Courtesy on the Course

1. Competition or match players have priority on the course at all times.
2. In the interests of all, players should play without delay.
3. No player should play until the players in front are out of range.
4. Players searching for a ball should signal the players behind them to pass as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not be easily found; they should not search for five minutes before doing so. They should not continue play until the players following them have passed and are out of range.
5. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green.
6. Players may “cut-in” on the 6th, 10th or 14th tees but ONLY if they will not delay players playing the previous hole.

Priority on the Course

1. In the absence of special rules, twoball matches should have precedence of and be entitled to pass any threeball or fourball match.
2. A single player has no standing and should give way to a match of any kind.
3. If a match fails to keep its place on the course and loses more than one clear hole on the players in front, it must allow the match following to pass.

Care of the Course

1. Before leaving a bunker, players must carefully fill up and smooth over all footprints and ball marks.
2. Rakes should be left in bunkers.
3. Through the green, players should ensure that any turf cut or displaced by them is replaced at once and pressed down and that any damage to the putting green made by the ball or the player is carefully repaired. This does not apply on tees.

Shoes

Only recognised golf shoes may be worn on the course.

Dress

Trolleys and Buggies
