According to local rule," the ditches treated as water hazards, although this surrounding the Race-course are to be is not too clearly defined. The rule states that a ball may be lifted and dropped on the side farthest away from the hole, under penalty of our stroke, whether there is water in the ditches or not. Therefore, a player is not entitled to ground his club before playing the

There are two more instances when a hall can be packed up under penalty of our stroke. One is when the ball is lying against the pavilions on the right of the approach to the sth hole: and the other when the hall is lying against the chine sheds at the back of the 3th green.
