MEASURING DEVICES

For all play at this course a player may obtain distance by using a device that measures distance only. If during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g. wind speed, gradient, temperature etc.) the player is in breach of Rule 14-3,for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional function is actually used.

SUSPENSION OF PLAY

a) Immediate suspension of play for reasons of danger will be signalled by ONE PROLONGED BLAST on a siren which will signify immediate suspension of play & players must mark their balls & return to the clubhouse straight away without playing any further strokes.
b) Suspension of play for other reasons will be signalled by THREE SHORT BLASTS on a siren.  Players may complete the hole they are playing or they mark the balls where they lie.  A player must not start playing the following hole.
c) Resumption of play is signalled by TWO SHORT BLASTS, REPEATED.  Play will be resumed immediately from where play ceased or the next tee if the hole was completed.

d) Fog ruling- If fog suspends play your tee time will advance by 10 minutes up to 1 hour. If after 1 hour then unfortunately you will lose your tee time. During Covid restrictions please do NOT get out of your car but wait to be called

WINTER RULES / PREFERRED LIES

A ball lying on a closely-mown area through the green may be lifted, without penalty and cleaned. Before lifting the ball, a player must mark its position, having lifted the ball, he must place it on a spot within six inches of and not nearer the hole where it originally lay, that is not in a hazard and not on a putting green. At times the introduction of fairway mats will be introduced. Players are allowed to lift, clean and site on the mat without penalty

AERATION HOLES

  • Through the green, a ball that comes to rest in or on an aeration hole may be lifted, without penalty, cleaned and dropped, as near as possible to the spot where it lay but not nearer the hole. The ball when dropped must first strike a part of the course through the green.
  • On the putting green, a ball that comes to rest in or on an aeration hole may be placed at the nearest spot not nearer the hole that avoids the situation
