McCullough’s Local Rules and Course Information

Please read and print for reference on the course.
Local Rules
• Play the ball down.
• Please repair ball marks, replace divots (use divot mix if divot not intact), and rake bunkers.
• Out of Bounds is marked by fences, white lines, or stakes.
• Blue Octagon caps are immovable obstructions (free drop within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole).
• Drive carts on fairways only. Do not drive on rough or on mounds. On Hole #7 you may drive through the sandy waste area.
• If your ball strikes a telephone pole, play it as it lies.
• If your ball strikes a telephone line (wire), you must replay the shot.
• Hole location: green (front), white (middle), orange (back).

General Information
• See the starter ten minutes prior to your tee time.
Record gross score for each player. If you pick up, record X plus your most likely score (Linda must have a number so that she can post your score).
Total each player’s individual score (optional, but very helpful).
• Two players (one player from each team) must submit the two scorecards to the scorer at the same time and wait until the cards have been reviewed.
• Do not post your score. The tournament director will post all scores.
• Maintain a good pace of play. Keep up with the players in front of you.
• $2 of your tournament fee will be used to tip the bag handlers.
• Applications for the Mixed Scramble at Blue Heron Pines (Tuesday, July 12) will be available at the registrar’s table. Don’t hesitate to sign up as a single – lots of guys and gals will be looking for a partner.

Course Information
Bathroom (portable) located near #7 tee and after #13 green.
#3: Yellow-staked hazard on right has a path running through it. If your ball enters from the back, it is in a water hazard; if it enters from the side, it is in a lateral water hazard.
#4: Fence around white shed and silo is an out-of-bounds fence. No free relief. Drop within two club-lengths, no closer to hole; one-stroke penalty.
#6: Note the sign to the left of the White tee box indicating 231 yards to water hazard. From the Red tee box, 185 yards to water. There is no water in the part of the hazard at the end of the fairway, and the area is mowed. If you hit your ball into the section of hazard to the right of the fairway, the grasses are high and you will more than likely need to take relief (one-stroke penalty, Rule 26-1).
There is a red-staked hazard (lateral) behind the green.
#7: From Red tee, the hole is a dogleg left.
From White tee, two choices: aim at either of the two 150-yard posts. You may drive your cart through the sandy waste area.
#11: Aim at the tower. Suggestion: One person tees off and drives immediately to fairway to spot everyone else’s tee shot.
The hazard behind the green is marked with yellow stakes; they should be red. Treat it as a lateral hazard.
#12: If the Gold tee markers are on the White tee box, please move them to the rear of the Red tee box (first group out will do this).
#13: You may not use the drop area next to the green. Men may drop on the ladies’ tee box; women should re-tee.
The fence behind the hole is an out-of-bounds fence. No free relief. Drop within two club-lengths, no closer to hole; one-stroke penalty.
#15: Sharp dogleg right. If your tee shot lands anywhere on the fairway between the 100-yard marker and the end of the fairway, you will have a clear shot to the green.
#17: If the Gold tee markers are on the White tee box, please move them to the rear of the Red tee box (first group out will do this).
