Additional setup information (1) Please follow traffic management measures (lines, hoops & ropes). They are in place to: (1) Manage course traffic, reducing wear and tear at pinch points and / or (2) Prevent players from walking across areas that are difficult to negotiate (and in some instances could result in a trip / slip if attempted).    Relief options: Ropes and stakes are immovable obstructions. Please do not remove them. Free relief is permitted under Rule 16. White hoops are movable obstructions. They can be moved and then replaced after shot taken. Black and white posts, such as that shown in the photograph are in place to aid ball search in the rough. They are in ‘sleeves’ and can therefore be removed / replaced. As a result, they are moveable obstructions.  
Additional setup information (2) Gorse regeneration – 14th hole. Areas of gorse on the 14th hole have been cut back quite severely. Those areas are still in play and should not be regarded as Ground Under Repair or No Play Zones. Therefore, the ball is to be played as it lies. There are some areas of animal damage (abnormal ground condition) within the gorse areas. Please note that if taking relief under rule 16, such relief is from the animal damage. That relief might well still be within the gorse area. Relief is not from the gorse area as a whole. Remember, the rules of golf allow for the nearest point of relief, not the nicest point of relief. In addition, please keep rule 16.1a(3) in mind. There is no relief permitted when: Playing the ball as it lies is clearly unreasonable because of something from which the player is not allowed to take free relief (such as when a player is unable to make a stroke because of where the ball lies in a bush) or Interference exists only because the player chooses a club, type of stance, swing or direction of play that is clearly unreasonable under the circumstances. Relief options for an unplayable ball are different and are addressed under rule 19. Animal damage – generally. Some animal damage, which is most prominent has been white-lined as GUR. Relief must be taken from such areas. Please note that there is likely to be further animal damage that isn’t white-lined though. Standard relief options apply under rule 16.   
Preferred lies Preferred lies are now limited to holes 4, 11 and 12. For all other holes, the ball should be played as it lies. This will be the case until further notice. We'd be very grateful if players could help to keep the course in good condition, repairing divots by using the repair pegs / seed mix provided.
