Is the Pacific Ocean out of bounds, or a water hazard? Specifically, right of #18 (though it's in play on other holes as well). I didn't see any stakes (red or white), so I'm going to have to guess that it's out of bounds. So stroke-and-distance. The guy in our foursome who hit it into the ocean played it as OB.
The scorecard doesn't say one way or another. I should have asked.
We've all seen the pros play off of the beach left of #18 at Pebble Beach. So that means that the beach is in bounds, at least.
Update!Our handicap chair pointed out this relevant definition of a Penalty Area (partial):
Any body of water on the course (whether or not marked by the Committee), including a sea, lake, pond, river, ditch, surface drainage ditch or other open watercourse (even if not containing water)
So the question still remains - Is the ocean on the course?
