ALL THE GOLF NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT...AND A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT THAT'S NOT

Get a Grip (length)!

While our golfing brethren to the north are using their courses for other purposes at this time of year, we in North Texas are blessed to have temperatures that allow us to play through the winter. However, with the incessant cycles of freezing than thawing that occur during the winter months, the fairways and rough can get a little sloppy from time-to-time, thus the decision to invoke Winter Rules for the next several months.

As a reminder, all players are entitled to one grip-length of relief through the green (no closer to the hole), with the ability to lift, clean, and place your ball where conditions so dictate. Per USGA Rule 7-1, please post your scores as you would at any other time of year when these rules are not in effect. Thank you.
