Local rule E 5- lost ball

[oltimer]

Does the application of the above still allow comps to be qualifyers, seem to recall suggestions it may not do so. Any Club actually applied this and what is their opinion of its results ?

No it doesn't. CONGU rule.

The end.

No where I've played has this rule in use. I have applied it my self a couple of times instead of walking back to the tee.

I assume you are talking about casual rounds.

We use it at our club for regular play and post scores using it; our handicap authority recognizes it as an acceptable Local Rule.

It's really a good rule for crowded public courses.
Also for after work twilight leagues.

Central and Northern New England are on the very east end of the Eastern time Zone--should really be in the Atlantic Time Zone but want to stay in synch with New York.
Thus it gets dark early, even on Daylight Saving Time in the summer.

You can probably play until 9 or 10 PM in June and July, right?

Yeah well about 945 in the south east. Much later in Scotland and NI

I can also confirm that E-3 does not apply unless restricted to closely mown areas.

I figured as much. That would really be nice.

Many thanks for that
