I am pleased to inform you that the ground works behind the 17th green will now be classed as ground under repair (GUR) for all SDM competitions until further notice, however will remain as out of bounds (OB) for any Pestana events that they may hold at Silves. For that reason, there will be no blue lines painted nor blue stakes around this area, however a dropping zone has been created on the left of the green near to the OB wall on the left of the fairway as you approach the green. To simplify matters, if your ball is over the plastic mesh fencing or the fencing interferes with your swing you must proceed to the dropping zone and drop a ball there, without penalty and the ball may be cleaned. Please do not enter into the GUR area to retrieve your ball as the club will not take any responsibility for any injuries incurred.
