COURSE E TIQUE TT E
1. 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.
2. We encourage all players to adopt ‘Ready Golf’ and playing their shot when
safe and ready to do so. In competition golf the player who has the honour
should be allowed to play before his opponent or fellow competitor plays his ball.
3. No player should play until all in front are out of range and in fog, not to hit
the ball further than the player can see. The course policy details the suspension
of play policy found on the clubs’ website.
4. In the interest of all, players should play without delay, maintaining contact
with the group in front.
5. Players searching for a ball should allow players coming up to pass them. They
should signal to the players following them to pass and should not continue their
play until those players have passed out of range.
6. Before leaving a bunker, a player should carefully rake up all holes and footmarks by using the rakes provided. The rakes should then be replaced in the
centre of the bunker along the line of play.
7. Players should ensure that all pitch marks and divots are repaired.
8. Players should ensure that no damage is done to the putting green and that
they should not damage the hole by standing too close to the hole. The 昀氀agstick
should be replaced properly in the hole before the players leave the putting
green.
9. Players should immediately leave the green upon completion of the hole.
10.Under no circumstances should a trolley or buggy be taken onto any green or
tee.
11.When taking a practice swing a player should avoid causing damage to the
course, particularly, the tees, by removing divots
