9) There will probably be a delay in posting up the results due to the amount of manual work required to finalise each medal, so please be patient.
I know that these dates may not suit everyone but we have tried our best to get everything crammed in so we have something for everyone to play for.

Golfers Guidance
Members may play in groups of 3 players, whilst adhering to social distancing measures. Fourball groups are permitted, however must not be represented by more than 3 households.
Scorecards provided for competition golf only if no access to electronic functions, no supplementary scores will be available.
In preparation for counting competition play, we should now start to follow the guidelines issued by CONGU in respect of what is permitted to enable competitions to be acceptable for handicap counting purposes. In particular, Preferred Lies in Bunkers are permitted. Local Rule will be brought into effect, with the exception being that the preferred lie taken must be taken by marking, lifting and replacing the ball, not nearer the hole, within six inches of the ball’s current location and within the bunker.

Raking the bunker prior to playing the ball is not permitted and so to enable players to have the opportunity of a reasonable option of where to place the ball when taking their preferred lie, players should make every effort to smooth out not only their foot prints but also the point where their club made contact with the sand to play their ball

Flags will be present on the greens but must be left in at all times unattended.
Hole fillers have been installed, please use two fingers to retrieve your ball.
Do not share golfing equipment.
Upon completion of your round, please vacate the Club grounds.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Let’s play golf!
