Winter
Rules
Play
the ball where it lies. Any player
wishing to improve his lie can do so with a one stroke penalty using the
unplayable lies rule described below.
Lost
Balls
For
a ball lost anywhere on the course, a player will drop a ball with a one stroke
penalty anywhere along a line on which the shot was hit. Players should not take longer than 2 minutes
to locate a ball.
Balls
Out of Bounds
For
balls deemed to be out of bounds on the right hand side of holes 1, 2, 6, 8, or
9, a player will drop a ball with a one stroke penalty anywhere along a line
from where the shot was hit to where it went out of bounds.
For
balls hit out of bounds over the green on holes 2, 5, 8, or 9, players will
drop within two club lengths of the tree line, closer to the hole, where the
ball crossed the out-of-bounds line. The
ball may be placed closer to the hole in this situation because the shot will
still be difficult and because determining the closest location not closer to
the hole will be difficult and may slow down play.
Balls
in Woods on Hole 7
If
a player hits a ball into the woods on hole 7 and does not locate the ball
within one minute, the player will drop a ball with a one stroke penalty
anywhere along a line from where the shot was hit to where it went into the
trees. If a player is able to quickly
locate his ball in the woods, he has the option of hitting the ball where it
lies or taking a drop and one stroke penalty as described above.
Unplayable
Lies
A
player may determine a lie to be unplayable at any time (this most frequently
occurs when a ball is located underneath a pine tree). If a player determines a lie is unplayable,
he will go to the nearest point of relief, not closer to the hole, with
unobstructed access to the fairway (but not necessarily the green). From there, the player would take a drop
within two club lengths, not closer to the hole, with a one stroke penalty.
Number
of Teams
If
enough players are identified to field a ten team league and establish a
reasonable sub list we will have a ten team league. Otherwise we will reduce
the number of teams to eight.
Subs
and Prizes
Subs
will be eligible to win hole prizes.
Subs who have completed 6 rounds or more during the season will be
eligible for the year end flight tournament.
Scrambles
and Hole 8
During
league scrambles, all players will hit from the upper tee box when playing hole 8.
