To start with, I would advise against using that strategy
(playing to the left) when playing that hole. Try to keep the
ball to the right of center and you'll do a lot better. <br>

<p>Danny Machie asked a question regarding the ropes to the left
of the fairway on hole 9, Cardinal Course(see below). The
ropes were on several holes last year and there were a number
of questions about them last year as well, so I asked the
course about them and received the following. <br>
</p>
<pre wrap="">"Mark, The ropes are used to control golf car traffic. We planted a variety of fescues in the tree lines to cover the hardpan. The ropes are movable obstructions. Best, Greg"
</pre>
<p>So a ball to the left (or right) of the rope must be played
as it lies. If the rope or stake that holds it up
interferes with your swing then rule 24.1 applies. <br>
</p>
<p>Hope that helps, <br>

<pre>a question about rules and course condition.
on the cardinal course, hole number 9, there is some roped off area
to the left of the fairway. the area it covers seems to be from the bunker
and left to the parking lot.
is that ground under repair?
if so, how should we play shots that land in that area or to the left of
the rope?
