RULES OF THE GREEN. 

1. The following places are out of bounds: 
(a) The road and all beyond it. (b) The Canteen grounds except as specified in Rule 3. (c) The Khoja Cemetery. 

If a ball lie out of bounds, a ball shall be dropped at the spot from which the stroke was played under penalty of loss of distance. 

2. (a) If a ball lie in any bushes on the course except in a bunker it may be lifted - or if the ball cannot be found another in its place - and dropped with a penalty of one stroke behind the hazard. If the nature and position of the hazard render this impossible, then not more than two club lengths from the point of entry and not nearer the hole. 

(b) If a ball lie in the Powder Magazine or the surrounding bushes it may be dropped, with a penalty of one stroke, behind the bunker between the 5th and 6th holes, on the side furthest from the hole which is being played. If the ball cannot be found another may be dropped in its place. 

Save as mentioned in this Rule and in Rules 3, 4, 5, and 6, hereafter, no ball shall be lifted; it must be played wherever it lies or the hole given up. 

3. If a ball lie in the Canteen grounds in playing the 4th or the 8th hole, it - or, if it cannot be found, another ball in its place - shall be dropped near the point of entry, but not nearer the hole, with a penalty of one stroke.

5. If in playing the 5ht or 7th hole a player's ball lie on, or to the east of, the footpath near the German Club grounds and leading from the corner of the Canteen grounds to Kiungani, it shall be lifted and dropped on the west side of the footpath with two club lengths of the point of entry, but not nearer the hole, with a penalty of one stroke. 

6. A ball which is found to be lying in a crab-hole may be lifted and replaced by hand as near as possible to such hole without penalty. If the crab-hole be in a hazard, the ball must be replaced in the hazard. If the ball cannot be recovered, another may be substituted. 

If a ball in play be found to be lying on any other putting-green than the one being played to, it shall be lifted and placed by hand outside the putting-green, but not nearer the hole, without penalty.
