4. PENALTY AREAS
PENALTY AREAS: 1ST & 6TH LOWER AND 6TH AND 9TH MIDDLE - PROVISIONAL BALL
The penalty areas on 1st & 6th Lower and on the 6th & 9th Middle are of such a size that it may be impracticable and time-wasting to determine if the ball is in the penalty area. In accordance with the Rules of Golf, Dun Laoghaire Golf Club introduced in 2017 (for 1st Lower & 9th Middle) and since amended to include two additional holes (i.e.6th Lower & Middle) a Local Rule (Model 8 B-3) whereby:
If there is a doubt whether a ball is in or is lost in the penalty area on the above holes, the player may play another ball provisionally under any of the applicable options in Rule 18.3.
- If the original ball is found outside the penalty area, the player must continue play with it.
- If the original ball is found within the penalty area, the player may either play the original ball as it lies, or continue with the ball played provisionally.
- If the ball played originally is not found or identified within the three minute search period, the player must continue with the ball played provisionally.
5. The Club reserves the right to amend, remove or add to these local rules at any time in which event any such changes will be posted here and on the notice boards in the Clubhouse.
