With the last few weeks seeing a drop in temperature and the odd sign of frost
The rainfall for June was continues with 108.4 mm recorded for the month and has seen an increase in water volume in the top irrigation dam (although not yet overflowing).

Although kikuyu is on the high end of resistance and recovery from wear (traffic/compaction), with the increase in golf carts in recent years and the type of soil structure in the Welgemoed area (see attached picture), it has become an ongoing program to manage cart traffic and compaction.

In an attempt to keep the golfing corridors manicured, signage and ropes have been added to assist in managing and directing golf carts which reduces compaction and leads to a stronger healthier playable surface.

Rule 27
Ball Lost or Out of Bounds; Provisional Ball
27-2 Provisional Ball

C. When Provisional Ball to be Abandoned
If the original ball is neither lost nor out of bounds, the player must abandon the provisional ball and continue playing with the original ball. If it is known or virtually certain that the original ball is in a water hazard, the player may proceed in accordance with Rule 26-1. In either situation, if the player makes any further strokes at the provisional ball, he is playing a wrong ball and the provisions of Rule 15-3 apply.

Note: If a player plays a provisional ball under Rule 27-2a, the strokes made after this Rule has been invoked with a provisional ball subsequently abandoned under Rule 27-2c and penalties incurred solely by playing that ball are disregarded.
