LOCAL RULES

Temporary Local Rule:

The areas of the course that are being affected by the installation of the new irrigation system (areas of the course not yet healed) are no play zones that are to be treated as abnormal course conditions. Free relief must be taken from interference by the no play zones under Rule 16.1b. Please play from your nearest point of relief.  It is difficult to define all areas that are abnormal course conditions with white lines or markings. Golfers should use their own best judgment to determine if free relief must be taken as per the rule above. 

D-2
Status of Putting Green When Temporary Putting Green Is Used
Purpose. There may be times when a putting green for a hole cannot be used for some reason, for example due to bad weather, or for reasons related to repair or maintenance. When this is the case, the Committee may wish to prepare a temporary putting green and put a Local Rule in place to define this as the putting green used for that hole. The putting green that has been replaced by a temporary putting green automatically becomes a wrong green because it is no longer the putting green for the hole the player is playing.
