7. There are many lateral penalty areas on Egwani. These are marked by a red line or stake. Please review proper options (4) regarding red penalty areas. IN 2024 WE ARE GOING TO CHOOSE THE OPTION TO MAKE ALL TALL GRASSES LATERAL PENALTY AREAS AS ALLOWED IN TH NEW RULES OF GOLF 2024-25. ALL UNMOWED TALL GRASSES WILL BE PLAYED AS LATERAL RED HAZARDS. CALL THE NUMBER ABOVE IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

8. Out of bounds stakes have been removed from number 2 and replaced with red stakes. Really the only out of bounds would be over the fence beside the 2nd green.

9. There will be a drop circle at the bottom of the hill on hole Number 11. Any shot over the hill that finds any red hazard please use the drop circle to increase play. This would not include tee shots over the hill as would not be truly possible to identify a margin of crossing other than that at the top of the hill.
