Dear Members
Clarification
and harmonisation of local rules for holes number 13 and 18
Las Palmeras Golf Society follows the R&A and USGA rules
of golf and the Costa Teguise Golf local rules. Following a meeting with Nicolas
Garcia, the CTG pro, the Committee would like to remind everyone of the local
rules currently in place at the Costa Teguise Golf Club:
Hole # 13.
If a golf ball lies inside the rope circling the tree in the fairway
bunker on the left side of the fairway, it must be picked up and played as
follow without a penalty:
·
Drop the ball within 2 club length of where the
ball last crossed the rope, making sure the ball is no closer to the hole
·
Drop behind the point where the ball crossed the
rope going back as far as the golfer wishes, so long as the point where the
ball crossed into the hazard is kept between the point of the drop and the hole.
If the ball lies just outside the rope, and the rope is interfering
with your swing, it is tough luck! It must be played exactly the same as if you
were very close to a tree trunk for example.
Hole # 18. If your golf ball is in the
hazard on the left of the fairway after your tee shot, the next shot must be
taken from the Drop Zone on the newly constructed ladies tee with one (1)
stroke penalty.
PENALTY FOR BREACH OF THESE LOCAL
RULES: 2
penalty strokes
Once again, LPGS is committed to follow all the local
rules in place at the Costa Teguise Golf Club.
The committee would like to thank all the Members for
their understanding and their usual good cooperation.
Best wishes
The Committee
