5. Local USCGA Rules (Enforced to speed up Play)
   1. Maximum stokes is triple bogey. Players must pick up after allotted strokes.
   2. Lost ball: Instead of playing stroke and distance, drop a ball as close to area where ball is deemed lost. (one penalty stroke).
   3. Out-of-bounds (OB): To eliminate delays a player who is not sure his ball was hit OB, must hit a provisional ball. If the original ball is found OB, then the provisional ball will be used to finish hole. Example: Player’s second shot thought to be OB. Announces and hits provisional. Original ball confirmed OB. Provisional ball is now in play laying 4 hitting 5. If the original ball is not OB, play it. Player must declare he’s hitting a provisional ball before leaving the spot from where original ball was last played. If a player fails to hit a provisional ball and finds his ball is OB, player cannot return back to where the original ball was last played. Player must then pick up and count a triple bogey for the hole.
6. In case of disputes, play the original ball and a provisional ball. At the end of the round, discuss the incident with us and we will make a decision. Above all please don’t get into any confrontations over a ruling with your playing partners. Let’s practice good sportsmanship.
