General notes

Blue line around greens

If you are in a golf cart, please do not drive it over the blue line marked in front of any green.
Golfers are asked to keep golf carts and buggies off the edges of greens, and to avoid areas where the irrigation work has been performed.

Divots and pitch marks

Please carry a bucket of sand on the course and use it where necessary. Please take the time to repair your divots on fairways and pitch marks on greens and if possible at least one more divot and pitch mark. This will go a long way to keep the course in tip top condition.

While we appreciate members do the right thing, we have many people who use the course that don’t. We thank you all for your additional attention to this.

Fairways

As Winter is now upon us, muddy fairways are more noticeable. Preferred lies of ONE CLUB LENGTH may be taken in the general area of the course, no nearer to the hole.

Tree root relief

Relief may be taken in the general area from a tree root if it interferes with a player’s ball or stance. The tree root is to be treated as GUR and relief taken in accordance with Rule 16.1b. The ball must be dropped at the nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole and within one club length.

Ground under repair (GUR)

Unless specifically stated, players must take relief if their ball lands in all GUR in the general area, in accordance with Rule 16.1a.
Players may take relief from the following in accordance with Rule 16.1a:

• Leaf, stick and mulch piles
• Burnt ash piles
• Any disturbed areas due to tree removal, ground out or cut and standing stumps
• If a ball comes to rest on a tree root, or a tree root interferes with a player’s stance or swing, relief may be taken in accordance with Rule 16.1b

Bunkers

In a bunker, players may lift, rake and place their ball as close as possible to where their ball initially lay in the bunker.

If a players ball comes to rest in a bunker that has pooled water in the base, total relief from the bunker may take in accordance with Rule 16.1a (abnormal course conditions).

The bunkers on the 9th and 13th greens are out of play. Players may drop behind these bunkers no closer to the hole without penalty.

Greens

Any bird damaged, or areas of damage that have been repaired, that are in the line of sight between a players ball and the hole, relief may be taken in accordance with Rule 16.1b. Players may take relief by moving their ball away from the line of sight damage, and no nearer to the hole.

All works associated with the installation of the new irrigation system around the greens are to be treated as GUR. Players must take relief in accordance with Rule 16.1a.
Further to this, players are asked to keep golf carts and buggies off the edges of the greens, and where possible not to step into any sanded areas where irrigation work has been undertaken.

Post and rope barriers

Post and rope barriers are to be treated as immovable obstructions and relief must be taken in accordance with rule 16.1. If your ball hits the post or rope, it must be played as it lies. Players are not allowed to replay the shot.

All players must NOT touch or move the ropes, lower the rope so their buggies can go over or under them. The ropes are there for your protection and to protect the areas that are marked off, to helping maintain grass cover.
Please Do Not ignore them.

Penalty for breach of temporary local rules unless otherwise noted: stroke play: two strokes, match play: loss of hole.
