- "Rome was not built in one day"
Rome was not built in a day and neither can one play a
good game of golf in a day.....in some cases even after some
years! We have an article by Dr Alan Teh on PDA (pdf format
or html) basics for
doctors in this issue, I thought I will touch on something
more closer to the heart of some doctors. Not PDA but
something to do with PGA....yup, Golf!
Before I suggest some golf links for the diehards out there ...here is some sound advice for male golfers.
Good Advice
- Back straight, knees bent, feet shoulder width apart.
- Form a loose grip.
- Keep your head down.
- Avoid a quick back swing.
- Stay out of the water.
- Try not to hit anyone.
- If you are taking too long, please let others go
ahead of you.
- Don't stand directly in front of others.
- Quiet please!... while others are preparing to go.
- Don't take extra strokes.
Very good. Flush the urinal, go outside and tee off.
A fairly comprehensive web site. They are also the editors of the golf magazine. Don't miss the golfonline for beginners guide. Check out the Golf Course Online, it has comprehensive information on more than 20,000 courses worldwide.
- GolfDigest.com ( http://www.golfdigest.com/ ) Another comprehensive site.
- The Golf Circuit (http://www.golfcircuit.com/ ) A site with good tips on rules and some daily instruction tips.
e.g Player Plays From Wrong Tee Box
SITUATION: Players play from the white markers on the sixth tee when they should have played from the blue markers.
SOLUTION: STROKE PLAY--both players receive a
two-stroke penalty and must correct their error by playing
from the correct teeing ground. If the error is not corrected
before the player plays a ball from the next teeing ground,
or in the case of the last hole of the round, leaves the
putting green without first declaring his intent to correct
his error would result in disqualification.
MATCH PLAY--an opponent may immediately require the player to
cancel the stroke and play from the correct teeing ground.
However, in the above situation, if the players agreed to
play from the wrong markers would result in disqualification
for agreeing to waive the rules.
