Blue Arc - Don't forget it's a Local Rule - you still need to see if it's in effect at your course.

Yup! I'm almost sure it is. I'll check in the pro shop next time I'm there.

Boy am I stupid. Rule 9 on the back of the card. In my defense I had to magnify it 200% before I could read it. Man am I getting old...

This is the decision that covers it:

33-8/13 Local Rule for Ball Deflected by Power Line

Q. An overhead power line is so situated that it interferes with the play of a hole. Would it be appropriate for the Committee to make a Local Rule allowing a player whose ball is deflected by this power line the option to replay the stroke, without penalty, if he wishes?

A. No. However, a Local Rule requiring a player to replay the stroke would be acceptable. The following text is suggested:

"If a ball strikes the power line during play of the ____ hole, the stroke is canceled and the player must play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was played in accordance with Rule 20-5 (Making Next Stroke from Where Previous Stroke Made)."

In some cases the Committee may wish to include in the Local Rule the towers or poles supporting such lines when the towers or poles are positioned such that they interfere with the play of the hole. The local rule must be in force or it's just treated as a rub of the green and you play the ball as it lies.

There is another statement on the back of that card that I don't believe will hold up in court.

"You are responsible for any injury to people or damage to property caused by your actions, including errant golf shots."

I see this a lot, but that is subject to interpretation based on the facts of the incident and is not always the legal truth.
