hazard rules

Gudday from Australia, does anyone know if this is true. I was told that you cannot take your golf buggy or cart into a hazard as it constitutes your club touching the hazard. cheers.

Never heard of that one.

You are allowed to take more than one club into a bunker AND put down the ones you decide not to use without it counting as touching or testing so I'd say that it wasn't true.

I suppose there might be a local rule to prevent damage to the hazard; come to that I can't think of why you'd want to drive your buggy into the sand or water .

The hazard is bush not bunker or water.

Not according to the definition in the rules it isn't

Hazards
A "hazard" is any bunker or water hazard.

There is nothing to prevent you providing you are not deemed to be testing the condition.

If it's a bunker or staked red/yellow it's a hazard, often it can be a ditch that sometimes or even never gets wet.

It is OK to take a bag or pull trolley into a hazard but you must not ground your club to test the ground. Not sure about Buggies or Carts, probably local rules/common sense for that.

Cheers guys for your thoughts.
