On Hole #14, If your ball comes to rest by the log where the wires are supporting the pole and is within 2 club lengths behind of the log, you can drop it on either side, NO PENALTY. If the ball is to the left of the middle of the log, drop to the left. If the ball is to the right of middle of the log, drop to the right. You may take your stance plus one club length. If your ball is lost, it is a one stroke penalty.
On Hole #15, A log was placed right of the tree to prevent carts from driving under that area and tearing the top of the cart off. The Pro Shop said it is a temporary immovable obstruction. We will make that a Local Rule for our club that if your ball comes to rest by the log, you can drop it on either side, NO PENALTY.
Do Not Attempt to try to move either log.
PLEASE NOTE: These are Local Rules for the Women's Club, not SCGA Rules!

Out of Bounds / Lost Ball / Provisional – Rule 18
This local rule is in effect for pace of play. It provides an alternative to stroke and distance relief. For two (2) penalty strokes, you can estimate the spot where your ball is lost or went out of bounds and then find the nearest fairway edge that is not nearer the hole than the estimated spot. You can drop a ball in the fairway within two club-lengths of that fairway edge point, or anywhere between there and the estimated spot where your ball is lost or went out of bounds.
If you think that your ball might be out bounds or that you might not find it, you can play a provisional ball to save time. You must announce that you are playing a provisional ball before doing so. If you are then unable to find your original ball, or you find it out of bounds, your provisional ball is your ball in play under stroke and distance, and you don’t have to take the time to walk all the way back to the spot of your previous stroke.

Two nets on #5
Your ball is stuck in the netting, and you cannot get it down. The ruling on it is if you can identify it is your ball in the netting, you get stance and relief at the point the ball is in the net. NO PENALTY. If you take an unplayable, you can go back to the tee box and hit another for a 1 stroke penalty. (Confirmed with Los Robles Greens)
