Chandler Hall's 11th Annual Golf Classic, held at the Trenton Country Club, was a remarkable success. Sponsors, golfers, volunteer committee members and spectators came together to raise over $34,000 for Chandler Hall's long-term care services and hospice program.

Two rain dates couldn't dampen the spirit of participants: 100 golfers joined to enjoy the Country Club's challenging fairways and fast greens. Bill Marsh Ford offered a brand new 2010 Fusion SEL for the Hole-in-One Prize. Each participant received a hybrid golf club. Many won items from the putting contest, annual dinner CBay event and the fabulous silent auction made possible by more than 30 generous donors.

Co-Chair, Tony Petsis, commented, "It is great to see the community rally to support this very worthy cause. Our committee of community volunteers works hard to make this event a success …a direct result of their efforts and generous sponsor support. Every year we ask ourselves: 'What can we do to make this event even better?' I guess you will need to attend next year to find out!"

Chandler Hall extends its sincerest appreciation to all those who supported the event, with special thanks to Championship Sponsor First National Bank & Trust Co. of Newtown, along with our other major sponsors: Johnson, Kendall & Johnson, Anthony Petsis & Associates, MPower Films and William Penn Bank, FSB.

"The 11th Golf Classic, at Trenton County Club, co-chaired by Tony Petsis and Ryan Parry along with a terrific volunteer planning committee, participants and sponsors raised more than ever before. The Golf Classic helps Chandler Hall sustain its quality healthcare services and caring approach, and we're looking forward to doing it again next year." remarked Chandler Hall's CEO, Lynette Killen.

 ALBANY - A golf outing in Albany was held Friday in memory of four local citizens killed in a plane crash earlier this year.

 Michael and Jill Casey and their two children were all passengers in a private plane when it went down off the coast of Belize on February 26th. Michael Casey had been teaching children in the area.

Today's event was at Capital Hills Golf and Country Club. Proceeds will go towards scholarships to help needy students in Belize further their education.

Playing golf is fun, whether playing solo or with others. Having a basic understanding of the game's rules makes it easier to enjoy the experience and improve your skills. In this periodic column, I provide brief explanations of golf rules and answer commonly asked questions.

Question: Kitty and Danny are playing in a tournament. They both hit their balls on the green at the ninth hole. Kitty is away and asks Danny to mark his ball as it is in her putting line. Danny is unable to find his coin marker and proceeds to mark his ball with a tee. Kitty putts and her ball hits the tee. Is there a penalty and must Kitty replace her ball where it hit the tee?

Answer: Because a tee is not considered part of Danny's equipment, Kitty must play her ball as it now lies and there is no penalty on either player.

 

Question: On a later hole, Danny marks his ball with a loose impediment. Kitty says he must use a ball marker, coin or a similar object to mark his ball. Is she correct?

Answer: Although not recommended, a loose impediment is permitted to mark a ball. There is no penalty. (See USGA Decisions on the Rules of Golf, 2010-2011, and 20-1/16.)

As always, have fun playing and practicing the game of golf.
