SPECIAL RELIEF RULES For every event, the maximum score per hole is 10. Once a player has taken 9 strokes and not holed out, pick up without finishing the hole, and score the maximum of 10 strokes on the scorecard. The Professional Staff will post event scores for handicap purposes. Relief for 9-Hole golfers hitting into the ponds on the 13th and 18th holes of the North Course and the 3rd and 5th holes of the South Course: If the balls lands in the water on the first attempt, the player may drop the ball no more than two club lengths from the other side of the pond in a line in which the ball entered the pond. Count the stroke into the water, plus one penalty stroke, plus a second penalty stroke for not hitting over the pond.
Example: 3rd shot in the water, 4th out, 5th to carry, and now hitting 6th shot on the other side of the water. Remember to take one penalty stroke for each ball in the water.
Note: For handicap posting purposes, players should use the maximum score for posting (par + 2 + 100% handicap strokes) on that hole.
A player may deem a ball unplayable and take relief anywhere on the golf course except penalty areas. The options for taking relief are as follows:
-Player may drop and play from location of the previous stroke – one-stroke penalty. -Player may drop within two club lengths of the original ball’s location, no closer to the hole – one-stroke penalty. -Player may draw a line from the hole to where the ball is located and drop anywhere behind that point, keeping this point between you and the hole – one-stroke penalty. If a player is taking relief for an unplayable ball inside a bunker, they have the additional option to drop outside the bunker on the line going straight back from the hole through the spot of the original ball – two-stroke penalty.
REGULAR RELIEF RULES
OUT OF BOUNDS: If you hit your ball out of bounds or lose it (you have 3 minutes to search for your ball before it becomes lost), your only option is to go back to the spot of your previous stroke to play under stroke and distance. If a player thinks their ball may be lost or out of bounds, they may play a Provisional Ball to save time.
REGULAR PENALTY AREA (YELLOW):
1.Play again from the previous spot Drop the ball behind the hazard in a straight line, provided the spot at which their ball crossed the edge of the penalty area remains directly between the dropping point and the hole 2.
