FOG, POOR WEATHER OR LIGHTNING

Fog, Poor Weather or Lightning- What should you do!

All weather delays follow the clubs current risk assessments.

Fog

Fog in general play - A klaxon horn will sound to indicate you must mark your ball and walk into the clubhouse. Play will be reviewed throughout the day. If fog

persists play may be cancelled for the whole day. Our benchmark for safety is if we can see the 1st bunker on the lefthand side of the 1st fairway from the

clubhouse. Fog being a natural phenomenon this will be decided by the Golf and Membership Services Manager or their designate.

Fog during competitions - A klaxon horn will sound to indicate you must mark your ball and walk into the clubhouse. Reviews will take place every 30 minutes

up until a total of 1 hour and if fog is still present the competition will be cancelled. Our benchmark for safety is if we can see the 1st bunker on the lefthand

side of the 1st fairway from the clubhouse. Fog being a natural phenomenon this will be decided by the Golf and Membership Services Manager or their

designate.
