Deerwood Men’s Club Local Rules for all Club play
 
 
 1. Preferred Lies: You may lift, clean and place 1 club length no closer to the hole in your own fairway.
 
2. You may rake and place in all bunkers. Stones in the traps are movable objects and can be removed.** If any sand trap is completely flooded take relief by dropping one club length behind the trap, no nearer the hole, keeping the trap between you and the pin at the nearest point of relief with no penalty.**
 
3. Roads and paths : You may take relief from roads and paths that do not have artificial surfaces  if they could unfairly affect
play. In other words if you are on a crossroad you get relief to nearest point no nearer the hole.
 
4. Cart tracks: You may take relief from cart tracks through the green. Through the green is defined as the whole area of the course except the teeing ground and putting surface of the hole being played including all hazards.
 
5. You may take relief from drainage ditches that cross the fairway; Doe#1, Buck #6, Buck#7 and Doe # 4 left of the cart path. No closer to the hole.
 
****6. All environmental areas are now gone from the course and the areas are red staked. If you enter one you can hit it from there or take a drop, no nearer the hole, with full relief from the hazard taking a one stroke penalty.*****
 
7. Buck #3- if your ball goes in the water there is a designated drop area marked where you can opt to drop and take a one stroke penalty then play your next shot from there or proceed under the ball lost in hazard meaning you can drop keeping the same point where the ball entered the hazard between you and the hole going back as far as you want, but both incur a one stroke penalty.
 
 
8. Fawn #2 is out of bounds on the left of the fairway until you reach the crossroad,  after that it is red staked for the remainder of the hole unless you go left past the white stakes that define doe 2 o.b. then you are out of bounds.
 
9. Fawn # 4- the hedgerow to the left of the fairway will be red staked hazard unless you go past the white o.b. stakes for Doe 3 then you are o.b. as is area right of green and the area across the cart path near the green is also out of bounds.
 
10. Abnormal ground conditions such as Doe#8 green, where damage is on the green you may take relief no nearer the hole and not in a hazard to give total relief, total relief may be off the green if necessary, no penalty.
 
11. All other play follows U.S.G.A. rules.

WINTER  RULES  means no touching the ball in the rough,   You can touch the ball  in your own fairway only, you get to move the ball with in one club length no closer to the hole. Rake and place in the traps!
Winter Rules explained here.

Enviromentaly Sensitive Area (ESA) is considered ground under repair and can not be played in. The ruling is you get complete relief of stance and one club length from where the ball 
entered the ESA not where it landed. NO PENALTY!!!!
  You do not have to find the ball.
