Title:	2007 Local Rules
Detail:	EMBEDDED BALL Through the green a ball embedded in its own pitch-mark in the ground, except in loose sand, may be lifted, cleaned and dropped without penalty as near as possible to the spot where it lay, not nearer the hole. Exception: A player may not obtain relief under this Local Rule if it is clearly unreasonable for him to play a stroke because of interference by anything other than the condition covered by this Local Rule. Rule 25-2, page 73 and Appendix 1B-3, page 102. OUT OF BOUNDS When white stakes or fences are used, the out of bounds is determined by the nearest inside points of the stakes or fence posts at ground level (excludes angled supports). When a white line defines out of bounds, the line itself is out of bounds. A ball is out of bounds when all of it lies out of bounds. Rule 27-1, page 79. A ball that crosses a public road defined as out of bounds and comes to rest beyond that road is out of bounds, even though it may lie on another part of the course. GROUND UNDER REPAIR Areas enclosed by white lines are ground under repair, and the lines themselves are in the GUR. French Drains (gravel can be seen or felt by probing), trenches filled with gravel or the like, are ground under repair, even though not so marked. Rule 25-1, page 69. ROADS, PATHS OR IMMOVABLE OBSTRUCTIONS Areas enclosed by white lines tying into roads, paths or obstructions have the same status as the road, path or obstruction and are not GUR. The line itself is part of the obstruction. Rule 24-2, page 66. DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES In this competition, a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. However, if, during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g., gradient, wind-speed, temperature, etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional functions are actually used INTEGRAL PARTS OF COURSE Tree wrappings, electrical wires and cables when closely attached to trees, liners in bunkers, and artificial walls and/or pilings when located within water hazards or bunkers are integral parts of the course. These items are not obstructions and relief under Rule 24-2 is not permitted. ELEVATED POWER LINES AND CABLES If a ball strikes such a line, the stroke shall be cancelled and the player must play a ball, without penalty, in accordance with Rule 20-5. DOUBT AS TO PROCEDURE In stroke play, if a player is doubtful of his rights or procedure, a second ball may be played, without penalty, as permitted in Rule 3-3, page 16. The Player shall: · declare that he is playing a second ball · indicate to his marker in advance which ball he wishes to count · report to the Committee before returning his scorecard to obtain a ruling regardless of the score made with both balls
