Captains' Local Rule. The woods on the left side of the cart path up near the water on Port #8 are now a Lateral Hazard. 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 hazard
(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.
