Water Hazards

​

Ball played provisionally under rule 26-1

If a water hazard (including a lateral water hazard) is of such size and shape and/or located in such a position that:(i) it would be impractible to determine whether the ball is in the hazard or to do so would unduly delay play, and (ii) if the original ball is not found it is known or virtually certain that it is in the water hazard (if agreed with playing partners) The following local rule will apply:

If there is doubt as to whether a ball is in or is lost in the water hazard playing over the river Medlock on the 8th, 9th, 11th, 16th, 17th the player may play another ball provisionally under any of the applicable options in rule 26-1. If the original ball is found outside the water hazard the player must continue with it. If the ball is found in the water hazard the player may either play the original ball as it lies or continue with the ball played provisionally under rule 26-1. If the original ball is not found or identified within the 5 minute search period the player must continue with the ball played provisionally.
