Tryon Country Club local rules

Rules of Play - 2011 USGA Rules govern play except as amended by the following local rules:

Preferred Lies -  Preferred lies are in effect as follows: a ball may be lifted, cleaned and placed within one clublength of where it originally lay, not nearer the hole in your own fairway only.   

Embedded Ball - The embedded ball rule is in effect “through the green” Rule 25-2.

Course Markings 
Out of Bounds- Defined by White stakes and Country Club road and Horseshoe Curve road.
Yellow stakes and lines – water hazard
Red stakes and lines – Lateral water hazard
White lines and signage define ground under repair and any landscaped areas where relief is permitted.
White-lined areas tying into artificially-surfaced roads or paths are deemed to have the same status as roads and paths. They are obstructions, not ground under repair.

Misc. – Ditches to the left of holes #1 and #2 are played as “Through the Green” with no relief permitted without penalty.

Stones in Bunkers – Stones in bunkers are deemed to be moveable obstructions and may be removed.

Electronic Measuring Devices – Electronic measuring devices are permitted for use during competition rounds unless they include functions that gauge other factors than distance (wind speed and gradient).

Relief allowed – Relief is peremitted from areas of “ground under repair” including fire ant hills and French drains.

Score cards – In a competition a “score card is deemed to be returned when posted on the scoreboard”.
