Question on internal OOB our course has a triangular shaped practise area, hole 12, hole 13 and hole 14.
Hole 12 is a dog legged hole which players use the practice area to gain a positional advantage.
Hole 13 is a par 3 where only occasional shanked or ricochet balls go in
Hole 14 is a long straight par 5 where only a hooked shot occurs
We want to use the area as OOB when playing Hole 12 but not OOB when playing holes 13 and 14
Is this within the rules?

Hi
Yes, you can have an internal out of bounds which is only in play on certain holes. There is a Model Local Rule (A-4 Internal Out of Bounds – link here: https://www.randa.org/rog/committee-procedures/8#8a_a-4 ) which can be used for this purpose..
