Local Rules

(Without Penalty)
  1. Bunkers
    Loose stones in bunkers are movable obstructions. Rule 24-1 applies
  2. Pop-up Sprinklers
    All pop-up sprinkler heads are immovable obstructions and relief from interference by them may be obtained under Rule 24-2. In addition, if such an obstruction on or within two clublengths of the putting green of the hole being played intervenes between the ball and the hole, then the player may obtain relief, without penalty, in the following circumstances:
    a) If the ball lies on the putting green, it may be lifted and placed, not nearer the hole, at the nearest point at which intervention by the obstruction is avoided.
    b) If the ball lies off the putting green (but not in a hazard) and is within two club lengths of the intervening obstruction, it may be lifted, cleaned and dropped as in clause (a) above.

    All Club Competitions and Matches MUST be played from the competition tees (White & Red tee markers) and must commence from the first tee. [top]
