On the back of the scorecards you will see (under GUR) areas of GUR at Chichester are "No Play Zones"

The measurement of a penalty drop when playing competitions can no longer be two strides from the penalty area. In future for all competitions as the rules state that the ball should be dropped within 2 club lengths of where your ball last crossed the edge of the penalty area. The two club lengths must be measured by using the longest club (excluding the putter) in your bag.

The following Local Rule is in use from Saturday Nov 30th

Areas in bunkers where sand has been removed by the movement of water, resulting in deep furrows through the sand are Ground Under Repair.

Please note that where this condition exists, the bunker itself remains in play but free relief from the affected area may be taken by dropping a ball in the bunker within 1 club length of it, no nearer the hole.

Information is available at the clubhouse and this Local Rule will appear on the scorecard when the next batch of scorecards are printed.

It is always best to agree with your playing partners that your ball is affected by such an area before taking relief.

The Away Day Competition is not run by the Ladies' Committee, so it is therefore not a qualifying competition. It is like a society competition, so can be run using 100% of Course Handicap as the "Society" is not affiliated to England Golf, as is the Ladies' Section.
