Please be advised that due to the requirements to carry out maintenance work on all bunkers for the upcoming Asian Development Tour (ADT) event, the following temporary local rule will be in immediate effect starting today, November 27:
All bunkers including the bunker faces and edges throughout the course are to be considered ‘NO PLAY ZONES’, therefore, similar to local rule for the tree plantation areas, all bunkers are to be treated as an abnormal course condition.
Free relief must be taken if a ball comes to rest in a no play zone or the no play zone interferes with a player's intended stance. The nearest point of complete relief should be identified and a ball must be dropped in the relief area outside the no play zone. The relief area is one-club length from the nearest point of relief, not nearer to the hole. Players are not permitted to play in these no play zones (meaning all bunkers, bunker faces, and edges throughout the course).
Furthermore, please note that with immediate effect, and until the course returns to normal playing conditions after the ADT, no scores should be entered for handicap purposes.
