This is the sister course of Sky Hill further down the Kochi coast, though it may be better described as a rich uncle due to the stunning views of the bay that I never tired of. It's laid out on two spurs into what is almost a mini inland sea near the port town of Susaki. From one spur we looked across at what appeared to be a terrifying par three up a steep hill to a green protected by a stone wall. It turned out to be a short par 4, an easy lay up off the tee followed by a wedge up to the green (in theory!). The clubhouse was fittingly bright and spacious for such a location and the lunch options included interesting steak combinations enjoyed with a backdrop of Kites wheeling at eye level from outside our window seat. This is a spectacular golf course for those who are not necessarily big hitters, but like to pit their wits against a variety of grains, gradients and visual deceptions.

What happens if your ball strikes another players ball? Golfing Rules, Seriously!

On the course this past weekend, I putt from just off the green and my ball struck my playing partners ball, knocking it closer to the hole.

After a quick giggle, we began to discuss the ruling, 'I'll play from there and its a one-shot penalty for you' my friend said. 'I was off the green' I said, 'Doesn't matter' he said. Right, I said. 'Hang on, and I'll consult the rule book'.

Luckily, I had The R&A's Rules of Golf on my phone (Well worth a download and it's FREE)

What happens if I ground my club in a bunker? The new rules of golf explained

In 2020, the US Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) made several changes to the rules of golf.

One major change was to the "drop procedure" when a ball is lost or out of bounds. Players are now allowed to drop the ball from shoulder height, rather than knee height, making the process more consistent and less prone to mistakes. Another change was to the rule regarding penalty strokes. Players will no longer be penalized for accidentally moving a ball on the green, such as when marking or lifting it.

Additionally, players are now allowed to repair almost any damage to the course, such as spike marks on the green. The changes also include simplifying the rules for bunkers, allowing players to touch or move loose impediments...
