Local Rules:
  All Members should be familiar with, and know how and when to apply the Local 
    Rules; both permanent and temporary and the Rules of Golf in general.   
    Temporary Local Rules are written on the Events white board; either phasing 
    out or becoming permanent. Permanent Local Rules are written on the reverse 
    side of the Club Score Card and amended when necessary. Note the following 
    inclusions to the Local Rules; outlined on the Club Score Card. These amendments 
    are effective from January 1 2007.
    
    Drains: All drains are classed through the green and the ball shall be played as 
    it lies, except when the ball lies in, casual water, embedded stones, vehicle 
    tracks, relief may be taken under Rule 25.1b (1).
    
    Out Of Bounds: O.O.B. are those parts of the course clearly defined by boundary 
    fences. The perimeter of the car park and the far side of the creek 
    are O.O.B. The right side 4th, 7th, 8th and 9th holes are O.O.B. The left hand side of 
    the 14th is O.O.B
    
    Immoveable Obstructions: All made roads and paths, all internal fencing,shelter sheds, watering points, sprinklers rubbish bins and sand bins are immovable 
    obstructions. Rule 24.2 applies
    
    Ground Under Repair (GUR): Through the green, embedded stones maybe 
    treated as GUR.
    
    Hazards (Dams) - When playing the Hole number 1 the dam is a water hazard Rule 
    26.1 (a) (b). When playing a hole number 10 the dam is deemed to a lateral water 
    hazard and Rule 26.1 (c) is applied. 
    Trees- If a staked tree or a tree under 2 club lengths in height, interferes with 
    stance or area of intended swing, the played takes relief under Rule 24.2 (b).
    
    Slow Play:
   The prevention of slow play is the absolute responsibility of all Club Members. 
    All players should refer to the Local Rules on the Club scorecard and Events white 
    board. Rulings and pertinent instructions from the Pro-Shop must be adhered to. It is 
    considered that it would be reasonable for a group of four players to take an average 
    of 15 [fifteen] minutes per hole- that is four hours and thirty minutes maximum for 
    the round.
  
    Note: The lowest Handicapped or equal lowest Handicapped Members of the playing 
    group; is/are deemed to be the 'Captain' of that playing group, and responsible for 
    the overall cohesion of play for that playing group.    Each group will satisfactorily hold its place in the field by being safely and 
    not harassing as close as possible to the group in front. Move quickly between shots. 
    Be ready [in advance] to play your ball. 
    Limit the amount of practice swings and address time. 
    Move quickly from greens. 
    Do not loiter to mark cards or chat.
    Members who fall behind and have a clear hole ahead [for a typical par 4 hole] in a 
    field of players should call the following players through immediately. Players 
    searching for a lost ball should signal the players behind them to play through as 
    soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found. Take action before 
    5 [five] minutes has lapsed. 
    A provisional ball should be played as soon as it is apparent that a ball may be lost, 
    or out of bounds. 
    With exception of Match Play; the player first on the tee and ready, may tee-off, if 
    the group in front cannot be reached, or the longest hitters may 
    tee-off last. 
    A Member need not continue to play when the ball has no bearing on a result and all 
    scoring shots have been completed.
