About the Tournament

Since you’ve found your way here, you now realize The Mayor’s Tournament is on the internets. Heck, you may even be able to find it if you use The Google.

We hope you enjoy the central repository of all things Mayoral in local golf tournaments.

We will continue to update the website with new features, Ask Tony answers and restaurant reviews. Also we’ll be adding golf videos and tips for those of you striving to win the first prize trophy this year.

Keep coming back, and don’t be shy about paying for the 2009 Mayor’s Tournament online…or even think about sponsoring a hole for a measly $100.

Thank you for your participation and we look forward to hearing from you.

Letter From the Mayor

As we say so long to 2008 and hello to 2009, we look forward to another successful year at The Mayor’s Tournament.

With a bad economy and a new president, we all should look to what we can do for our fellow man.

We at The Mayor’s Tournament feel privileged to have our corporate sponsors and personal sponsors being able to donate money each year to another children’s organization.

2008 saw the Empty Stocking Fund receiving the full $500 that we were able to give through the kindness and thoughtfulenss of each player.

Though we had less players thn in past years, I feel very positive that we will be able to break our record of $750 this year.

Our tournament will be held on June 20th. The cost will remain a cheap $75 per man.

As you know, any extra donations are appreceiated and will be accepted.  Rememer what we do is for the children in our communities, the kids who need a helpful hand.

This is what keeps me going each year.

I also want to give kudos to Julie Doerring. Her help has made my transition a lot easier.

Again, this is a challenge, but the ide of being able to help my fellow man keeps me going.

Thanks to all sponsors and participants. Without you, this wouldn’t be possible.

See you soon!

Joe

Golfin’ with Fun Guy

Dear Tony,

On a recent round I found my ball resting up against the stem of a large mushroom. I didn’t know what to do.

When I addressed the my ball, I discovered that I couldn’t see it because it was hidden under the mushroom cap. I didn’t know if I would be able to remove the mushroom without a penalty or take a free drop cause I couldn’t see the ball.

Outside of eating the mushroom, what was the best thing to do?

Mario in the Sky with Diamonds

Dear Mario in da Sky,

Let’s just say in a situation like dat, you are up Sheetz Creek, and you ain’t holdin’ no paddle, my friend.

According to Rule 12-1 you are not entitled to see your ball when making a stroke. No entitlements (unless you’re Tony S). Since the funghi was fixed and growing it wasn’t a loose impediment, like a dead body on the course. Therefore you can’t move it.

Either play the ball or take two strokes, one for you and one for the penalty.

Don’t Tees Me

Dear Tony,

The other day as I walked up to the 9th hole, I noticed a player before me had left a performance tee on the ground.

I recognized it and knew it was legal, so I decided to leave it right where it was and tee my ball on it.

My friend said that what I was doing was illegal because technically I was using another player’s equipment.

Tony, was I right or what?

Tee’d Off in Acworth

Hey, Tee’d Off in Acwert,

Da main rule in golf, like in life, states you never, ever touch another man’s club or his woman. But your question is his tee, so let’s get to that.

Rule 4-4a prohibits a player from borrowing clubs from another on the course. However, rule 5-1-5 allows a player to borrow things like balls, towells, gloves and tees.

As long as the tee is as legal as my chop shop, you were right to use it.
