A timely reminder that even though this competition was held at our club when it is an event organised by another body such as Golf Australia, they have their own local rules. The DGC local rules do not apply (some may but not all, and there may be some additional ones). It is recommended to all competitors to read the local rules of the competition you are about to play and if you have any questions talk to the Tournament Director or a Referee who are always present at Golf Australia events.
