Special Rules:
Hole 2 Island Rule: Discs must come to rest on the Island to be considered in bounds. Crossing over the Island or hitting the Island and skipping OB are not considered in bounds. YOU MUST LAND SAFELY IN BOUNDS ON YOUR THROW TO ADVANCE.
There are wooden planks on the front and right side that mark the OB line. The back side and left side areas have yellow ropes that mark the OB line. The bridge is considered OB. If a shot does not land safely on the Island, the player will throw again from the last point of being in bounds. If the attempt to throw to the Island occurs in the 2 Short Pin green and does not land safely on the Island, the player has the option to move to the concrete tee near the bridge for their next throw. This area will be marked off with spray paint to indicate the 2 Short Pin Green area that allows a player to throw from the concrete tee on their next attempt (if desired) when going OB. When throwing from the 2 Short Pin Green area, the player will have 3 attempts to make the Island. After the third attempt, they will proceed to the marked Drop Zone near the Platform stairs. If a player is outside this 2 Short Pin Green area, ALL throws will have a standard OB rule in which you throw from the last point of in bounds with a one stroke penalty with NO LIMIT or advancement to the Drop Zone. This includes the Red Tee area.
Hole 3 Gold Tee (Platform) Rule: Discs must come to rest in bounds off of the drive to be considered in bounds. If a disc does not land safely in bounds or makes contact with an object and goes OB when throwing from the Platform, the player will take their next shot from the Blue 3 Tee Pad with a one stroke penalty. The player also has the option to re-tee with penalty if preferred.
These OBs and Special Rules will be in effect both rounds.
Please note, that these OBS and Rules are subject to change based on course conditions and weather. Any changes will be communicated during the pre-round Player's Meetings to ensure all players are aware.
