Local Rule Update: Ropes and Posts as Movable Obstructions

Effective immediately, all ropes and posts on the course are classified as movable obstructions under Rule 15.2.

Players are permitted to move ropes and posts that interfere with their stance, swing, or intended line of play.

If a rope or post is removed and subsequently interferes with another player’s play, it must be replaced in a similar position after use.

No penalty will be applied for moving these objects, provided it does not breach any other rules of play.

This update is intended to improve course navigation and ensure fair play without obstruction interference.

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 The putting green that has been replaced by a temporary putting green automatically becomes a wrong green because it is no longer the putting green for the hole the player is playing.

Model Local Rule D-2

Any putting green that has been replaced by a temporary putting green is a wrong green and free relief from interference must be taken under Rule 13.1f.

Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a.
