EXHIBIT A

LOCAL RULES

USGA rules govern all play, amended by the following local rules:

• Fiddlesticks waste areas are considered “through the green,” you may ground your club but in no way, improve your lie. An area is deemed to be a waste area if there are no rakes present. The areas surrounding #9 and # 18 of the Long Mean are to be played as bunkers. • All cart paths are to be played as immovable obstructions. Blue stakes will define the transition from waste area to cart path and vice versa. Free relief from an immovable obstruction is 1 club length from the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole. On #15 of the Long Mean brown stakes are used to define the margin of the cart path. • #9 Long Mean Drop Zones: If your ball enters the water hazard, (defined by yellow stakes) you have the additional option of dropping in the drop zone adjacent to the Long Mean practice putting green.

• On holes #3, #9, & #18 of the Long Mean, the inner edge of the bulkhead will define the margin of the hazard.

• The use of artificial yardage measuring devices is allowed. (Rule 14-3 applies)

• White lines define ground under repair. You may take relief without penalty from all trees that are either staked, tagged, or newly planted trees with defined wells.

• The inner edge of all roadways along the hole being played shall define out of bounds. A ball which crosses a road defined as out of bounds and comes to rest beyond that road is considered out of bounds, even though it may lie on another part of the course. • The “embedded ball rule” is in effect “through the green.” Anywhere” through the green” a ball which is embedded in its own pitch-mark in the ground, except loose sand, may be lifted without penalty, cleaned and dropped as near as possible to the spot where it lay no nearer the hole. • Bulkheads are an “integral part of the course” and, therefore, there is no relief. EXCEPTION: If the steps on # 1, 6, or 12 of the Long Mean affect your stance or swing, you may drop within one club length of the nearest point of relief no nearer the hole, without penalty.

• All flowerbeds, through the green, are designated by yellow stakes with green tops. These
