COVID-19 – TEMPORARY COURSE RULES
THESE RULES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO ENABLE MEMBERS TO RESUME GOLF DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.

1. All players must maintain the 2m social distancing rule as set out by the UK & Welsh Government, unless it’s an absolute emergency where someone requires first aid etc.

2. Please do not share or touch belongings owned by someone else, i.e. a ball, club, drink, food etc and please do not shake hands.

3. It’s strongly advised that players are to carry with them; antibacterial gel and use it when they inadvertently touch something that doesn’t belong to them.

4. One person in the group is to mark the card. Please avoid sharing the card to review scores etc.

5. All flags/pins are to remain in the hole, please do not remove the flag/pin to retrieve your ball.  

6. All bunkers are deemed in play, to avoid unnecessarily touching of objects rakes have been removed, we ask that you swipe the sand with your foot or hand and then prefer your lie in the bunker.

7. Buggies to stay on closely mown areas. Buggies are not to be driven across slopes, down steep gradients, within 1m of an edge or at excessive speed, an overturned buggy would almost certainly result in an injury putting unnecessary pressure on the NHS

8. When hitting stray shots golfers must shout "FORE", this would give other golfers potentially at risk of being struck by the stray golf ball, time to attempt to protect themselves, which could lessen the severity of an injury.

9. Slow play must always be avoided, this is to reduce the likelihood of players congregating on tee boxes etc.

10. Please follow the directional signage and roped off areas set out on the course, as they are there to protect you.

We are seeking everyone’s cooperation to act responsibly to ensure your golf club remains open
