Obstacles, Hazards and Penalties (Continued)
1. Bunkers (Sand Traps) : • Sand bunkers can be
found throughout the course. We distinguish between greenside bunkers (close to the green) and fairway bunkers (a fair distance from the green). Although bunkers are called a
hazard, you do not get penalized for your ball ending up in a bunker. • Important Rule: You are not allowed to ground your club (touch the sand with your club) in the sand behind the ball or in front of it before your swing. 2. Ground Under Repair (GUR) : • GUR is a part of the course that has been marked with white lines or stakes around an area that is temporarily unplayable or under maintenance. Free
relief will be granted in these areas if your ball
ends up within the marked boundary.
