Interesting local rule

[KenL]

A friend took this picture at a very high profile course in Scotland a couple of weeks ago.

Says relief must be taken to protect the newly revetted face.

My questions are:

1. How should one take relief?
2. Is this a recognised local rule that any club could use?
3. Could a counting hcp score be submitted when this LR is in use?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Just a badly worded no play zone really

Looks like GUR to me

Treat it as ground under repair, no play zone. Take relief according to Rule 16.1f.
While the "local rule" may not spell it out specifically, the situation is covered by 16.1f and is authorized.

Does that mean drop in the bunker or outside it?
Thanks

Thanks

If the ball is in the bunker, then the drop must be in the bunker, all covered in Rule 16.1.
