Stonecreek Men’s Club
Special Rules During Club Play
1. Divot Local Rule – After confirming with one of your playing partners, you may take free relief from a divot in your own fairway. Drop from knee height, no nearer the hole.
2. Tree Root Local Rule – After confirming with one of your playing partners, you may take free relief from an exposed tree root if will impede your swing (ball is next to a root or very near a root). Drop from knee height, no nearer the hole.
3. Sand Bunker Maintenance Local Rule - After confirming with one of your playing partners, you may take free relief from a poor maintenance condition in a sand bunker (poor raking, footprints, etc.). The relief is given by placing the ball (not dropping or rolling) within 18” of the poor maintenance condition. Do not rake the sand bunker before your shot. Do rake the sand bunker after your shot.
These rules are in effect during SMC club play only and are NOT USGA rules.
Do not follow them during other rounds (outside tournaments, other clubs, etc.).
The SMC Handicap Committee will periodically review competitive situations and continue to make recommendations to the board of directors.
Registration deadline Monday at 3pm, unless the course requires it earlier. Your best option is to register early.
All events require individual registration via Golf Genius.
Online payment is required at registration: $16.00 per person.
