Over the weekend, a golfer's routine swing in the rough at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine, Calif., struck a rock. Not so different from the way you play, right? Only this time, the impact caused a spark, and the spark set off a blaze that eventually covered 25 acres, according to the Steven Buck, General Manager of Shady Canyon Golf Course, and required the efforts of 150 Orange County firefighters, writes the Associated Press.

Now that sounds like fun ... setting the golf course on fire...
So that fire brings on a hole lot of questions regarding the rules .

Is fire considered a temporary obstruction such as temporary water ? Where did the poor guy have to drop his ball ? Did he find his ball back ? If your ball melts during a round , can you replace it ?

But most of all ... what was his penalty ? :)

I think I played my worst round ever today ..

There's a couple of courses around Antwerp and somehow we never managed to play at Ternesse before... today we finally managed ...

The weather has been pretty dramatic for the past couple of weeks , so I wasn't really expecting a course in good state.. I was expecting temporary water on the fairways etc. (On days like this you really don't want to play at Bossenstein) .But they had announced good weather for today ..

Due to the not so great weather I hadn't played for a while

So let's start with the good news... we stayed dry ... not a single raindrop... and we even saw some sunshine.

My first 4 holes were ok .. I was playing my handicap as expected.. but then things started going downhill...
I missed a couple of shots and not a single put dropped... over the course of the day I had about 6 puts that lipped out and 2 that made a 360 turn before the dropped in the cup..

My shots were mostly first grass.. then ball and therefore I didn't have any distance ... most of my shots were about 60-80% of their regular distance ... when we finally figured that it was my ball placement a couple of good shots came back but there were fading way more than usually .. so I missed even more fairways ...

A round to quickly forget ...
