Rule 12 216 Definitions • Sand that has spilled over or is outside the edge of a prepared area, and • All other areas of sand on the course that are not inside the edge of a prepared area (such as deserts and other natural sand areas or areas sometimes referred to as waste areas). Bunkers are one of the five defined areas of the course. A Committee may define a prepared area of sand as part of the general area (which means it is not a bunker) or may define a non-prepared area of sand as a bunker. When a bunker is being repaired and the Committee defines the entire bunker as ground under repair, it is treated as part of the general area (which means it is not a bunker). The word “sand” as used in this definition and Rule 12 includes any material similar to sand that is used as bunker material (such as crushed shells), as well as any soil that is mixed in with the sand. Caddie Someone who helps a player during a round, including in these ways: • Carrying, Transporting or Handling Clubs: A person who carries, transports (such as by cart or trolley) or handles a player’s clubs during play is the player’s caddie even if not named as a caddie by the player, except when done to move the player’s clubs, bag or cart out of the way or as a courtesy (such as getting a club the player left behind). • Giving Advice: A player’s caddie is the only person (other than a partner or partner’s caddie) a player may ask for advice. A caddie may also help the player in other ways allowed by the Rules (see Rule 10.3b). Club-Length The length of the longest club of the 14 (or fewer) clubs the player has during the round (as allowed by Rule 4.1b(1)), other than a putter. A club-length is a unit of measurement used in de ning the player’s teeing area on each hole and in determining the size of the player’s relief area when taking relief under a Rule. For the purpose of measuring these areas, the length of the entire club is used, starting at the toe of the club and ending at the butt end of the grip. But any attachment to the end of the grip is not part of the club-length. Committee The person or group in charge of the competition or the course.
