2002 Temporary Local Rule - Trees and Branches
 
For the time being the following temporary local rule shall apply:

Newly fallen trees and branches are ground under repair.

Relief is available under Rule 25 as follows:

    Through the green: If the ball lies through the green, the nearest point of relief shall be determined which is not in a hazard or on the putting green. The player shall lift the ball and drop it without penalty within one club-length of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief, on a part of the course which avoids interference by the condition and is not in a hazard or on a putting green.
