Thanks to eagle-eyed Ken Hammond, an error to the summary (simplified) bunker rules was identified. Thank You Ken!
The original full rules in the Policies and Procedures were correct and have not changed.
The summary list is corrected on the rules summary page CLICK HERE
The complete set or rules is in the Policies and Procedures Addendum 4 CLICK HERE
The terms used here are very specific and affect the relief
UNPLAYABLE BALL – always requires a 1 stroke penalty, but your personal declaration.
An ABNORMAL CONDITION your ball could land in would be puddle in a bunker, a mud flat in a bunker, gully or no sand area. Your get a free drop (no penalty) in the bunker if there is a playable area in the bunker. If there is absolutely no playable spot in the bunker, you get a free drop outside the bunker (Back On The Line).
UNPLAYABLE BUNKERS – if the bunker is completely unplayable or if Course or DVP declare bunkers to be unplayable, you get a free drop outside the bunker (Back On The Line) – you still have to play across the bunker.
Note – for the most part we follow USGA rules. We define our exceptions in Addendum 4. Our exceptions are recognitions of our members seniors status, our needs for pace of play, and that we want fair, competitive and fun play.
