On walls and curbs that mark the out of bounds, the boundary is defined by the inside face of those walls or curbs.

Internal Out of Bounds → On HOLE 10: the entire right side marked by white stakes or lines. These stakes are considered immovable obstructions when playing a hole other than 10.

2º. Integral Objects

All unpaved paths and trails, along with any wooden sleepers within them, their curbs, steps, ramps and fences, and the stone walls on holes 7, 8, 9, 10, and 13.
