Last Week's Quiz.

This actually happened to me way back when I was playing on the South African Sunshine Tour. It was during the South African Masters at Kensington GC. We were playing a threesome, and one player asked another what club he hit. The player answered, “A 6 iron.” What is the penalty, if any, and who gets it?

Answer: Both players are assessed a two-stroke penalty. One for asking for advice and the other for giving it! Thanks to all the people who entered. The winner is Amir Nikravesh of Switzerland. Please send me a video of your swing from both the rear and front angles. I will be happy to give you a free critique!

This week's quiz involves an incident that happened to me in a tournament in South Africa. It was my second tournament as a golf professional, and it occurred during the second round of the South African Open at East London Golf Club. My ball was in a small bush, and I did not want to take a penalty drop. So I put my club behind the ball and, without any backswing, scraped the ball forward and out of the bush. Did I incur a penalty? And if so, what was it!

The only valid form of entry is via email to melsolegolf@gmail.com. Get your answers in quickly to win a free one-hour lesson at either the SC, NC, or NY locations. Good Luck!
