Oskaloosa JV Invitational

Stroke Play, 18 Holes

USGA Rules of Golf will govern play, except as modified by the listed local rules. IHSAA Rules apply.

All play will be from the RED tees.

We will play the ball as directed by coaches

Out of Bounds: Defined by inside edges of white stakes and/or property fence posts at ground level. White lines take precedence over the white stakes. There is no relief from the wire fences marking out of bounds on the perimeter of the course.

Ball in golf car parking area on #9, this is out of bounds and the shot should be replayed.

Hazards: All penalty areas are marked with red stakes or lines. Red lines take precedence over red stakes. Use the drop zones appropriately. Drop Zones on #7, #8, #11, #13, #15, #16, #17, #18

Ground under repair: Use group consensus for bare spots on the ground. There may be some spots marked with white lines or ropes. Some ropes are only there to patrol golf carts.

Obstructions: All artificially surfaced paths or roads, poles, pipelines, pump houses, rest rooms, sprinkler heads, valve boxes, tree stumps, and signs.

All obstructions allow for free relief if the obstruction interferes with the stance or area of the intended swing. 1 club length from the nearest point of relief, not closer to the hole. Worn shoulders of the cart paths are deemed to be part of the paths and therefore are obstructions. This is for relief of stance only, it does not give you relief from the structure itself.

Embedded Ball: Through the green, if a ball is embedded in its own pitch mark, free relief may be taken. The ball may be lifted, cleaned, and dropped as near as possible to the spot where it lay, not closer to the hole. This rule does not include hazards.

Casual Water: Any temporary accumulation of water that is visible before or after the player takes their stance and is not in a water hazard. 1 club length from the point of nearest relief, not closer to the hole and drop ball. No Penalty.

Suspension of play due to a dangerous situation: If weather becomes dangerous, please take cover at the nearest shelter. If play needs to be stopped, coaches will be out to pick you up.

Pace of play: Keep play moving, stay in position with the group in front of you, and if you believe that your ball may be out of bounds or lost outside of a water hazard, always play a provisional ball.

Turn your scorecards in at the clubhouse following play after confirming scores from everyone in the group.

No-mow areas that are not marked will be played regularly as a hazard.
