FUN GOLF RULES CHAT
Many thanks to our two very experienced referees and life members, Jenny Scotland, and Elizabeth Bell. We all appreciated their time to talk to us at coffee with questions on rules. We do suggest you download the R & A app. (Rules of Golf) it is easy to use, has quizzes to test yourself. Have a practise at home before you take it on course.
There are some rule books left if you would prefer to carry a book in your golf bag. See the main office or ask any of committee members for one.
A couple of things I would like you to consider.
- Please always carry a pitch repair. It’s helpful to all players to carry one, so if you see a divot on the green you can repair it, which I’m sure other members will appreciate.
- Please keep your phone on MUTE. If you’re expecting a call, perhaps put in your pocket, you will feel it vibrate. If you must answer, please be discrete and be aware of others in your group as well as those on other greens / fairways and tees around you.
- 40 Second play Rule. When it is your turn, and you’re by your ball – you have 40 seconds maximum to make your swing. We have a great driving range facility for you to practise your swing X number of times before you hit the ball. The 40 Seconds is Rule 5.6a : 5.6b(1).
No one wants to be a “Gary the Snail” from the Mr Men Books!
