Hole #5

Date:  July 18, 2010

Members & Guests will notice Yellow Stakes defining the Water Hazard on Hole #5 as opposed to Red stakes.

What does this mean??

If your ball is in a water hazard (yellow stakes and/or lines) you may play the ball as it lies or, under penalty of one stroke:

• play a ball from where you hit the ball into the hazard, or
•  
• drop any distance behind the water hazard keeping a straight line between the hole, the point where the ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard and the spot on which the ball is dropped.
•  
• Use the new "DROP AREA" on the green side of the hazard.  (This is a Local Rule that has been put in place to help improve the pace of play and to simplify the rules options for the golfer
