Rule 24 Obstructions...Yellow rope and ball-stakes... how do I play?


Rule 24-1 Movable Obstruction
At Winnetka Golf Club in spring the rope and stakes are typically used to keep the gas cart traffic out of the soft areas until firm. This does not mean you automatically move the ball out of the roped area. You may do so only if you are entitled to relief from casual water.
Rule 25 Abnormal Ground Conditions (Casual Water) i.e., If the nearest point of relief is too wet then you may move outside the roped area. As shown in the pictures. The GOOD news is if you loose the ball in these areas you are not penalized as lost ball. You may take relief similar as a lateral water hazard with NO Penalty.
