YARDAGE/GREEN READING BOOKS: USGA approved yardage/green reading books are allowed to use during tournament play.

DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES: A player may obtain distance information by use of a distance-measuring device. If a player uses a distance measuring device to gauge or measure other conditions (gradient, wind speed, temperature, etc.), the player is in breach. 

ONE BALL RULE IN EFFECT: A player must play with the same brand, make and model golf ball that he starts a round with. 

PENALTY AREAS:  Margin of penalty areas defined by red or yellow paint and/or stake to stake. 

OUT OF BOUNDS:  Out of bounds is defined by white stakes, perimeter fencing, walls, white dots, white lines tying white stakes to perimeter fencing, the inside edge of paved public road curbing and the non-golf course side of the water’s edge of the hazard when tied into by white stakes and/or the inside edge of paved public road curbing.  NOTE: A ball which crosses a public road is out of bounds, even though it may lie on another part of the golf course. 

GROUND UNDER REPAIR:  Defined by white lines. French drains are ground under repair.  

IMMOVABLE OBSTRUCTIONS CLOSE TO THE PUTTING GREEN: Relief may be taken. In addition, if a ball lies through the green and an immovable obstruction on or within two club-lengths of the putting green and within two-club lengths of the ball intervenes on the line of play between the ball and the hole, the player may take relief as follows: The ball must be lifted and dropped at the nearest point to where the ball lay that (a) is not nearer the hole, (b) avoids intervention and (c) is not in a hazard or on a putting green. The ball may be cleaned when lifted. Relief is also available if the player’s ball lies on the putting green and an immovable obstruction within two club-lengths of the putting green intervenes on his line of putt. Relief may be taken in accordance with the previous statement, except that it must be placed at the nearest point of relief, which may be off the putting green.  

ACCIDENTAL MOVEMENT OF A BALL ON A PUTTING GREEN: When a player’s ball lies on the putting green, there is no penalty if the ball or ball-marker is accidentally moved by the player, his partner, his opponent, or any of their caddies or equipment. The moved ball or ball-marker must be replaced as provided in Rules 13.1. This Local Rule applies only when the player’s ball or ball-marker lies on the putting green and any movement is accidental. 

DOUBT AS TO PROCEDURE: When during play of a hole a competitor who is doubtful of his rights or procedure may, without penalty, play a second ball in accordance with Rule 20-1. The competitor must announce that he intends to play two balls and which ball he wishes to count if the Rules permit. The competitor MUST report the facts of the situation to the Rules Committee before returning his scorecard.  If the competitor fails to do so, the competitor is disqualified. 

PACE OF PLAY:  Acceptable pace has been set at 4:28. Any group over this pace and out of position will be warned and timed back into position. Penalties will be applied in accordance with the GOLFINRED Pace of Play Policy.
