GENERAL ETIQUETTE
All players should play without delay.
Players should not be concerned with the position of the group behind but at all times keep up with the group ahead. A time of four hours for 18 holes should be aimed for.
Notwithstanding the above, please wait until the players in front are out of range before hitting, unless they have called your group through.
Players should not search for 5 minutes before calling the following group through. This should be done as soon as it is apparent that the “lost” ball (s) will not be easily found.
A match has lost its position in the field when it is one clear hole behind the preceding match. It must make up the lost ground immediately OR allow the following match to play through.
If a match fails to do this, the following match is permitted to exercise its rights to play through.
On reaching a green, leave your clubs conveniently placed for subsequent movement to the next tee. DO NOT leave your clubs in front of the green.
Please leave the green immediately play of the hole has been concluded. Scorecards should be completed on the next tee.
The player with the honour at each tee should mark his/her card AFTER hitting off, unless the match ahead is still in range.
In Par and Stableford competitions, do not continue playing a hole after your stroke
allowance has been exhausted.
“Slow” players habitually fail to observe some or all of the above suggestions. The
Proprietor has the right to penalise offenders and persistent violation will lead to placement at the rear of the field on competition days.
The player on the lowest handicaps in any type of match or competition automatically
becomes the captain of his match and it is his responsibility to ensure that the etiquette of the game is observed.
Calling up on par 3’s is contrary to the Rules of Golf, is dangerous, and must not be
adopted by any player.
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.
The player who has the honour should be allowed to play before his opponent or fellow competitor tees his ball.
