Standing Local Rules

All stakes, staked trees and tree guards are immovable obstructions and relief must be taken under Rule 16-1. Stakes are not to be removed under any circumstances.

Where a sprinkler, within 2 club lengths of the putting surface, intervenes on the line of play of any ball lying within 2 club lengths of that sprinkler, relief may be taken without penalty by dropping the ball at the nearest point of relief no nearer the hole.

4. (d)The Clubhouse and the paths and gardens surrounding the Clubhouse

In the General Area where a ball is lying in a wheel rut or tyre mark which could unfairly affect play, relief may be taken, without penalty, in accordance with Rule 16-1.

In the General Area, all irrigation equipment is deemed to be an Abnormal Ground Condition. If the ball lies in or touches the condition or when the condition interferes with the player's stance or the area of his intended swing relief must be taken in accordance with Rule 16-1.

If a ball is on a closely mown area or within 2 club lengths of a closely mown area and lies on or so close to an exposed tree root that the player's stance is affected, relief may be taken under Rule 16-1. No relief is available if the player's swing only is affected.

In the general area, if your ball lies within the area being covered by a working sprinkler, free relief may be taken outside that area no closer to the hole.
