Welcome

My name is Nick Doran, and I am the former president of the UCSD Casual Golf Club.

I am going to post rules decisions as I encounter them on the golf course. I am pretty sure that I will be able to come up with at least one rule nugget for each round that I play.

6/18/16 - The Crossings at Carlsbad.

I took an on-course lesson today, and I learned that blue stakes mark an environmentally sensitive area. It plays like a hazard, except you do not have the option to play the ball as it lies. You must drop and take a penalty stroke. I think this is just a local rule for The Crossings, but other courses may use it.

  1. Question, if you enter en environmentally sensitive area to retrieve your ball, is that a penalty?
