New Local Rule for Rain Damage to Bunkers

Nov 30

The following Local Rule is in use from Saturday Nov 30th

Areas in bunkers where sand has been removed by the movement of water, resulting in deep furrows through the sand are Ground Under Repair.

Please note that where this condition exists, the bunker itself remains in play but free relief from the affected area may be taken by dropping a ball in the bunker within 1 club length of it, no nearer the hole.

Information is available at the clubhouse and this Local Rule will appear on the scorecard when the next batch of scorecards are printed.

It is always best to agree with your playing partners that your ball is affected by such an area before taking relief.


Two examples

Left 5th Cathedral greenside bunker, closest to the green

Right 15th Cathedral Right hand bunker. This photo was taken before the new sand was put in bunker

GUR

(Ground Under Repair)

Posted 7/4/24


It is worth reading the definition of GUR in Rules of Golf under definitions as it is very extensive.

Please note you should only enter areas of GUR to retrieve your golf ball

You should not walk through an area of GUR and not with your trolley!!

Relief from GUR is "Free Relief" at the nearest point, no nearer the hole.

Depending where your ball is sitting in the GUR your nearest point of relief maybe to the side of the GUR.

It is always best to check with your playing partner that they agree with the point at which you are taking free relief is the nearest point of relief and not nearer the hole.

Away Day

The Away Day Competition is not run by the Ladies' Committee, so is therefore not a qualifying competition. It is like a society competition, so can be run using 100% of Course Handicap as the "Society" is not affiliated to England Golf, as is the Ladies' Section.

Pace of Play

Did you know the recommended pace of play for a four ball is:

Cathedral Course

Front nine No more than 2 hours 20 minutes

Back nine No more than 2 hours

Tower Course

Holes 1-11 No more than 2 hours 15 minutes
