Ground Under Repair (GUR)
Ground under repair is indicated by blue stakes, a sign and/or white lines and is a No Play Zone. Relief must be taken in accordance with Rule 16.1f.

As an additional option, when a player’s ball lies in, or there is interference from, the marked ground under repair, the player may take relief by dropping the ball in the designated dropping zone.

The dropping zone is a relief area as referred to in Rule 14.3. The ball must be dropped in the dropping zone and must come to rest within it.

Immovable Obstructions Within Two Club-Lengths of the Putting Green
If an immovable obstruction intervenes on the player’s line of play and the ball lies in the general area within two club-lengths of the obstruction, relief may be taken in accordance with Rule 16.1b.

Holes of Temporary (Winter) Greens
The holes of temporary (winter) greens are immovable obstructions and relief may be taken in accordance with Rule 16.1b.Temporary greens are to be treated as wrong greens and relief must be taken.

Local Rules

Holes and Marks Caused by the Removal of Prunus and Other Plants and Shrubs
These areas are located between the trees and not on the closely mown areas of the course. In short, the ball must be played as it lies.
If you wish to declare your ball unplayable, Rule 19.2 applies. There are three ways to take relief, each with a one-stroke penalty:

-Stroke-and-distance relief

-Back-on-the-line relief

-Lateral relief

Penalty for Breach of Local Rules
General penalty: Match Play – loss of hole; Stroke Play – two strokes.

Please note: Areas where turf has been removed (bare, sandy areas) are part of the general area. Play the ball as it lies!
