PITCH MARKS

THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN ON A MONDAY MORNING. EACH GOLF BALL ON THE 15^TH GREEN IS SAT IN AN

UN- REPAIRED PITCH MARK.

If a pitch mark is repaired when it is made it will recover within a couple of days. If left it will not recover leaving an uneven surface.

PLEASE REPAIR YOUR PITCH MARKS!!!!

·         Take care not to cause scuff marks with spikes shoes, and never take bags or trolleys on to the green.      

·         Do NOT replace divots as these may slip during the next golfers swing.

·         To avoid unnecessarily damage to the tee do not take practice swings or take your trolley on to the teeing ground.

·         Please replace divots, even if you are in the rough.

·         Follow paths where marked.

·         Rake bunkers after use, leaving the rake on the stand provided.

·         Where no rake is available, do the best you can with a club or your foot, and report the missing rake on your return to the clubhouse.

·         Please use the litter bins provided.

·         Please show courtesy to other golfers at all times by remaining quiet or still particularly if you think that you may be within the line of sight of golfers putting out on a nearby green.

Pace of play

·         It is a strange fact of life that very few people admit to being poor drivers, bad husbands, or slow golfers. The R&A have at least tried to help with the last of these sensitive issues and have printed clear rules that must be enforced. The R&A consider them to be so important that they place them at the very front of their Rule Book.

·         Players should play without delay.

·         If you have to start looking for a lost ball CALL THE MATCH BEHIND THROUGH IMMEDIATELY. Do not wait five minutes before doing so.

·         Two ball matches have precedence and should be invited to pass any three or fourball match.

·         A single player has no standing and should give way to a match of any kind.

·         Any match playing a whole round is entitled to pass a match playing a shorter round.

To speed up your play try the following:

·         Mark cards on tees, not greens.

·         Clear greens immediately. Place your trolley/bag at the exit of the green.

·         Walk briskly to your ball.

·         Walk to your ball, not your partner's ball first.

·         Think about your next shot as you approach the ball.
