Rules & Etiquette – April 2024
Relief from Roped and Staked Areas
We have had many versions circulating about proper procedure to follow if your
ball lands in a roped-off area. You may stand in the area to hit your ball, just
don’t drive a cart through it. If you have interference from rope or stakes, move
the ball, not the stake.
The following is item #15 on IronOaks Local Rules:
Chains and Roped areas: Free relief is available if your stance or swing is
interfered by any rope or chains that have been placed to direct cart traffic.
Take relief using the ground under repair procedure.
Do not remove rope or chain in process of taking relief.
