Accumulations of Loose Impediments:
Purpose. At certain times of the year piles of loose impediments such as leaves, seeds or acorns may make it difficult for a player to find or play their ball. A Committee can choose to treat such piles of loose impediments in the general area or in a bunker as ground under repair from which free relief is allowed under Rule 16.1.
This Local Rule may not be used for penalty areas as relief is not available for abnormal course conditions in penalty areas.
The Local Rule should be limited to the hole(s) where problems are created by such loose impediments and should be withdrawn as soon as conditions allow.
Model Local Rule F-14
"During play of the [holes 1 thru 18], any ground with temporary accumulations of [Leaves] in the general area or in a bunker is treated as ground under repair from which free relief is allowed under Rule 16.1.
Bunker Filled with Temporary Water
Purpose. If a bunker or multiple bunkers are filled with temporary water, free relief under Rule 16.1c may not be sufficient to allow for fair play as players may be limited to taking maximum available relief or relief outside the bunker for one penalty stroke. A Committee can choose to treat certain bunkers as ground under repair in the general area so that free relief is allowed outside the bunker.
The Committee should only use this Local Rule for specifically identified bunkers and is not authorized to make a Local Rule providing generally that all bunkers filled with temporary water are ground under repair. The rationale for this is that individual bunkers may change from being completely flooded to partially flooded during the round and it would be inappropriate for some players to get free relief from a bunker treated as ground under repair in the general area, whereas other players have to treat it as a bunker as it is not completely flooded at the time their ball is in it,
- The new Gazebos are immovable obstructions, free drop from stance or intended line of swing (No line-of-sight relief).
- If your ball is lost in Casual water (excluding penalty areas), take a free drop where you last crossed the margin of the water, keeping that point in line with the Flag, with no limit to how far back you drop.
- A ball found within, or stance affected by, Casual water should be dropped to the nearest point of relief not nearer the hole.
Please leave Rakes back inside Bunkers.- New Ponds are now staked, use relevant penalty area Rule. Note the scale of mixed Penalty area on 14th/7th in photo below.
