• Must hit 1st ball from the tee – if the ball enters the water, the member is allowed to
  • (a) take to drop zone (#1 or #8 near the bridge) – the player is hitting 3rd shot or
  • (b) carry over for a 3-stroke penalty and play from the other side within a reasonable distance – the player is hitting their 4th shot.
• You may NOT exchange your ball with a ” water ” ball prior to hitting over the water.
  – Take one club length relief (no closer to the hole) from trees marked with yellow ribbons or staked, if stance or swing will be affected – no penalty stroke – doesn’t apply to line of sight.

 Local Rule Hole #18 – Preferred Lie

• Hole #18, between the 150-yard marker and the hazard, and on the fairway. If your ball comes to rest in this area, you may take relief without penalty.
• Mark, lift, clean and place your ball within two club-lengths no closer to the hole.
• If your ball comes to rest in the hazard you should drop the ball and then proceed under the above rule.
• Turf Mat Rules:  If a ball comes to rest in the water (regular penalty applies) or the area before the water hazard that is mostly clay with rough patches of grass, there are three options:
  • Hit the ball from where it lies, or
  • Move the ball back to a nice patch of grass (no penalty) or
  • Use a turf mat as a drop zone (no penalty). Just place the ball on the mat and place your feet either on or off the mat.

Play “ready” golf.

• “Ready golf” is a term used in stroke play, which indicates that players should play when they are ready to do so, rather than strictly following the procedure of “farthest from the hole should play first” in the Rules of Golf.
