GENERAL NOTES

 

SLOW PLAY must at all times be discouraged. Target times are detailed on scorecard. Practice golf etiquette by playing a provisional ball (always inform your playing partners), take no longer than FIVE minutes to look for your ball and always wave players through if your group is losing ground. Slow play should be reported to the Match Secretary - who will decide if penalties be applied.   Players should appreciate it is not enough to stay in front of the group behind but to stay right behind the group in front.

 

Golfers should give way to walkers on the right of way at the seventh, eighth, thirteenth and fifteenth fairways.

 

Please repair your pitchmarks, replace divots and rake bunkers!!!!

 

During a practice round the hitting of more than two balls at any one hole is strictly forbidden.

 

Four ball matches are banned from first tee on a Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 pm to 6 pm or from within 30 minutes of a medal competition. Groups leaving the first tee MUST NOT become a fourball later. Cutting in on the course is ONLY permitted when you are authorised to do so by the starter. When you are on the tee the hole you are playing and the one behind MUST BOTH BE COMPLETELY CLEAR.

 

Priority

 

Ladies have priority on a Tuesday from 9.00 to 9.30 am, 12 noon to 1 pm and from 5 pm to 6 pm. Seniors have priority on Thursdays from 7.45 am to 10.15 am. Juniors have no priority on the course. Unaccompanied juniors may not play from the first tee between 3 pm and 6 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays or within half an hour of a medal competition.
