courtesy of fellow Dog, Jens Roestel, R&A First Grade Umpire.
With over 2 years gone since the rules changes implemented in 2019 many players are still unaware of them.
Here are the 20 must know New Rules

Drop in and play from the relief area.
When dropping back-on-the-line, your ball cannot be played from nearer the hole than your chosen reference point.
Time to search for a lost ball is 3 minutes (NOT 5 minutes).
If you accidentally move your ball when searching for it you may replace it without penalty.
No penalty for a double hit, it only counts as one stroke.
No penalty if your ball hits you or your equipment accidentally after a stroke.

If a player has an unplayable ball in bunker there is the option to drop outside the bunker for 2 penalty strokes.
Players caddie or partner cannot stand behind player once they begin taking their stance.
For quick Pace of Play it is recommended that players take no longer than 40 seconds to make a stroke and normally should be able to play more quickly than that. "Ready Golf" is encouraged in stroke play.
