Rule of the Week - 16-2/3


16-2/3 Casting Shadow on Ball Overhanging Hole

Q:A player's ball came to rest overhanging the edge of the hole. The player walked up to the hole and cast his shadow on the ball, believing that this would cause the grass to wilt and his ball to fall into the hole. Was the player in breach of Rule 1-2 (Exerting Influence on Ball) when he cast his shadow on the ball?

A:No.

Support Croagh Patrick Challenge


The Mayo Autism Action charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.

As a loving father of two beautiful and healthy daughters aged 2 & 5, I am very appreciative for the blessing of their good health and well being, but I do not take for granted this good fortune and wish to hopefully avail of your financial assistance in my fund raising efforts for Mayo Autism Action which is of critical importance to some close friends of mine.

It will be my third consecutive year to take part in the Croagh Patrick 7 day Challenge from March 11-17 (and I thank those of you who have supported me in the last 2 years) on Ireland's iconic Mayo Mountain and having reached the summit 10 times in the 7-Days in 2010 I am going that extra yard again this year and will climb the 751m to the Summit 15 Times in the 7-Days. 

But in 2011 I will not be stopping at that to try and entice your support as I will also tackle the World's tallest free standing mountain and Africa's highest peak, KILIMANJARO, from May 6-15 along with some other dedicated Mayo Autism Action Fundraisers. In total the combined 15 x Croagh Patrick + Kilimanjaro Summits shall come to just over 17500m, that's akin to climbing Everest twice.

I would love to think that I could raise a €1 for every Metre climbed but I am fully aware of the tough times we all find ourselves in and therefore I have set what I believe to be a modest and achievable Target of €10,000.

Please read a few words about the charity that I have chosen to support below.
