Obstacles, Hazards and Penalties
1. Water Hazards:
• Red Markers: Indicate a lateral water hazard. If your ball enters this area, you have options for relief, typically dropping within two club lengths of where it crossed the margin, or on the opposite side, with a one-shot penalty. • Yellow Markers: Indicate a regular water hazard. If your ball enters this area, you have options for relief, typically dropping behind the hazard on a line from the hole, with a one-shot penalty. • Dropping the Ball: When taking relief, the ball must be dropped from knee height. (The specific relief options and dropping procedure will be
explained and demonstrated in a session).
2. Out of Bounds (OB) : • Marked with white stakes or white lines. If your ball lands outside these stakes
or lines, it is considered out of bounds. You must
re-hit from your last position (where you played the previous shot) and will face a one-shot penalty.
(Various scenarios will be explained and drawn in a session).
