Updated Local Rules

Dear Members,
As of Saturday 22nd May, our Temporary Local Rules will change to show Preferred Lies are now in play.
Players are reminded that it is the individuals responsibility to check local rules before they play.
These are located in the Locker Room Foyer & on the end window of the Pro Shop.
To help clarify, I bring to your attention certain rules:
Preferred Lies
“When a player’s ball lies in a part of the general area cut to fairway height or less, the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from this relief area.
There are two things that need clarification as we are asked quite a lot when this Preferred Lies are introduced.

1. Preferred Lies can be taken on any fairway on the course – not the one you are currently playing.  eg. If you are playing the 2nd Hole, and you hit one out onto the 8th fairway, you are still entitled to relief.
2. Fairway Height or Less – this is applicable to green surrounds and fairways.  Holes such as 2, 3 & 13 which have a “heightened” cut to prevent rolling of golf balls ARE NOT entitled to relief.  It must be on the “fairway cut” sections.

A reminder to that now in the Rules of Golf is the embedded ball.  Rule 16.3 gives relief for a ball embedded anywhere in the “general area” (the new term for “through the green”).
In regards to GUR, relief from these areas are COMPULSORY unless stipulated otherwise.  Nearest point of relief must be taken if Drop zones are not present.
Note: On the MiScore App, under “MENU” on the Top Right of Screen, there is a Local Rule link, which has all the Temporary and Permanent Local Rules to help you when on course.
Good Golfing
Heath
Director of Golf
Thank you.

At 98 years of age and a golf member since 1965, Eric Barass is still a regular weekly golfer at the Warragul Country Club and as such he was the perfect choice to unveil an important historical marker that commemorates the history and significance of the Old Clubhouse.
On the 30 April 2021, Eric was joined by Gavin Ough and Life Members as the historical marker was unveiled along with many stories and great memories from times dating back to the late 1940s. The Club is delighted to be able dedicate this historical marker to an important part of the Club’s history and heritage.
Featuring a photo of the original Clubhouse, the plaque which has been kindly donated by Hillview Quarries, reads:
“This is the former site and photograph of the original Clubhouse. The Clubhouse was first built in 1947 and was extended and renovated many times up until its removal in 1995 when the new Clubhouse was built.”
