Please report immediately to scoring when you have completed your round.  You have left the scoring area when you have attested your electronic scorecard.

Pace of Play

Rulings

If a Referee is not readily available, you may call Bill Solomon or Jess Miller (cell numbers at bottom of page).  You may play two golf balls under rule 20.1c(3). Before playing either ball, you must announce which ball’s score you want to use, and you must finish the hole with both balls and you must report the facts to the Committee at scoring. 

LOCAL RULES / CONDITIONS OF NOTE

Out of Bounds (OB)

OB is defined by the course side edge at ground level of white stakes, split rail fence posts, property fence posts, boundary fence posts and the course side edge of sidewalks.  If your ball crosses a public road and ends up on another hole, your ball is OB.  

Abnormal Course Conditions (GUR)

GUR is the area from which optional free relief is available, is defined by white lines, colored stakes with rope or colored flags or by specific identification.  GUR includes areas of unusual damage including area of cart traffic or seasonal conditions such as tire ruts that are muddy or depressed in ground.  Areas of bare dirt, brown grass, unprepared sand, rocky soi, tree stumps and roots are not GUR. If your ball, intended swing or intended stance is interfered with by animal holes and cast material, whether flattened or not, you may take free relief.

Automotive Transportation and Caddies 

Boys and girls ages 10 & under may ride carts.   Caddies are allowed as long as the caddie is not a parent of the player.

Penalty Areas

Penalty Areas are identified by red stakes and by dense vegetation.   Dense vegetation consists of high grass, bushes, vines, and trees growing closely together.  All Penalty Areas are red.  The edges of the Penalty Areas are defined by (in order of priority): (1) red lines; (2) the mow line between the rough (grass) and the higher grass/reeds or dense vegetation; (3) the edge of the grass in the rough (not the higher natural grasses); or (4) where the ground falls towards water.  When a Penalty Area is defined only on one side, the Penalty Area extends to infinity.  When the other side of a Penalty Area is on the course, you may take equidistant penalty relief.  No dropping zones are provided.  

Immovable Obstructions (IO)

IOs include cart paths including cement or rubber curbs (dirt, gravel or paved) and adjacent worn areas, landscaped areas tied into cart paths, hole monuments, buildings, utility boxes, drain grates, pipes, boulders, benches, water fountains and wooden/rock/stone walls or support for teeing areas.

Additional Local Rules: 

• IOs close to Putting Green: You may take free relief from interference by immovable obstructions on or close to the putting green that are on the line of play. IO must be within two club-lengths of the putting green and within two club-lengths of your f ball.
• If you putt your ball from the putting green and your ball hits you, your club used to make the putt or an animal defined as a loose impediment (worms and insects that can be easily removed), the stroke counts and you must play your ball as it lies.
• If you are taking back-on-the-line relief, you will not incur a penalty if your ball may come to rest outside the relief area as long as your ball comes to rest within one club-length of where your ball initially touched the course.
• If your club is broken or significantly damaged during a round by you or your caddie and you did not cause the damage from your abuse of the club, you may replace the club during your round.
