Rule #1. ALL PUTTS MUST BE HOLED OUT – No Exceptions – No Gimmies. PENALTY – Disqualification Rule #2. BALL LOST IN FAIRWAY, HIGH ROUGH OR FALL LEAVES – Drop another ball with no penalty near where you believe your ball to be. Rule #3. WINTER RULES – You may improve your lie anywhere on the course by lifting and placing your ball 6 inches to either side or back, no closer to the hole. Rule #4. SMALL TREES – LESS THAN 10 FEET TALL – You may lift your ball away from small trees or yardage markers, either side, no closer to the hole. If your ball comes to rest next to a tree, or a tree root, you may move your ball one (1) club length from the tree/root. If your ball is under a tree, you must hit from under the tree. Rule #5. CASUAL WATER & GROUND UNDER REPAIR – NO PENALTY – Drop ball within two (2) club lengths from the margin of the area, but no closer to the hole. On the putting green, drop to the nearest position which will give you relief, but not closer to the hole. Rule #6. WATER HAZARD (your ball goes into the creek)
– PENALTY – one (1) stroke. Place your ball on the tee side of
the creek behind where your ball entered the water. The ball may be placed in
line with the flag from point of entry (this isn't the line of flight that
the ball traveled to get to the water.) Rule #7. BALL CHANGE – You may substitute a different golf ball at any time on the course. Rule #8. OUT OF BOUNDS – PENALTY – one (1) stroke. If you or any member of your group believes your shot to be out of bounds, you should play a provisional ball. If your original ball is found in bounds you must play that ball. If your original ball is not found, or found out of bounds, and you played a provisional ball, you must play your provisional shot and add one (1) penalty stroke. If you failed to play a provisional ball, you may go back to the spot of your original shot and incur a one (1) stroke penalty or play your ball from where it went out of bounds and incur a penalty of two (2) strokes. Out of Bounds: Rule #9. COURTESY – The first person to hole out
should pick up the pin and be ready to replace it when the group is finished.
Rule #10. ALTERNATE TEE PLAY - All players in the ‘D’ flight may play from the red tees on all holes. All players in the ‘C’ flight may play from the red tees on holes 1, 3 & 8. Players in the ‘C’ who are over 80 years of age may play from the red tees on all holes. Players in the "B" flight who are over 80 years of age may play the red tees on holes 1, 3 & 8. Players who are over 90 years of age may play the red tees on all holes. Rule #11. You may tee off from anywhere, laterally, on the tee, so long as you are behind and within two club lengths of the tee blocks. Rule #12. If you hit your ball into the trees behind the
#2 green, you can attempt to hit out of the trees or take a 1 stroke penalty
and play from the drop zone near the big tree on the left side of the green. Our club is designed around the fact that golfing is fun. Throwing clubs and/or balls is not appreciated. Please keep your cool so others will be able to enjoy their game. These rules, and all other league rules, will be strictly enforced. Please abide by them so we can make this a great year. If you have any questions about any of these rules, or any other league rules or activities, please contact Rich Jordan at 217-529-8949 or submit@ppmcgolf.com or you can speak with Rich or Dave Baird at Pasfield Golf Course on any Saturday during the league season. |
