Golf Club - General Course Etiquette
Bunkers : Take care to rake the sand after playing out of a
bunker, both from where the shot was played and footprints in and
out of the sand. Leave rakes in the bunker
Pitch Marks : Repair your Pitch Marks at ALL times, preferably
with a pitch mark repairer, on each green and where applicable. Also
repair any other pitch marks found. An un-repaired pitch mark can
take months to recover. How Best to Repair Pitch Marks
Divots : Repair divots on all parts of the course, ie. Tees,
Fairways, Semi Rough and Rough. The condition of the course will deteriorate
if divots are not replaced. On par three's please use sand and seed
mixture from the boxes provided
White Lines : At all times, obey directions for white lines,
hoops, ropes ... etc. White lines are painted and hoops and ropes
are positioned for the protection of the course
Buggies / Trolleys : Buggies and Trolleys are Not to be taken
on to the tees or around the green fringes, and never, between the
greenside bunkers and the green itself. Additional instructions for
Caddy Cars are posted in the cars themselves. These guidelines must
be followed at all times.
Slow Play : Remember if you have lost your position of play
ie. if there is a clear hole in front of your game, you MUST allow
the game behind through if they are waiting to play their shots. As
a rule, a medal round should not take longer than 3hrs and 30mins
to complete.
Course Courtesy : Those playing in Club Matches or Competitions
have priority on the course. If however, they are losing ground or
holding up non-competitors, they should call the non-competitors through.
Single players have no standing on the course. Players should not
play more than one ball on the course, unless it is a provisional
ball.
Mobile Phones : Mobile Phones are not to be used on the course
or in the Clubhouse, except in emergency. If it is necessary to use
a mobile phone, this is restricted to the car park only.
