Drop from paths and roads on the course

A ball may be lifted, cleaned and dropped within 1 club length from your nearest point of relief, not nearer the hole.  Note that your nearest point of relief may leave you in a less favourable position so ensure you assess that before lifting your ball.  If you choose to take a drop full relief from the path must be taken.

 

Drop from immovable obstructions near the putting green (e.g. Spinkler Heads)

​

A ball within two club lengths of an immovable obstruction that lies within two club lengths of the putting green (such as a sprinkler head) may be lifted, cleaned and dropped within one club length, not nearer the hole.

 

Use of Buggies

​

Buggies are permitted to use in club competitions except for the Saturday competition where a valid medical exemption is required.  Subject to course conditions the use of buggies on a given day may be prohibited for all players.  Please observe notices or check in the pro-shop if you are unsure.
