- As the greens are being serviced at the moment, preferred lies are allowed to avoid the areas that are being treated for dollar spot weed infestation.
- Flag sticks are not to be removed under any circumstances. There is a pool noodle placed in the hole so that the ball only just drops below the surface, which will allow players to retrieve their ball, without removing the flag.
