General Rules

 

• Nearest Relief - The point for taking relief from interference (e.g.: ground under repair, boxed trees, staked trees, cart paths, sprinkler heads) is the point on the course nearest to where the ball lies, not nearer to the hole and which allows player a stance and swing.
• Ground Under Repair - Will be determined by total agreement of the group.  If agreement cannot be reached ball must be played as is.
