"Ground under repair" is any portion of the course so marked by order of the Committee or so declared by its authorized rep-resentative. It includes material piled for removal and a hole made by a greenkeeper, even if not so marked. Stakes and lines defining ground under repair are in such ground. The margin of ground under repair extends vertically downward but not upwards. Note 1: Grass cuttings and other material left on the course which have been abandoned and are not intended to be removed are not ground under repair unless so marked. Note 2: The Committee may make a local rule prohibiting play from ground under repair. back
