GOLF UPDATE
Rules Question of the Month
By Head Golf Professional, Andy Engelbrecht
Q
A
How do I obtain proper relief when my swing or stance
is affected by a sprinkler or drain?
Rule #24 Provides the following Relief:
Except when the ball is in a water hazard or a lateral
water hazard, a player may take relief from interference by an
immovable obstruction as follows:
Through the green: If the ball lies through the green, the player
must lift the ball and drop it without penalty within one clublength
of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief.
The nearest point of relief must not be in a hazard or on a
putting green. When the ball is dropped within one club-length
of the nearest point of relief, the ball must first strike a part of
the course at a spot that avoids interference by the immovable
obstruction and is not in a hazard and not on a putting green.
If you have questions about this rule, ask one of your Tiburón
Golf Professionals for an illustration.

Message from your Course
Superintendent
Fire Danger – High
We are midway through Southwest Florida’s dry season.
Sunny days with wind and low humidity are common at this
time of year. These climatic conditions combine to produce a
very dry environment. Our native pine straw areas around the
courses are especially dry and can be set on fire by careless
disposal of a cigarette or cigar. Please be very careful when
smoking on the golf courses. Rainy season normally begins
around June 15th.
