5. Each member is responsible for signing in on the GOW sheets before beginning play.

Local Rules of Golf for CVLGC
1. USGA Rules shall apply in all cases except where modified by either Standing or Local Rules.
2. All players may improve their lie in their own fairway, including the apron around the green. (Improve lie one club length no closer to the hole, but not your position.)
3. All players may rake and place in sand traps. The ball should be placed as close to the original position as possible unless taking relief from water or mud. Consult foursome for placement.
4. After ten (10) strokes, pick up. If that hole is included in GOW, Player is disqualified from that day’s GOW events and putts.
5. Unmowed areas (includes tall grass and wooded areas): In an effort to speed-up play, if a ball is hit into an area of unmowed tall grass and cannot be located, a player may take relief as if the unmowed grass was a lateral hazard (red staked/line). One stroke penalty incurred, place ball two club lengths from where it entered the hazard.
6. A player should play a provisional shot if she thinks her ball has gone out of bounds and/or thinks her ball is lost. If the original shot is determined to be either out of bounds or lost, a one stroke penalty is incurred.
7. Regarding Hole Nos. 8 & 9: When a ball goes into the water hazard in front of the tee or to the right of the tee and fairway, the player may choose to play USGA Rules. However, to expedite play, the player may otherwise choose to use the fairway on the opposite side of where the ball entered the hazard, at the point on the fairway furthest from the green. See below specifically for hole #8.
Clarification of relief for hole #8 (Patrick, 2022)
[A] If your ball is hit into the creek from the left side (no. 8 fairway), you are allowed two club lengths (no closer to the hole) to drop your ball. [B] If the ball is hit directly into the creek, you have the option of either dropping your ball directly behind where it entered the creek or dropping your ball in the drop zone designated to the right of the cart path just passed the creek. [C] If your ball enters the creek from the right side (no. 6 fairway side), you may either move your ball directly back from the creek for your drop or drop your ball in the drop zone designated to the right of the cart path just passed the creek. With all options there is a one stroke penalty.
