Cards

Flag sticks

- players are not allowed to hold the flag straight with their putter while their partner is putting
Bunkers

- see below linked video from Ballyliffin Golf club
Practice
- players can only play one practice 9 holes before entering the competition
Lost Balls
- if in any doubt as to the whereabouts of their ball a player should play a provisional ball.
- this will help to keep things moving and cut down on the number of times a player will have to double back to replay their shot
As this is the first competition of the year and we are using a new booking system and playing under different rules we ask all golfers to be patient and vigilant.
This weekend is a trial run for everyone. Things may or may not need to be changed.
We hope everyone will have an enjoyable game and stay safe.
