Model Local Rules
In this online video course you will get a deep knowledge to the Model Local Rules.
1) Why learn the Model Local Rules?
Almost every golf club has its own local rules. There are a lot of different local rules, and people often find them hard to understand.
There is a lot of both relevant and necessary knowledge in these Local Rules, so I strongly encourage you to take this course.
2) What do I learn?
In this online video course you will get a 360 degrees overview of the Model Local Rules, including:
- … Guidelines for establishing Local Rules.
- … Communication of Local Rules.
- … a thorough look into some of the Local Rules about…:
- … course boundaries and out of bounds (internal out of bounds, common ways of defining boundaries and boundary edges).
- … penalty areas (defining penalty areas, provisional ball for ball in a penalty area, etc.).
- … bunkers (clarifying edge of bunkers, changing status of areas of sand etc.)
- … putting greens (prohibiting play from fringe of wrong green, status of putting green when temporary putting green is used, etc.).
- … special relief procedures (dropping zones, preferred lies, defining no play zones etc.)
- … abnormal course conditions and integral objects (limited relief for embedded ball, extensive damage due to heavy rain and traffic, ant hills, mushrooms on putting green, free relief from immovable obstructions in penalty area, etc.).

3) The teaching.
it is imperative for me that the teaching is entertaining and interesting. So don’t expect a boring slideshow-teaching, but (hopefully) a teaching with lots of interesting stories, videos, smiles, pictures etc.
The teaching thus involves:
- Me talking!
- Videos from Rules indicidents on professional tours.
- Pictures/drawings about Rules incidents.
- Kahoot quizzes.
- A short “exam” at the end.
