Course conditions and pace of play
Local Play Rules
Roll or fluff the ball up to 6 inches everywhere except bunkers.
If standing water in a bunker impedes the shot or stance, lift and place in the same bunker if possible; otherwise place six inches behind the bunker on a similar line.
Use common sense for abnormal public-course conditions and confer with the group before taking relief.
Out of bounds and lost balls are treated as lateral drops for pace of play: drop within two club lengths on the entry/lost-ball line with a one-stroke penalty.
Only regular league members who have paid league dues are eligible for closest-to-pin and longest-putt prize money.
Players should verify the scorecard with the card keeper at the end of the round.
Players 65 and older may play gold tees; all others play white tees.
