Dress Code

The following items of dress may NOT be worn on the course or in the Clubhouse at any time, namely :

Jeans, trainers, T-Shirts, anoraks, tracksuits, shell-suits and any clothing made of denim material.

Trousers must not be worn tucked into socks at any time, unless worn as Plus 2's or Plus 4's.

Shirts, whether tailored or otherwise must be worn inside the trousers. When tailored shorts are worn they must be accompanied with appropriate hose. Men should wear knee length socks or short white socks.

Etiquette

In the interest of all, players should play without delay. No player should play until the players in front are out of range. Players searching for a ball should signal the players behind them to pass as soon as it becomes clear that the ball will not easily be found; they should not search for five minutes before doing so. They should not continue to play until the players following them have passed and are out of range. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green.

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.

Before leaving a bunker, a player should carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints made by them.

Through the fairway, a player should ensure that any turf cut or displaced by him is replaced at once and pressed down, and that any damage to the putting green made by the ball is carefully repaired.

Players should ensure that no damage is done to the putting green, and that neither they nor their caddies damage the hole by standing close to it, in handling the Flagstick or in removing the ball from the hole. The Flagstick should be laid gently on the green and properly replaced in the hole before the players leave the putting green. Players should not damage the putting green by leaning on their putters, particularly when removing the ball from the hole.

SLOW PLAY - PLEASE NOTE

It is perfectly possible to complete a four ball round in three and a half hours. Slow play usually results from failure to clear the green promptly or from being unprepared to play your shot immediately it is your turn.

Keep pace with the group ahead of you. If space opens in front of you, allow a faster group to play through, regardless of group size. This includes allowing larger groups and singles players to play through.

Your co-operation in eradicating this malaise will be greatly appreciated.
