LOCAL RULES

All: As your Tournament Committee has decided that in upcoming play days they will be allowing the Local Rule for Preferred Lies, and the Local Rule for relief from Goose poop I have attached both these Local Rules with this e mail.  I hope this helps you. -Hilary 

PREFERRED LIES, WINTER RULES

When temporary abnormal conditions are widespread on the course and may interfere with fair play the Committee can choose to adopt a Local Rule for Preferred lies.  

LOCAL RULE E-3 states:

When any part of a player’s ball touches part of the General Area cut to fairway height or less, the player may take free relief by placing the original ball or another ball and playing it from this relief area.  

The relief area is decided by the Committee* such as one club length or one score card length, and the reference point for relief is the spot where the original ball lies.

*Be certain to check with our Tournament Committee before play the distance they have approved for you to use for relief.

ANIMAL DUNG

There are two options for using this Local Rule.  

Treating the poop as a “loose impediment” which, if you moved your ball when removing the poop, you would incur a one stroke penalty or,

Treating the poop as “Ground under Repair” which is the better option.  No penalty.

LOCAL RULE F-12 states:

At the player’s option goose dung may be treated either as:

A loose impediment that may be removed under Rule 15.1. (One penalty stroke if ball is moved.) Or

Ground under Repair from which free relief is allowed under Rule 16.1. (One club length relief no closer to the hole.)

Go sign up for the remainder of the year, these are open for sign ups on CE now. 

As to today, the game was Mutt and Jeff. The 5 shortest holes counted net (5, 8, 11, 16, 17) and 4 longest holes (1, 6, 9, 10). The playing conditions are on the

tougher side, so rest of the year will be winter rules through the green. This also includes moving away from tree roots or goose poop. 

We had 19 ladies play today, so split that into 3 flights.
