Alexander

-- All pools Par 56

Both the tar and gravel paths and beyond (from the perspective of the current hole) are out of bounds on any hole. In the case of the gravel path it may be necessary to extrapolate the line of the path from a reasonable distance on either side. If it is difficult to call in or out, benefit goes to the player. The pond next to hole 17's fairway is out of bounds (border is roped).
