Local Rules for the Lake Porter Am.
Please note that these local rules were put in place on 7/30. You should pay attention to this page because they may change slightly depending on how rain impacts the course on Friday evening and Saturday morning. Some of these rules may change based on the weather conditions and observed condition of the course, so stay tuned.
1. Play the ball down everywhere (as it lies and as you find it). 
2. The one-ball rule (same brand and type of ball) is not in effect. You may play whatever golf balls you have in your bag.
3. All devices for yardages are allowed (with or without slope).
4. Bunkers are hazards to be played as is (take comfort in knowing the entire field faces the same situation inside a bunker). 
a) If there is casual water in a bunker, you can seek relief inside that bunker and take a drop on the sand. 
b) If a bunker was literally full of water and there is no place to seek relief inside the bunker, you may take a drop outside the bunker. 
c. If a bunker has a mud circle after water disappears (aka, an area completely devoid of sand, aka "a ring of clay muck"), you may also seek relief as stated in Local Rule 4a.
5. A round should take roughly 4:31 minutes. Do your best not to play a 5-hour round or drop too far behind the group in front of you. Keep up the pace of play.  It is proper etiquette.
6. Turn all scorecards into the pro shop, properly signed by player and scorekeeper, after each round is completed.

​HOLE 12
White Stake boundary on the Right Side
Out of Bounds on the right side is defined by the fence between the course and surrounding houses.
Red Stake boundary on the Left Side 
The water on the left side is red stake along with tributary creek

HOLE 13
As marked.

HOLE 14
As marked. Grey is the gravel cart path. High grass line on the right is red stake hazard area.

HOLE 15
Any tee shot that lands in the water in front of the green, or on the left, is regarded as yellow stake area. Player must retee or go to drop zone (the red tee) to play next shot. If you go into the creek on the right near the green, that is red stake area / lateral hazard and should be played that way. 

HOLE 16 and HOLE 17
See red stake areas as marked. We will treat the right side of the course as red stake lateral hazard

HOLE 18
A tricky hole from a player's perspective.Why? Because it has both a yellow stakes boundary in front of the green (which require you to retee or go to the drop zone (red tee box area on 18, short left) and red stakes boundary on the far right side, defined by a bush line visible from the tee.
If you go over the green, inside the bush line, you are afforded a red lateral hazard drop in the rough on the right side of the green. 
See yellow and red stake areas near the green are highlighted in the diagram.
