Course staff are conducting vertimowing throughout this week in the lead up to the Summer Cup and Opening Days of the Club. As a result preferred lies as per below will be in place.
When any part of a player’s ball touches part of the general area cut to fairway height or less affected by vertimowing, the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from within one scorecard length of the spot of the original ball, not nearer the hole AND within the general area.
In proceeding under this Local Rule, the player must choose a spot to place the ball and use the procedures for replacing a ball under Rules 14.2b(2) and 14.2e.
Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a
Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
