Rules of Golf
Not all water hazards are created equal. Do you
know the difference between a regular water
hazard and a lateral water hazard? If you don’t,
it might be a good idea to read up on Rule 26,
which covers water hazards. Water hazards
are marked with yellow stakes and/or lines and
lateral water hazards are marked with red stakes
and/or lines. Where you drop is determined by
the point where your ball last crossed the margin
of the hazard. It is important to note the term
“last crossed”. Many times your ball will cross
the margins of several hazards before it comes
Message From Wilkes
As many of you know, the 4th of July is one of our biggest events, and this year is going to be one of the best ever.
We hope to see you here on Wednesday, July 4th!
The Club is heading into our 25th year, and while we
have gotten a lot out of our facilities over the years, we are
updating some things in various areas of the Club. One of
the rooms we are looking at is the Grill. I will update you on
this as we move closer to a definite plan.
We want to thank the Membership for such a wonderful
spring. We know everyone has important things going on in
your lives, and we want to thank all of you for your support
and participation. We are looking forward to a great summer and look forward to seeing you at your Club!
to rest. If your ball last crossed the margin of a
regular water hazard (yellow lines and/or stakes),
you have three options under Rule 26.
1. You may play the ball as it lies in the water
hazard. Remember not to ground your club.
2. You may proceed under penalty of one stroke
and play a ball as near as possible at the spot
from which the original ball was last played.
3. You may also drop a ball behind the hazard,
keeping the point at which the original ball
last crossed the margin of the hazard be-
tween the hole and the spot on which the ball
is dropped, with no limit to how far behind
the water hazard the ball may be dropped.
If your ball last crossed the margin of lateral
hazard (red lines and/or stakes), you have five
options. The same three options as a regular
hazard can be used with two additional options.
Under penalty of one stroke, the player may drop
a ball outside the lateral water hazard within
two club-lengths of and not nearer the hole than
the point where the original ball last crossed the
margin of the lateral water hazard or a point
on the opposite margin of the lateral water
hazard equidistant from the hole.
Knowing the rules means knowing what to do in
certain situations. Remember these and you will
know what to do the next time your ball ends up
in a water hazard.
An Inspiration
I had the opportunity to
meet Brandon Rowland from
Jackson, TN a few weeks ago
at Old Waverly. Brandon was
playing golf with his friends
from Jackson, and I saw them
on the 15th Hole. Brandon
was joined by Joe Richardson,
Carl Kirkland, Dr. Ben House,
and Mark Hawks. Brandon
hit a great 3rd shot into #15
about 16 feet from the hole.
He said they were playing
for $500,000 on this hole (make believe). I asked him if I gave
him the line, could I get a $50,000 commission on the putt? He
made the putt and I’m still looking for my $50,000. This was a
Great Day!
This is a real inspirational story about Brandon who lost
his legs at age 7. He received his Master’s degree from UT
at Martin in 2006 and now works for Fourroux Prosthetics
based in Huntsville, AL. He has made several television commercials for his company while playing golf and deer hunting. Brandon says, “The cool part of my job is helping people.
Maybe this is the answer to why it all happened to me – so I
could help others.”
Golf brought us all together at Old Waverly.

tips from
the TEE
In the past couple of
weeks Tim has gone out on
the LPGA Tour to work with
a client, and I have gone out
on the Nationwide Tour to work with a new client. All of
last year I spent most of my time on the road with a single
individual on the PGA Tour. 1207 On the road Tim and I
have noticed a few similarities that you will find in profes-
3rd - THEY KNOW HOW FAR EACH BALL IS GOING. On the
golf course the players know exactly how far it is to the flag.
After they hit the shot, they will find the pitch mark on the
green and walk off that distance to the flag. Generally they
will do this on every shot all the way around the course.

to the “van” to get stretched out. On the Nationwide Tour
you will see them in the parking lot getting loose and doing a series of stretches in the hotel room. This is critical,
as they don’t have to wait on their bodies to be able to hit
shots or get in positions.

the range or in the locker room. Know how far your ball is
flying on the course. You are going to fix your pitch mark
anyway right? So, why not walk off the distance from where
your ball landed to the flag? Get involved with the target on
the course. The course is not where you work on your swing.
Get out there and get involved in strategy and targets.
