Local Rule: Power Lines

Effective January 9, 2014, PCGC now has a local rule regarding the power lines that are present on several holes at Poplar Creek.

If a ball strikes a permanent elevated power line or cable on the course, the stroke must be cancelled and replayed, without penalty (see rule 20-5). If the ball is not immediately recoverable, another ball may be substituted.

Notes:

  • This rule states that you MUST replay the stroke regardless where the ball ends up including a hole out.
  • This rule does not include striking any other part of the power tower,  If your ball strikes any other part of the tower then you must play the ball where it lies with the stroke counted.
