Local Rules

RESORT and LEGEND OUT of BOUNDS: Out of bounds is determined by white stakes, perimeter fences and inside edge of curbs. STAKED TREES: If a tree stake or wires interfere with stance or swing, drop one club length from the nearest point of relief, no nearer to the hole. No penalty. IMMOVABLE OBSTRUCTIONS: Paved cart paths, restroom, flower beds, sprinklers and control boxes are all man-made immovable obstructions (i.e. anything artificial). Drop one club length from nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole. No penalty. FLOWER BEDS: A ball hit into a flower bed must be dropped to the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole. No penalty. (If the ball cannot be found, and the group agrees it is lost in the flower bed, it is not considered a lost ball and a free drop is allowed). DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES: For weekly competition as well as tournaments, a player may obtain

distance information using a device that measures distance only. SAND TRAPS: Players may remove rocks in sand traps that are considered a danger to the player or other players under the rules of golf. Large pieces of bark and palm fronds in bunkers are movable obstructions (Rule 24-1 applies). (added 1/5/2016) ANIMAL DUNG: If it is virtually certain that bird or animal dung is adherent to the ball, a ball may be lifted, cleaned and replaced without penalty. Note: the position of the ball must be marked before it is lifted under this local rule.

Accidental Movement of a Ball on a Putting Green: (1-3-17) Rules 18-2, 18-3 and 20-1 are modified as follows:

When a player’s ball lies on the putting green, there is no

penalty if the ball or ball-marker is accidentally moved by the

player, his partner, his opponent, or any of their caddies or

equipment.

The moved ball or ball-marker must be replaced as provided in

Rules 18-2, 18-3 and 20-1.

This Local Rule applies only when the player’s ball or ball-

marker lies on the putting green and any movement is

accidental.

Note: If it is determined that a player’s ball on the putting

green was moved as a result of wind, water or some other

natural cause such as the effects of gravity, the ball must be

played as it lies from its new location. A ball-marker moved in

such circumstances is replaced.

LEGEND; 1) The area left of the cart path on hole #9 is OB.

Stroke and distance penalties apply. (Rule deleted 1/5/2016)

2) The area in the wash on holes # 1, 9, 10, 14, 17 and 18 are to be considered “ground under repair” if the fairway is washed out. You may play the ball as it lies or take the nearest point of relief no closer to the hole. NO PENALTY

RESORT; 1) If your swing is obstructed by the 150 yard boulder

Weekly Rules Beginning with the 2015/2016 season, sign-up for play will be on the GHIN website exclusively. Each Week’s designated format will be specified on the GHIN website.

If you cannot play in the Tuesday play day after signing up, please call: Jan Keck – 702.419.5777

Scorekeeping New Members should start posting immediately when they have their member number. When playing an away game, post your score on that course’s computer.

Weekly regular tournament scores are to be posted as non-tournament scores.

During any round, a player may pick up the ball and X-out the hole. If the X-ed out hole is not part of the game of the day, that player will not be disqualified. If you X-out of a hole that DQ’s you from game of the day – write a big “DQ” on your card so you are not mistakenly considered.

Each member is to post her score each time she plays 13 holes or more. Players must take net par on holes not played, plus whatever handicap strokes she is entitled to on each hole.

Please post your score on the day that you play.

Slow Play

Our goal is 4 to 4 ½ hours of playing time for and 18 hole round. Stay up with the group in front of you. Ready golf on all the tee boxes.

Be ready to hit on to the green as proceeding group leaves the green. If you’re in a cart, park between balls and each player go to her ball. Take several clubs with you to eliminate walking back to the cart.
