Rule Clarification

Holes 2 & 15—

Over the last few weeks we have had several questions on rulings concerning the sink hole to the left of the 2nd hole and also along the right of the 15th now that it is surrounded by a post and rope fence which is fixed inside the hazard demarcation.

Queries relate to relief if the post and rope fence interfere with a players swing

Following clarification from the R&A the official ruling is as follows

If the players ball comes to rest inside the hazard demarcation NO automatic relief is eligible from the post and rope fence

If the players ball comes to rest outside the hazard demarcation but the players swing or stance is impeded by the post and rope fence then relief without penalty  can be taken- rule 24-2.b

This process lists the process for  communications for all members of MYGC to channel communications from the members to the Committee and from the Committee to the Golf club and then back to the members.
Scope
To provide a traceable and formal system to allow any member of Mid Yorkshire Golf club to contact the Committee on any aspect of the Committee function in respect to Competitions, Handicaps, Teams and Leagues, Social events, functions and discipline.
The portal will also be used for any questions / queries  / comments on the Course which can be taken to the committee and then discussed with MYGC at the monthly Committee meeting.
