General Information and Rules (page 2)

Competition Rules:	In general each HKIS player can only get one prize except longest drive, closest to pin and Divisional trophy. Guests and sponsors are only eligible for longest drive and closest to pin prizes.
	When there is a tie for Best Net prices, the player of lower NNP handicap will win. In the event of a tie for Best Gross prizes, counting back will become operative.
	Winners of Best Gross and Best Net prices can choose either prize.
	For closest to pin, the ball must be on the green. For longest drive, the ball must be on the fairway and be measured from the tee.
	In the best interest of time, gimmie is allowed if distance from the hole is less than the rod length of a standard putter.
	Avoid Slow Play. Play ready golf, i.e. whoever is ready, hit first. Always keep up with the group in front.
	If a ball is lost in water or other hazard (yellow or red stakes), the player may, under the penalty of one stroke, drop a ball near the margin of the hazard. However there must be reasonable evidence that the ball was lodged in the hazard. Drop Zone (very generous in Kau Sau Chau), if available, must be used in order to speed up the game. For ball lost and out of bound, use drop zone or drop the ball near the point of entry with a penalty of one stroke.
	For rules not mentioned in the above, follow the Local Course Rules. For rules not mentioned in the Local Course Rules, follow R & A Rules.
	If there is any doubt, the HKIS Committee's decision will be final.
