Local Rules
- Play from the blue tees.
- Maximum score on a hole is a 9.
- 30cm preferred lies on fairways only. A free drop is available from any sandy or bare area on fairways only.
- Mud encrusted balls may be lifted cleaned and exactly replaced in the general sections of the course.
- On the 12th, if your tee shot ends in one of the sandy patches in the middle of the fairway you can take a free drop using ‘unusual course condition’ provisions.
- Balls coming to rest in wheel and tyre tracks in the general area of the course (fairways and rough) may be lifted, cleaned and dropped without penalty.
- The collapsed bank in front of the 16th green up to the safety fence is part of the penalty area. If your ball enters that area, then it is in the penalty area and a compulsory penalty stroke must be taken following proper yellow penalty area drop provisions.
For safety reasons, you are not permitted to enter this cordoned off section at all even if your ball is visible. If you do so, then you are automatically disqualified. Please stop any person you see about to break this local rule.
- Nearest the pin on the 7th hole and a drive and pitch for Women on the 11th.
- The Oaks Automotive ‘eagles nest’ played on the third (Saturday only).
- The Super Shot will be contested on the 13th hole.
Course Routing
Holes 5 and 9 are still out of play so will play the course using the routing used this week, holes 2* and 3* will replace the 5th and 9th holes respectively.
So the routing is 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 2*, 3*, and finishing on 18.
As the pars are the same then historical integrity of scores will be maintained. Being stroke rounds there will be no worries about the allocation of stableford points.
Record your score on 2* next to 5 on the scorecard and your score for 3* on the scorecard next to 9.
If you are playing a stableford round then use the stroke rating for the replaced holes, ie. use the stroke rating for 5 on 2* and the stroke rating for 9 on 3*. By doing this all strokes from handicaps are properly allocated and don’t require any score manipulation by the match committee after the round. If you are off 14, for instance, then you will receive all of your 14 strokes, and not less as you would if you used the alternative method that some have erroneously applied.
Enter your own scores into the computer on completion of your round and check that your card has both your own and the markers signatures. Marie will be there to help enter scores if you require it.
Best of luck to all.
Play well,
