RULES (Gentlemen & Ladies) (Rules 6 & 10 are not applicable to the Ladies) 1. Once the draw has been made no alteration or addition will be allowed. 2. To avoid hold-ups on the course every endeavour should be made by slower players to speed up play. 3.
In all knockout competitions the rounds must be played by
the given dates. The only exception to this rule could be illness,
when the committee might consider an
extension of the time limit. 4.
In all knockout competitions,
it is the responsibility of the first named player to contact his/her
opponent and agree on a date and time. It would be advisable
to play the match early on in each round so that sufficient time
is left to arrange a replay within the time where necessary - bad
weather, etc. Failure to play by the nominated date may mean one
or both players being eliminated. Players
must be prepared to play at any reasonable time, not just weekends. 5. Lateness on the Tee. In competitions where starting times have been published, a competitor who is up to 5 minutes late will be penalised 2 shots. After 5 minutes he will be disqualified. 6.
Members who fail to turn up at the correct tee-time without
an acceptable reason may incur a penalty of suspension from two
following individual competitions.
Any further failure in the same season will result in suspension
from four competitions. 8.
All knockout competitions are on a sudden death basis with
strokes taken again on the appropriate holes, the second time around. 9.
Competition prize winners are expected to attend the prize
presentations. Failure to attend without suitable apology is a discourtesy
to the Captain and the Committee reserve the right to withhold prizes
but not trophies from the prize winning members. 10.There
is no upper limit on handicaps in cup competitions and the best
nett of the day will
receive the trophy. However, all monthly medal competitions will
be played in two divisions 0/14 and 15/28 and prizes will be awarded
accordingly. 11.Members playing in QUALIFYING COMPETITIONS at other courses, whether they are members or not, MUST return cards to their home club - (Ladies - All Cards; Men - H’Cap - 0-12 All scores; H’Cap 13-28 - Only scores when CSS is broken). Failure to report scores returned (including no returns) can lead to suspension of handicap. ETIQUETTE
OF THE GAME OF GOLF
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. No
player should play until the players in front are out of range. In
the interest of all, players should play without delay. Players
searching for a ball should allow the players coming up to pass
them; they should signal to the players following them to pass,
and should not continue to play until those players have passed
and are out of range. Please
replace divots and repair pitch marks at all times. When
the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately
leave the putting green. Priority
on the course:- In
the absence of special rules, two ball matches should have precedence
over and be entitled to pass any three or fourball match. A
single player has no standing and should give way to a match of
any kind. Any
match playing a whole round is entitled to pass a match playing
a shorter round. If a match fails to keep its place on the course and loses more then one clear hole on the players in front, it should allow the match following to pass. |
