What is considered practice on the course?Practice on the course means playing a ball or testing the surface of the putting green of any hole by rolling a ball or rubbing the surface. Practicing on the course is not limited to hitting golf balls. Players are generally allowed to practice putting or chipping on or near the putting green of the hole just completed, any practice putting or chipping green, and the teeing area of the next hole. Practice strokes must not be made from a bunker or unreasonably delay play.
HOWEVER, CWDGA Rules Governing Tournament Play and Rules Governing Four-Ball Play prohibit practice after the completion of a hole in any CWDGA event anywhere other than the teeing area of the next hole to be played. The penalty for a breach of Local Rule I-2 is the general penalty applied to the next hole.
