Subject: Status of a Dog?


My father fancies himself a rules expert and we were having a
discussion today. I recently got a new dog who is very well behaved.
I thought it would be fun to take him with me on the course, as I've
heard they do a lot on the other side of the pond.

We talked about what that status of the dog would be under the ROG if
he grabbed a ball and moved it. I thought he would be considered an
outside agency and the ball could be replaced w/o penalty. He thought
that the dog would be considered my caddie/assistant and that I would
be assessed various penalties under Rule 18.

Personally, I think my father is crazy. Thoughts?

I think you recently wasted $175 if he's giving you answers
like that.

That's what I tried to tell him at dinner last night but he was
convinced.

I just put this on his desk and he's think that since I brought the
dog and likely trained it to move my ball closer to the hole then I
should be penalized.

I think he's developing alzheimer's.

I think he's developing "a little knowledge is a
dangerous thing" syndrome.

Ask your dad to explain to you *how* you would benefit
from the dog (outside agency) moving the ball,
whether at rest (Rule 18-1), or in motion (Rule 19-1),
nearer to the hole.

Can't be anything but an outside agency. Replace with no penalty.

When we had an RSG outing here in Jackson once, Eric was putting while we
were being harassed by a young (*ENERGETIC*) Jack Russell Terrier that
stuck it's nose into the hole during Eric's putt...so what happens if Eric
had hit the mutt with the putt, preventing the putt from going into the
hole?

I had a dog take a ball off the green and swallow it once, long before
anyone got there to know precisely where the ball was. What's the ruling
there?

I think that you might have to follow the pooch for a day, or so, and see
where the ball comes to rest, though your playing partners and any group
behind you might decide to "play through." Hey, that term might also work for
the dog's digestive system... or maybe not. I do not know if you get to "lift
& clean" though.

I would have to agree with you under the outside agency rule. I recall a few
years ago at the players championship a bird picked up a ball on the 17th
green and dropped it in the water. The player was allowed to place a new
ball at the closest possible spot as could be determined by the officials
and onlookers without penalty.

But have to say as a ranger at my course I hate people bringing their dogs.
They (the dogs) crap on the course and the owners dont clean it up...just a
thought :-)

There was a course I played where one of the rangers rode around with his
dog every day.

At Brookhaven GC in Dallas, there was a guy who lived in a house behind one
of the greens, and every aftternoon, he and his dog would be out there
chipping. Well, he would be chipping, and the dog would be retrieving his
golf balls. Very well-trained.

Legend had it that there was a golden retriever that lived in one of the
houses along the right side of the 8th hole at Trophy Club here in
Alpharetta, GA who would occasionally dart out into the fairway, pick up a
golf ball, and bring it back to his back yard. I'd played there a few years
and never actually saw it happen, so I didn't really believe the story. Then
one day about a year ago, I saw it with my own eyes. The dog had actually
collected enough balls to pile them up in one nice, neat pile in the woods
between his back yard and the fairway. I don't know whether he was selling
them or not. I was afraid to get close enough to the golf balls to find
out, and I didn't figure he could make change. Now THAT would be a good
trick!

You should check with the proshop first before bringing your dog.
Some courses don't allow them because of insurance rules.
I know a guy who had to leave his dog tied up to his
car bumper while he played, even though the course owner
had two big yellow labs which roamed the course at will.
Not sure why the owner's dogs were exempt, but the
insurance company had a rule that no players could
bring a dog along with them.

Hank Haney used to have several large dogs wandering freely
around his "Golf Ranch" north of Dallas. Until the day that
Cargo, the sweetest big old sheepdog you can imagine, bit
a little girl in the face. The girl made the mistake of trying
to hug Cargo while Cargo was finishing off an ice cream
cone the girl dropped on the ground. I was there
to see it happen.

Hank soon had the dogs fenced in pens. And there WAS
a lawsuit.

Oh, I would get in touch with the course, definitely. It would be
rude just to show out and expect to have the dog allowed out.

Rule 19-1b. Eric gets another putt.

Rule 18-1 (and dec 18-1/5). Make your best guess at the spot,
substitute ball allowed.

Sorry, but you'd have to know the course, neighborhood, and dog
to understand, but the dog was really in no danger of any of those
things happening. But keep imagining things.

C'mon Bill. That kind of thinking is like "I'll just be a second, and
leave my two year old in the car while I get some milk, it's not that
hot".

Those aren't imagined things, they're all possibilities. But then you
and your bud may not have much attachment to dogs.

Maybe I should have gone into more detail on how he did it, and the
nature of the course
and parking lot, etc., but the dog was in a safe place on a grassy
area, and not a nuisance
to anyone.

Not worried about him being a nuisance. He's tied to a car, and has
plenty of water? No problem with other dogs in the area attacking
him, when he's tethered with limited defense? Someone walks up to pet
him, and since he's pissed he bites them? Available for someone to
just undo him and split? ( Lately there have been several instances in
this area of dogs being taken, and then returned for the rewards
offered). It was just a bad idea for you buddy, Bill.

LOL.

OK Bobby, so since you know so much about what happened,
let me ask you:
- what breed of dog was it?
- what was the temperature?
- how long was the dog left tied up?
- how private was the location where the dog was left?
- what was the nature of the community that the golf
course is located in?

Do you think these factors may make a difference?

But OK, keep hurling the insults.

No insult intended to you Bill. At best, It was a stupid thing for
your friend to do. Period.

well i too got a dog and about two weeks after i got him, my boyfriend
and I wanted to go play a round of golf. As we were getting ready to
leave he is standing by the door and gives us those puppy eyes that all
dog owners hate but love. So we called the golf course to see if we
could take him, they sad it was cool just as along as he doesn't damage
the course. At about the 16th hole me boyfriend's old school mate saw
us and wanted to join. His name was John and as he was teeing off the
dog stands in front of him and takes the ball right off the tee LOL.
The manager was driving by and John , my boyfriends friend, got mad and
asked the manager what the rules were... The manager said that the
ball could be replace with no penalty in a situation like that. Did
the manager know what he was talking about... I Dont Know
