A club can introduce the local rule at anytime but can't run a competition as a qualifying comp with preferred lies between April 30th and Sept 30th without the area unions consent. CONGU clause 15.
but we aren't talking about preferred lies.
If the course is so wet that balls are plugging on the fairway and rough, then in my opinion preferred lies should be in place...irrespective of the time of year.
But relief for a plugged ball on close-mown areas is available all the year round and does not rely on preferred lies being in force.
