ETIQUETTE

THE INFORMATION BELOW HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS A GENERAL GUIDE AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT COMMON SENSE WILL DICTATE HOW YOU ARE TO BEHAVE ON THE GOLF COURSE

Members are asked to pay particular attention to the following paragraphs – observance of them will add to the pleasure on the course for all concerned.

No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke.

• The player who has the honour should be allowed to play before his opponent or fellow competitor tees his ball.

• No player shall play until the players in front are out of range.

• In the interest of all, players should play without delay.

• A player who has incurred a penalty should intimate that fact to their opponent or marker as soon as possible.

• Players searching for a ball should allow other players coming up to pass them and they should not continue their play until those players have passed and are out of range.

• Before leaving a bunker a player should carefully fill up all holes made by him and then leave the rake in a flat section of the bunker.

• Please ensure you repair your:

• Divot marks by filling with sand; and
• Pitch marks on the green by using either a tee or a pitch repairer.

• It is the duty and responsibility of the lowest handicapped player in the group to see their fellow competitors replace all divots, smooth out all footmarks in bunkers and observe etiquette and rules of the game.
