Bull Gully (Holes 5/14) The tractor is unable to cut the long grass on the steep slopes of holes 5/14 (Bull Gully), both before the gully and below the green. If a player’s ball is in this area, including when it is known or virtually certain to be in that area even though not found, the player may play it as it lies without penalty or has these relief options, each for one penalty stroke:

  1. The player may take stroke-and-distance relief under Rule 17.1d(1), or

  1. The player may drop the original ball or another ball in the dropping zone which is the whole of the cut area at the bottom of the gully. The dropping zone is a relief area under Rule 14.3.
