Hole-by-Hole Rules — Back 9

Hole #10

Everything on the right side of the cart path until there are stakes (about 200 yards out) is red ESA.  After that, the stakes come into play.

Left side of the hole and over the green is also red ESA.

Drop area is available off the tee for shots not crossing into the ESA right or left.

 

Hole #11

ESA short, long left and right.

Drop area available for shots going not crossing the front hazard.

 

Hole #12

ESA - all the way down the right side, short left, and over the green.

Tree well about 200 yards out - a free drop is allowed.

 

Hole #13

ESA - red all the way down the right side and over the green.  Yellow stakes long right only apply to hole #14.

 

Hole #14

Yellow ESA in front of the tee.  Red ESA right of cart path, left side of fairway and over the green.

Drop area available for shots not crossing the hazard.

Rocks piled left beyond hazard are also considered red ESA.

 

Hole #15

ESA right and surrounding the green

 

Hole #16

Red ESA left and right.  Yellow ESA in front of the green.

 

Hole #17

ESA in front of the green and over it.

Drop area available for shots not crossing the hazard.

 

Hole #18

ESA left and right.  For the right ESA, any shot crossing more than five yards right of the bend in the cart path should be re-teed.  This can be done as a provisional in case there is a lucky bounce, but such a shot is not going to cross into the ESA further up.  For shots left of this that cannot be found, it can be generally assumed that they crossed further up.  All of this assumes a straight shot.  A hook or a slice needs to be factored in.  Any shot that is slicing, even over the cart path, probably needs to be re-teed, while a hooking shot may be okay.  Bottom line is there is precious little room to the right and fewer shots cross further up than most people think.

 

Yellow ESA in front of the green.  Shots going in either need to be hit from the same place or dropped on a line containing the point of crossing and the pin with a one stroke penalty.

 

Balls on the cart path to the right of the green (left of the hazard) can be dropped, but relief must be taken no closer to the hole.
