KMGC HOME TOURNAMENT, LOCAL RULES
USGA Rules Govern ALL Play Except As Modified
by these LOCAL RULES
  1. Obstructions are in accordance with Rule 16 with the following additions and clarifications: Paved or unpaved roads or cart paths and cart path ends, Cement drains (not marked as hazards), and French drains (ONLY IF ROCKS ARE VISIBLE). Note: relief from cement drains shall be taken from point of entry.
  2. Sprinkler Heads: Relief can be taken from Sprinkler Heads that are within two (2) club lengths of the green and the ball lies within two (2) club lengths of the sprinkler head AND in line with the hole. Ball can be lifted, cleaned and dropped on nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole. (Rule 16.1b) If ball comes to rest on the green, it shall be placed on the point that it first struck the course.
  3. When a player’s ball has not been found or is known or virtually certain to be out of bounds, the player may proceed as follows rather than proceeding under stroke and distance. For two penalty strokes, the player may take relief by dropping the original ball or another ball in the fairway within 2 club lengths of the edge of the rough closest to where the original ball was lost or out of bounds but not nearer the hole then the estimated point of loss or out of bounds
  4. On hole 4, even though the stakes have been removed, we still play the ditch as a red stake penalty area, and the other side of the ditch as out of bounds.
  5. KEEP PACE WITH THE GROUP AHEAD. If a group finishes more than 20 minutes behind the group ahead, a 2 stroke penalty for each player in the group may be assessed. (Rule 1.2b)
  6. The Tournament Committee may designate a Tournament "Referee" for any and ll disputed decisions regarding play. In lieu of an appointed "Referee", the Tournament Chairman is deemed the official Referee and his decisions are final. (Rule 20-2)
