Course Info-Local Rules

LOCAL RULE
When a player's ball lies in a part of the general area (fairways and rough) throughout the course, the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from this relief area:

• Reference Point: Spot of the original ball.

• Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: 6 inches from the reference point, but with these limits:

• Limits on Location of Relief Area:

• Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and

• Must be in the general area.

In proceeding under this Local Rule, the player must choose a spot to place the ball and use the procedures for replacing a ball under Rules 14.2b(2) and 14.2e.
NB During this period of preferred lies throughout the general area, scores cannot be submitted for handicap purposes either from general play scores or competitions.

LOCAL RULE – BUNKERS
ALL BUNKERS ARE IN PLAY EXCEPT THOSE MARKED AS GUR
The bunkers which are currently Ground Under Repair are as follows: *
*Hole 1 – right hand bunker short of the green
Hole 3 – the 2 bunkers just off the left-hand side of the fairway beyond the dog leg. (The fairway bunker and greenside bunker are in play.)
Hole 15 – the 2 greenside bunkers on the right-hand side of the green. (The bunker to the left of the green is in play.)

Relief when entire bunker is defined as Ground Under Repair
When a bunker is defined as ground under repair, the entire bunker is treated as part of the general area.
If your ball is in a bunker that the Committee has defined as ground under repair, you may take free relief outside the bunker by dropping a ball in this relief area:
• Reference Point: The nearest point of complete relief in the general area (and outside the bunker).
• Size of Relief Area measured from Reference Point: One club-length, but with these limits:
• Limits on Location of Relief Area:
 Must be in the general area,
 Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
 There must be complete relief from all interference by the ground under repair.
As such, relief can be taken under Rule 16.1.
