Ria Course Rules
Free relief may be taken from all artificial obstructions except those defining out-of-bounds or those in all penalty areas.
Areas identified by blue stakes or blue lines are Ground Under Repair and free relief may be taken from such areas and from individual staked young trees. If your ball finishes or is lost inside the GUR area inside a bunker, you may take a free drop inside the bunker within
one club length from the nearest point of relief.
If there is doubt whether a ball is in or is lost in the penalty areas on the 10th and the 14th holes, the player may play a provisional ball.
If a ball strikes the well on the 7th fairway the stroke is cancelled and the player must play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was played.
If a remote controlled machine damages the ball by running over it, you can replace the ball and drop as near to original spot as possible. If it moves the ball you can replace as near to the original spot as agreed with other players. If you hit any of the remote controlled machinery (not including greenkeepers cart or trailer etc.) then you have to replay shot (the same as the well-rule )
Any Gents over the age of 70 can elect to play of the blue tees (previously black tees) and use the appropriate slope index for the course. This excludes any match-play competition and the scratch club championship competition.
The waste sand areas on holes 1 and 3 were previously deemed waste areas with no rakes. You could ground your club. If any of the bushes interfered with your swing, you were entitled to a free drop. The Committee believe this was inconsistent with normal rules. However more recently our owners QdR, have deemed these areas as bunkers and provided rakes.
However it is wholly inappropriate to have bushes inside a normal bunker and so we have to consider what is best for Club´s local rules. The Committee agreed that from now on, these areas will be deemed waste areas and no relief will be given from the bushes. You play as it is or take relief with one shot penalty not closer to the hole.
