Rules & Etiquette...
Your tee shot rockets down the middle of the fairway,
but the ball strikes a post that indicates the 150-yard mark and ricochets
out-of-bounds. You must...
a) re-tee without penalty.
b) take a free drop next to the 150-yard post.
c) play your third shot from the teeing area because the ball
went out-of-bounds.
And the answer is...
A yardage or direction post is considered part of the
course, and it's the "rub of the green" that the ball was deflected
out-of-bounds. You have to play your third shot from the teeing area.
Rule 27-1 Ball lost or out of bounds.
Etiquette:
Remember at Oak Hills we require a collared shirts & no jeans.
Always remember to repair your ball mark on the green.
Hit them straight!
