take a penalty stroke, you get 2 club lengths.)
16. Lost and Out of Bounds – A ball is out of bounds when all of it lies beyond the inside
line of Out of Bounds Markers. A ball is lost if not found within 5 minutes of
searching. If you think a ball may be lost or out of bounds, play a provisional ball. (You
must tell fellow players what you are doing and hit it prior to looking for the first ball.)
Penalty – stroke & distance
Stroke – hitting first shot
Stroke – hitting second shot from original lie
Stroke – penalty stroke
17. No Penalty Areas – Flower beds - move back 2 club lengths but do not improve line.
Staked trees - take swing relief and move ball so that tree is not in line of flight of ball.
Rocks behind #3 green and screen on #9 tee - drop but do not improve line. Area behind
#15 green - go to nearest point of relief and drop. Ball landing on wrong green or tee -
move back. In all of these situations, you cannot move the ball closer to the hole.
18. All flights will use the “one-drop” rule in the rough. This means that at any time, before
each shot, you have the option to hit the ball as it lies or take a drop (1 club length)
under USGA rules without penalty. No drop will be allowed when your ball lies in a
hazard or within a club length of a tree trunk, fence or an out of bounds marker. (Your
longest club should be used to determine the distance.) When a ball is allowed to be
dropped, it shall not be moved nearer to the hole; to get relief from a natural
obstruction; from rough to fairway; or to any cut of the green. If the ball rolls closer to
the hole or more than 2 clubs lengths away when dropped, drop again. If it still rolls
closer to the hole or away, you may place it. This rule is to be used in the rough or
another fairway. You may still roll the ball in your own fairway (1 open score card
length).
19. Play front (Red) or “Ladies” tee markers at all times.
20. In case of “casual water” or other unnatural conditions on the green, you may place your
ball at the nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole.
21. If you miss the ball, you must count it as a stroke.
22. Soft spikes are required.
