ETIQUETTE

  • Players are encouraged to adopt the “Ready Golf” Rule 6.4 on all tees to speed up the pace of play.
  • No player shall play until the player in front are out of range. If a group loses more than one clear hole on the players in front, it must allow the match following to pass through.
  • In the interest of all, players shall play without delay.
  • Players searching for a ball should allow other players coming up to pass them. They should signal the players following to pass and should not continue their play until those players have passed and are out of range.
  • Through the green a player should ensure that any turf cut or displaced is replaced at once and pressed down.  Any damage to the putting green made by the ball or the player is to be carefully repaired.
  • Players should ensure that when dropping clubs or the flagstick, no damage is done to the putting green. Neither players nor their caddies shall damage the hole by standing close to the hole or in handling the flagstick. The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole before the players leave the putting green.
  • When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green and mark cards at the next tee.
