WINTER RULES 6” no closer to the hole. (Anywhere!) If preferred 6” winter rule does not give you good turf to hit from… ask group permission to extend the 6” to hit from good turf. (No closer to the hole.) You may take more than 6” if needed. -or- Mark, pick, clean, and place. Again, you may take more than 6”.
Hole #3 is being played as a par 3, so it’s a pretty good walk from #2 green to #3 tees.
