Local Rule B-2.1

"If a player’s ball is in a penalty area, including when it is known or virtually certain to be in a penalty area even though not found, the player may take relief using one of the options under Rule 17.1d, each for one penalty stroke.

Or, the ball last crossed the edge of the red penalty area on [specify hole number and location], as an extra relief option for one penalty stroke, the player may drop the original ball or another ball on the opposite side of the penalty area:

• Reference Point: The estimated point on the opposite edge of the penalty area that is the same distance from the hole as the estimated point where the original ball last crossed the edge of the red penalty area. Such that a straight line between these two estimated points does not cross outside the penalty area.

• Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: Two club-lengths, but  with these limits:

• Limits on Location of Relief Area:

  • Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and

  • May be in any area of the course except the same penalty area, but

  • If more than one area of the course is located within two club-lengths of the reference point, the ball must come to rest in the relief area in the same area of the course that the ball first touches when dropped in the relief area.
