b. New Holes
New holes should be made on
which a stroke competition begins and at such other times as
the committee considers necessary,
provide all competitiors in a single round play with each
hole cut in the same position.
Exceptions: When it is impossible
for a demage hole to be repair
so that it conforms with
the Definition, The Committee

teeing grounds may be
differently situated on each day, all competitors play with each
hole and each teeing groud in
the same position.
c. Practice Ground

a competition course, the
Committee should lay down the
area on which player may practise on any day of a
competition, if it is practicable to do so. On any day of a stroke
competition, the Committee
should not normally permit practice on or to a putting
green or from a hazard
of the
competition course.
d. Course Unplayable

representative considers that for any reason the course
is not in a playable condition or that they are circumstances which
render the proper playing

the temporary suspension
of play or, in stroke play, declare play null and void and cancel
all scores for the round in
