CARE OF THE COURSE
BUNKERS
Always enter the bunkers at the lowest point
Pull rake towards you as you exit the bunker
If required, rake other areas affected
Do not pile sand at the edge of the bunker. Push back excess sand
Do not rake the face of the bunker. Smooth out with the back of the rake
REPAIRING PITCH MARKS
Start at the back of the mark and push forward with the repairer
Use repairer around all sides of the pitch mark and slowly ease turf towards the centre of the mark
Do not lift soil upwards
Lightly tap down with putter
REPAIRING DIVOTS
Always start at the back of the divot and push forward with your clubhead.
ON THE GREEN
Don't drop the flagstick on the putting surface
Always lower the flag by club or by hand
Avoid damage to surrounds of hole by placing the flagstick in the middle
GREEN SURROUNDS
Do not take trolleys in between the Green and Bunker
SLOW PLAY
It is your responsibility to arrive onto the tee AT LEAST 5 minutes prior to your tee time so that you are ready to play when your tee time arrives
With the R&A rule changes this year, you have 40 seconds to play your shot and that starts when it is your turn to play and includes time taken to select a club and measure your yardages etc
You only have 3 minutes to search for your ball so please play a provisional ball if you are in any doubt that your ball may/may not be found
Rule 1. of the R&A Rules of Golf covers playing at a reasonable pace, considering others, and caring for your golf course-for example, by replacing divots, smoothing bunkers, and repairing ball pitch-marks. The committee has applied a code of conduct aligned with the R&A rules and you could receive a penalty if you are seen to be ignoring these rules
If you see your playing partners or any other members ignoring these rules, then please help us to maintain your enjoyment of the game and inform the Pro Shop or one of the Starters/Marshalls of any ill behaviour
