Local Rules

Fant en sak til, gjemt godt inne de bakre regioner av harddisken min....

LOCAL RULES

IF A BALL IS SWUNG AT AND MISSED

1. A player who assumes his stance, formally addresses the ball and then fairly strikes at it, but in so doing fails completely to make contact with any part of the ball, is deemed to have performed a full-address rehearsal of his swing (practice swing) and therefore need not count a stroke. However, he must not show by either facial or verbal expression any disgust, frustration or provide any excuse. Above all, he should not bag the course.

BALL RENOUNCED IN FLIGHT

2. A player who hits a long, high drive that immediately travels in a clearly undesirable direction may disown the ball while it is still in flight and instantly tee up and hit another without assessing a stroke for the wayward shot.

BALL PLAYABLE IN WATER HAZARD, BUT JUST NOT WORTH IT

3. If a player's ball comes to rest within the margins of a water hazard in a highly playable lie from which he is certain he could, if he so desired, hit a successful recovery shot with no difficulty whatsoever, but the marshy, muddy, swampy, or boggy state of the surrounding terrain makes it inevitable that in the execution of such a stroke, he himself, his clothing or his equipment would be extensively soiled and/or soaked or that he would be obliged to assume a stance requiring the time-consuming removal of his footgear or other elaborate preparations, he may move his ball, without penalty, to the nearest equally favourable lie inside the hazard where conditions are sufficiently dry to permit prudent, sensible and reasonable play.

BALL NOT PUT FULLY INTO PLAY

4. A player may replay any tee shot once, without assessing a stroke, if his ball fails to pass beyond the forward edge of the raised mound or grassy area comprising the ladies' tees.

BALL MISSING IN FAIRWAY BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT LOST

5. When a player cannot find a ball that he has clearly and unmistakably hit into the fairway, he may declare his ball to be 'missing but not lost' and drop another ball in the approximate place where his original ball must have come to rest and play that second ball, without penalty or stroke.

BALL HIT SLIGHTLY OUT-OF-BOUNDS

6. If the ball lies just beyond the line of the out-of-bounds stakes and can be tapped, pulled, dragged or spooned back into bounds with any conforming golf club by a player standing within bounds and if the ball landed out-of-bounds but was clearly attempting to return within bounds when its progress was improperly blocked by mysterious forces beyond comprehension, then the ball may be dropped and played without penalty.

BALL HIDING FROM PLAYER

7. If a player cannot find a ball that has been hit in plain sight into a reasonably playable area of the course where there is an accumulation of dead leaves, seasonal debris, grass clippings or other forms of incidental camouflage in which furtive ball could improperly conceal itself, the ball shall be deemed to be hiding..

AUDIBLE INTERFERENCE WITH SWING

8. A player may replay his shot without assessing a stroke if at any time during his backswing or downswing and prior to the moment when he strikes the ball, he shall hear a distracting sound or noise of any type, even though this sound may not have been heard by any of his playing partners and the source of it is unclear.

AGREEMENT TO RE-TEE

9. If all the members of a playing group hit truly horrendous drives from the tee from the tee of the same hole, they may unanimously agree to replay their shots without assessing any strokes or incurring any penalties.

ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT OF SCORES

10. In order to allow for occasional imprecise recollections of strokes taken on a hole and to obviate the need for tedious recapitulations of play, any player who knows that he hit more than six shots on a hole but cannot say with certainty whether hit a total of seven, eight, nine, or ten shall return a score of seven on that hole.

ADJUSTMENT OF LIE PRIOR TO BOLD PLAY

11. If a player declares his intention to hit his ball between, through, around or over any obstructing objects, he is entitled, by reason of his dauntless and venturesome play, to improve his lie, without penalty, by rolling or tapping his ball to a perfect lie.

Må dessverre innrømme å ha benyttet meg av flere av disse reglene når jeg har spilt med vennegjengen :-(
