after consultation with Pro-Shop staff, the following information regarding the
location of Red and Yellow hazards on Panther's Run hole #4
and Lion's Paw hole #10 is provided to answer recent questions
regarding the location and types of water hazards on these
two holes.
In the pictures of Panther's Run hole #4 and Lion's Paw hole #10,
shown to the right, red and yellow lines are drawn to describe
the location of the respective types of hazards (yellow for
water hazard and red for lateral water hazard).
When red or yellow lines on the ground are not visible, there may
be red or yellow stakes to define the line of the hazard. If neither
is visible, you should consider the boundary of the hazard 2 yards
from the edge of the hazard.
Relief for a ball in a water hazard
1. Water hazard as defined by Yellow lines:
a. If possible, play the ball as it lies in the hazard with
no penalty stroke. However, do not ground the club
until you hit the ball. If you do, it is a two-stroke penalty.
b. Play the ball as nearly as possible at the spot from where
the original ball was last played with penalty of one stroke.
c. Drop a ball behind the water hazard keeping the point at
which the original ball last crossed the margin of the water
hazard directly between the hole and the spot on which the
ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind the water
hazard the ball may be dropped. Penalty is one stroke.
2. Lateral water hazard as defined by Red lines:
a. If possible, play the ball as it lies in the hazard with
no penalty stroke. However, do not ground the club
until you hit the ball. If you do, it is a two-stroke penalty.
b. Play the ball as nearly as possible at the spot from where
the original ball was last played with penalty of one stroke.
c. Drop a ball behind the water hazard keeping the point at
which the original ball last crossed the margin of the water
hazard directly between the hole and the spot on which the
ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind the water
hazard the ball may be dropped. Penalty is one stroke.
d. Drop a ball outside the lateral water hazard within two
club-lengths of and not nearer the hole than the point where
the original ball last crossed the margin of the lateral
water hazard. Penalty is one stroke.
e. Drop a ball outside the lateral water hazard within two
club-lengths of and not nearer the hole than a point on the
opposite margin of the lateral water hazard equidistant from
the hole. Penalty is one stroke. (This option may be practical for
errant shots into the lateral water hazard of LP#10)
