Left Bunker

As the result of continued heavy rain the left hand bunker bunker on 16 has been marked GUR.

A drop zone has been positioned outside the bunker for relief withoput penalty. The ball may be played from the bunker, but if relief is taken the drop zone must be used.

Drop Zone blue stake – drop 1 club length no nearer the hole.

Out of bounds

The right hand course boundary has been re-marked, and OOB staskes positioned to continue the boundary where the fence has collapsed.

 A Drop Zone is now in play for balls that have crossed outside the boundary of the course, to eliminate the requirement to return to the tee where it is known, or virtually certain, that the ball is lost out of bounds.

Penalty stroke (playing 3)

The green side of the right hand penalty area “Snake Gully” has been correctly marked with yellow stakes.

If relief is taken for any ball, in any of the 3 penalty areas on 16, relief must be taken on the tee side of the penalty area – using ‘back on a line’. Keeping the spot the ball last crossed the margin between you and the pin, regardless which side the ball crossed, as far back as you wish. You must drop the ball on that line, and not a club length either side of the line. Once dropped the ball may roll a club length in any direction, even forward and remain ‘in play’.

Even if it rolls off the green into the penalty area, or bounces off a tree or path into a penalty area, relief must be taken on the tee side of the penalty area.
