Captains' Local Rules
* The gully on the laft side of Starboard #5 is a Lateral Penalty Area. If there is a white circle in the rough indicating a drop area you can drop there. If the drop area is not marked you have 2 options: you may choose to take a one stroke penalty and drop the ball within 2 club lengths of where you crossed the red "line" into the penalty area (no closer to the hole) or go back to where you originally hit your shot and take stroke & distance penalty.
* The woods on the left side of the cart path near the water on Port #8 are a Lateral Penalty Area. If you hit a ball up into the woods, you may choose to take a one stroke penalty and drop the ball within 2 club lengths of where you crossed the red "line" into the penalty area (no closer to the hole). You do not need to find the ball to take the penalty and drop. This lets you take a drop in the grass to the right of the cart path.
