Let’s start at the start:
Trader by day, and desciple of golf Rules by night.
Twice a week
Dabble with internet Rules education and assisting Blakey in creating Rules videos
Sat through a Level 2 Rules course that Blakey presented and have been asking him questions ever since.
What got you into golf, and where did your fascination with the Rules start?
Started with playing competitions and having to know everything there was to know, because I was being given the wrong information by multiple people.
Okay, now the tough questions:
Why are the Rules of Golf important?
The benchmark of how the game is to be played, and how best to measure how you played against previous scores and other players scores.
What is your least favourite Rule?
Advice.
I thank you very much for your time, and would you like to read out Episode 52 GRQOTW:
Marcela plays her ball from a bunker and her ball comes to rest 5cm from the hole. While Marcela is raking the bunker, and so others can putt out, Fraser asks Marcela if he can mark her ball and then does so. After all others have holed out, Fraser replaces Marcela's ball on its original spot and Marcela holes out. On the next tee Marcela realises that the ball she picked out of the hole was not her ball. Fraser had actually replaced his own ball on the green after having holed out, and Marcela hit the ball Fraser had replaced on the original spot.
What is the ruling, is there any penalty to either player?
