The signage has fallen down off the notice board but the following local rule applies.

The signage should hopefully be back up by the end of this week. Until then please see the following ruling and attached documentation.

E-5 Alternative to Stroke and Distance for Lost Ball or Ball Out of Bounds

Purpose. When a provisional ball has not been played, significant issues with pace of play can result for a player needing to take stroke-and-distance relief for a ball that is out of bounds or cannot be found. The purpose of this Local Rule is to allow a Committee to provide an extra relief option that allows a player to play on without returning to the location of the previous stroke. 

The Local Rule is appropriate for general play where golfers are playing casual rounds or playing their own competitions. The Local Rule is not appropriate for competitions limited to highly skilled players (that is, professional competitions and elite amateur competitions). For guidance on when and how this Local Rule may be used in order for scores to be submitted for handicapping purposes, consult the rules or recommendations contained within the Handicap System operating in the local jurisdiction. 

Where a Committee has introduced such a Local Rule for general play, and removes it for competitions, it should ensure that all players are aware of this before play begins.A Committee may introduce such a Local Rule for all play on the course or only for one or two specific holes where it may be especially useful (for example, where players are unable to see the landing area and therefore may not know whether or not to play a provisional ball). 

This option allows the player to drop in a large area between the point where the ball is estimated to have come to rest or gone out of bounds and the edge of the fairway of the hole being played that is not nearer the hole.The player gets two penalty strokes when using this relief option. This means that the relief is comparable to what could have been achieved if the player had taken stroke-and-distance relief. 

This Local Rule cannot be used for an unplayable ball, or for a ball that is known or virtually certain to be in a penalty area.If a provisional ball is played and neither the original ball nor the provisional ball can be found, then the Local Rule may be applied for the provisional ball that cannot be found.

Round 2 done and dusted. Blessed with another weekend of sunshine and good conditions. Today we saw alot of incredibly low scores and players beating their all time best rounds, which is a credit to the amazing course that’s being prepared for us by Brendon and his team. We have a pretty packed tight leader board going into the 3rd round next week. Let’s all hope the weather stays great.

A Grade – Winner,Terry Foster (9) with an amazing score of 67. Terry blitzed the first 17 holes and just had some bad luck on the last approach shot in. Up and down all day and so many greens in regulation. It was a really enjoyable round to witness Terry. Runner up was Mr Consistent Micky Kemp (8) with 69. Golf must be boring, being that good huh ay Kempy. Still amazes me that you dont warm up and never practice.

B Grade – Winner, Joseph Lehkyj (14) with a 67, nice round Joseph, Runner up, Luke Hammond (17) with 69.

C Grade – Winner, Ken Culpitt (24) with an outstanding score and the game of his life shot a score of 64. A huge shout out to Ken and congratulations. Its Kens first time breaking 90. Amazing round of golf!. Runner up, Dave Callard (25) with a score of 65. Sorry Dave you must of thought you had it wrapped up and in the bag with that score. Another outstanding round of golf. Well played Gents.

Ball run down went to 72 all in.
