CODE OF COND U C T
Avoid slow play, keep up with the group ahead and apply ‘Ready Golf’ principles
to optimise enjoyment of the round.
Wave through groups (including single players) if they play at a faster pace.
All golfers must always respect their fellow players, this includes ensuring that
the following does not happen:
• Aggressive behaviour
• Misuse of equipment (e.g. throwing clubs)
• Shouting on the course.
Dress must be as per the guidelines (available separately) but broadly, smart golf
wear.
Mobile phones must be switched to silent and only used for calls in an
emergency. Other devices such as for GPS etc. are permitted but must not impact
negatively on fellow players.
Any member suspected or accused of unacceptable behaviour as characterised
above will be subject to immediate suspension pending an investigation, with the
penalty for such behaviour being termination of membership if proven, or if it is
believed that on the balance of probability the behaviour did occur.
The Board reserves the right to act against anyone who shows disregard for
any of the guidance outlined above, or any other behaviour that they deem
inappropriate for the Club and its members.
Complaints may be made by any person and must follow the complaints
procedure. Ideally, to avoid compromising any investigation, a complaint should
be logged within 7 days of the incident occurring and should be addressed directly to the Club Manager.
The Club reserves the right to ask anyone breaching the code of conduct to leave
the facility.
This Code of Conduct is not intended to create a bureaucratic, regulatory
environment, but rather to promote and enhance our Club’s values.
