Tree Root Rule Change

-


Members please be aware that our local rule regarding tree roots is not approved by Golf NSW and as such we need to change the wording to the following.

EXPOSED TREE ROOTS IN THE FAIRWAY

If a player's ball is in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots that are in a part of the general area cut to fairway height or less or in the rough within two club-lengths of the edge of the fairway, the tree roots are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.  Interference does not exist if the tree roots only interfere with the player's stance. Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a
