The course is open. PREFERRED LIES WILL BE IN PLACE until further notice. When a player's ball lies in a part of the general area cut to fairway height or less, the player may take free relief by; - Reference Point: Spot of the original ball - Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: 6 inches from the reference point, but with these limits: - Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point & Must be in the general area. RELIEF FROM AERATION HOLES If a player's ball lies in or touches an aeration hole on the putting green, the player may take relief. Interference does not exist if the aeration hole only interferes with the player's stance or area of intended swing or, on the putting green, on the player's line of play. THIS IS A TEMPORARY LOCAL RULE WHICH WE WILL WITHDRAW WHEN THE AERATION HOLES HAVE HEALED.
