NIMAGA Notes - June 2009
EMBEDDED BALL AMENDED FOR THIS YEAR During the spring events we often face conditions that require the tournament directors to amend the embedded ball rule. Recently the Board of directors has decided to apply a change that will apply to our remaining tournaments. The current embedded ball rule reads that a player only receives relief if the ball lies in a closely mown area. This means that the ball must be in the fairway or a path mown to fairway height in order to get relief without penalty. During the upcoming events the Board of Directors has decided to allow relief for any ball outside a hazard that is embedded. In future events this change should be outlined on the first tee as groups tee off. If you have questions or need a rules clarification please ask your tournament director at the next event. For further detail read Rule 18-2 in the USGA rules of Golf. NIMAGA CUP 2009 The Match play took place at the Red Tail Golf Course in Lakewood on Sunday May 17, 2009. This year the Trevino Division attempted to defend their title but came across a very hungry Palmer Division. This spirited event is always played for the bragging rights and to claim the coveted Nimaga Cup! Congratulations to the Palmer Division! NIMAGA Member Guest Held at Prairie Landing on May 19th This year the event was held on May 19th and we had a great spring day! This year we had approximately 72 players and over thirty guests who were exposed to all that Nimaga has to offer. Make plans for next year to bring a guest or several. Winners and are listed below:

Reporting Scores Each year the Nimaga Board of directors reminds players that turning in scores in a timely manner is essential for us to run equitable and fair tournaments. Each year we continue to run into situations where a member has not done so. Please note that the Nimaga Board has on occasion placed players on a watch list and in extreme cases suspended players who have not turned in scores. Please know that we regret to take any disciplinary action against any member but we also know that having a creditable handicapping system is vital to the success of our tournaments. We are requesting that all members heed this urging and ensure that all scores are reported. Failure to do so can put you on a “watch list.” UPCOMING EVENTS
