    Where's me fooken ball?

    Do you often see local rules allowing the natural accumulation of leaves to be
    treated as ground under repair?

    AFAIK only treated as GUR when heaped for removal, heaped to rot away somewhere is no relief, open to correction.....

    Something like this

    33-8/31 Local Rule Providing Relief from Accumulations of Leaves Through the Green
    The Committee may make a temporary Local Rule declaring accumulations of leaves through the green at certain holes to be ground under repair (see Definition of "Ground Under Repair") and Rule 25-1 will apply.

    The Local Rule should be restricted to the hole(s) at which trouble with leaves occurs and it should be withdrawn as soon as conditions permit. Particular attention is drawn to the opening paragraph of Rule 25-1c; unless it is known or virtually certain that a ball that has not been found is in the leaves, it must be treated as lost elsewhere and Rule 27-1 applies.

    It looks like Glencullen has\had it from a web search "The area with accumulation of leaves through the green on the 2nd & 11th
    fairways is deemed to be GUR."

    Just wondering how common it is to find this local rule like this as it happened in our game at the weekend.

    This was only introduced this year and has to be specified on the competition board in order to apply. Not sure if it has been used to date.
