Cal Poly's Kappa Mu Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi would like to invite you to participate in the 5th Annual SLO Tour Golf Tournament on April 26th, 2008 at the Monarch Dunes Golf Club.

The 1:00pm Shotgun Start tournament will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County and The Work Training Programs of San Luis Obispo.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters is seeking to launch a second "High School Bigs" program in San Luis Obispo County with the contribution from this event. This mentor program will reach more at-risk children as well as develop mentors at an early age in our more economically disadvantaged neighborhoods by matching elementary students with high school mentors.

Work Training Programs is dedicated to helping people with disabilities and disadvantages to live and work in our community with dignity and independence. They are currently in urgent need of funding for their transitional living program in SLO County, which is a six-resident home and living program that offer essential living skills for those who are making the momentous leap to living on their own.

If you'd like to participate in or help sponsor this event, visit the SLO Tour website at www.slodeltasig.com/slotour/.

The USGA has announced several changes to the Rules of Golf effective next year.

>> USGA Rules of Golf Changes for 2008

Beginning in 08, a golfer will be allowed to lift a ball for identification in a bunker or water hazard (Rule 12-2 and 15-3). However, there now will be a two-stroke penalty for playing a wrong ball from a hazard. In match play, the penalty will be loss of hole.

The penalty for the accidental deflection of a ball by a player, his partner or either of their caddies or equipment will be reduced to one plenty stroke in both match play and stroke play (Rule 19.2).

Another notable change is the reduction in penalty for carrying, but not using, a nonconforming club (Rule 4-1). In stroke play, a player will incur a two-stroke penalty per hole (maximum four strokes per round) instead of disqualification.

Also, the definition of 'advice' was changed so that information on distance can be exchanged. Such information is no longer considered 'advice.'

A rule was changed to allow a flagstick to be removed when a ball is in motion.
