LOCAL RULE FOR STROKE AND DISTANCE PENALTIES IN EFFECT
The Local Rules and Conditions of Competition have been updated to reflect the current revisions within the rules of golf and our competitions committee has also decided to adopt the Local Rule for a Ball that is Lost or Out of Bounds (E-5) for this event.
This Local Rule does not prevent you from playing a provisional ball and in most cases it is still wise to do so. This local rule is not available to the first ball when you put a provisional ball into play.
If you have questions on this local rule, please ask staff prior to your round.
