All unmarked open concrete ditches lying on the course are to be treated as part of the general area and not as a penalty area. The concrete ditch itself is an immovable obstruction.

b)    Ball on Cart Path - (Diamond 2, Ruby 7 and Jade 9):If a player’s balls come to rest on the cart path between the green lines near the green, free relief may be taken from the abnormal course condition (Rule 16.1b) or, as an additional option, drop the ball without penalty in the nearer of two drop zones provided.

c)    Staked trees are immovable obstructions and relief is available under Rule 16.1b.
