"THIS Can't Be LEGAL!!" | LOCAL Rules of Golf You MUST know

In this video I describe model local rule F-5 that gives you relief from a sprinkler head around the green provided the sprinkler head is within two club lengths of the green and the ball is within two club lengths of the sprinkler head. Local rules when adopted are the same as a rule of golf. Model Local Rule F-5 “Relief from interference by an immovable obstruction may be taken under Rule 16.1. The player also has these extra options to take relief when such immovable obstructions are close to the putting green and on the line of play: Ball in General Area. The player may take relief under Rule 16.1b if an immovable obstruction is: On the line of play, and is: Within two club-lengths of the putting green, and Within two club-lengths of the ball. Exception – No Relief If Line of Play Clearly Unreasonable. There is no relief under this Local Rule if the player chooses a line of play that is clearly unreasonable. LOCAL RULES Here is the key principle behind local rules. Local Rules have the same status as a Rule of Golf for that competition or course. The USGA adopts this rule during all qualifiers at our local course. SUBSCRIBE: For each subscription we donate $0.10 to charity. Please help us reach our goal of donating $1M to charity.
