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 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 left-hand side of the 1st fairway from the clubhouse.

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 30 mins 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 left-hand side of the 1st fairway from the clubhouse.

Fog during Open events/Societies - A klaxon horn will sound to indicate you must mark your ball and walk into the clubhouse. Reviews will be taken every 30 minutes up to a total of 1 hour & 30mins. If fog persists play 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.

Wet weather

The course condition is checked by the Course Manager on a daily basis and he will adjust our ‘Course Status’ on Intelligent Golf. This will include our Traffic Light System which will identify whether buggies, trolley’s or hire buggies are allowed to be used.

Rain stopping play during general play - A klaxon horn will sound to indicate you must walk into the clubhouse. This will be reviewed every 20 minutes. If poor weather does not improve, we may close the course for the whole day.

Rain stopping play during competitions - A klaxon horn will sound to indicate you must mark your ball and walk into the clubhouse. This will be reviewed every 30 mins up to a total of 1 hour & 30 mins. If poor weather has not improved after this timeframe the competition will be cancelled and a new date will be sought to play.

Rain stopping play during Open events/Societies - A klaxon horn will sound to indicate you must mark your ball and walk into the clubhouse. Reviews will be taken every 30 minutes up to a total of 1 hour & 30mins. If poor weather persists play will be cancelled.

Lightning

A klaxon horn will sound to indicate you must mark your ball and walk into the clubhouse immediately. A review of safety will be taken every 20 mins during general play or 30 mins during a competition or open event/society.

In all cases the decision will be made by the Course Manager or Golf and Membership Services Manager. If both are absent, then the decision will be made by the Pro Shop Assistant on duty.

The Pro Shop will always be updated of any weather changes.
