Our club has adopted a couple of the optional local rules for 2019, and this was the first tournament that they were in effect.
One is the two-stroke penalty for a lost ball or OB, rather than stroke and distance. I think this is a great rule for pace of play. It was not utilized in our foursome.
The other one is a max score of 9 on any hole. This is another one that I think is great for pace of play. There were a couple of new players in our foursome, so this was utilized a number of times. I had a legit 9. I would like to not utilize this new local rule, but I'm glad it's there.
We have also had a local rule for quite some time that treats unpaved cart paths the same as paved cart paths (free relief) That is a good local rule for this course, as a lot of the cart paths are dirt. That one didn't come into play for us this round.
