1. cart paths - played as obstructions:
a.) if a ball enters the cart path and bounces, it is rub of the green and shall be played from the position where it stops bouncing. if a ball enters or is on the path and it commences to roll, there are two different situations:
1.) if a ball enters of is on the path and commences rolling more than one club length down hill it must be returned to a point one club length from where it began to roll. relief can be taken from that point. drop area is provided on #15 hole. drop must be taken two club lengths from drop area sign.
2.) if a ball enters of is on the path and rolls uphill you must take the farthest advance of the ball inbounds. relief can be taken from that point. in determining the nearest point of reef under the above situations, the ball is always deemed to be at rest in the middle of the path.
