Until these trees start to mature we will continue to protect the bases with mulched rings to prevent mechanical damage such as mower and line trimmer damage. Also young trees will have a black stake placed in close proximity to the tree, putting the following "local rule" in place.
1. This Local Rule requires mandatory relief from "black" staked trees and reads;
The player must take relief from all black-staked trees with regards to normal stance, swing, and club selection. The player is allowed to lift, clean and drop the ball without penalty within one club-length of the nearest point of relief not nearer the hole.Any questions on this rule or farther explanation of rules on the golf course, can be answered by our PGA golf professionals.
