Pace of Play

KEY POINTS FOR ALL PLAYERS

Keep up with the game ahead, not ahead of the game behind.


Play a provisional if you suspect that you may not find your ball or/and if it has gone into the gorse.


Be ready to hit your shot as soon as it is your turn to play.


Walk briskly between shots.


Make sure you line up your putt while waiting for your fellow competitors to putt.


Encourage slow playing partners to play quicker.


A “No Return” is not the end of the world if you are not scoring well and holding up play.


Not mark scorecards on the green but instead to do so on the next tee.


Invite players to play through if you fall at least one hole behind or if you are holding up players behind.

Average Times 2 ball - 3 Hours

External

Out with the course boundary defined by fences, white posts/lines and dry stone dykes.

2. Ground Under Repair

Ground under repair will be marked by blue lines and relief must be taken under Rule 16. Tractor marks maybe treated as GUR, provided they are in a closely mown area through the green.

3. Protection of Young Trees

Relief from young trees must be taken if they are staked or marked with blue lines.

4. Immovable Obstructions

Fixed sprinkler heads, steps in bunkers, golf course signage and furniture (but not boundary markers), artificial pathways are all considered to be immovable instructions and relief may be taken under Rule 16. A player may NOT take relief under this Local Rule if interference by other than the immovable obstruction clearly makes the stroke clearly impractical.

Drop zones are in place for any ball coming to rest within 2 club lengths of the practice net and fence adjacent to the 1st tee and shelter behind the 10th green.

Note: The dry stone dykes at the back of the 5th and 7th green the left hand side of the 8th green, the rear of the 17th green and front of the 18th tee are integral parts of the course. Therefore the ball must be played as it lies or declared unplayable under Rule 16.

5. Moveable Obstructions

Stones and Rakes in Bunkers are considered now to be movable obstructions and if a ball is inadvertently moved when taking relief, Rule 15 applies.

6. Water Hazards (Penalty Areas)

Water Hazards are marked by red and yellow posts and all areas of bridges and pathways within the lineage of the hazard markings are considered to be part of that hazard. Rule 17 applies.

7. Double Green

The double green at the 3rd and 6th . The hole is classed as one green, therefore Rule 13.1F does not apply.

8. Ready Golf Under Rule 6.4 is encouraged At All Times.
