d) Replace divots.
e) Use waste bins on course.
f) Obey signs.

Course Boundaries:
White stakes with black tops indicate adjacent out of bounds ditches, and are not out of bounds themselves. The roadway behind the 18th green (if ball is unplayable but not out of bounds, relief may be taken in the dropping zone provided, or rule 28), and on the right hand side of the 18th fairway between Green keepers shed and Clubhouse. White stakes, perimeter ditches (base) and fences, in the event of no perimeter ditch then the hedge is out of bounds. A ball is out of bounds when all of it is in, or beyond any of the aforementioned, whichever comes first. Internal out of bounds: on the left of the new 10th hole a ball in or beyond the ditch (base) which includes the public right of way and the new 13th hole.
