ETIQUETTE
• Players should respect the fact that the green keeper’s have right of way at all times. Wait patiently if they are on your fairway or green. They will try to avoid inconveniencing you and you should respect that they have important work to do.
• No one should talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke.
• Don’t stand on the line of players yet to play.
• No players should play until the players in front are out of range.
• Players should play without delay. Don’t waste time by filling in or checking scores on greens or when it is your turn to play — this causes hold-ups.
• When a ball is lost, call following players through promptly.
• Keep trundlers off apron around greens and no trundlers between bunkers and greens.
• Replace divots, repair pitch marks on the greens.
• Don’t be a litterbug. Take pride in your course.
• Avoid damage to the greens by not standing too close to the hole when handling the flag stick, or by dropping the flag stick onto the green.
• Keep your place in the field at all times.
• No sharing of Golf Clubs — one set per player.
• All cell phones must be switched off, on the course and in the Clubhouse lounge.
Remember, a “two” takes precedence over a “four” playing socially.

DRESS STANDARDS
The Committee recognizes that modern fashion trends can often create differences of opinion in what determines acceptable dress standards. Nevertheless, both on the course and in the Clubhouse, dress must be of a high standard to maintain the tone and dignity of the club.

THE FOLLOWING ATTIRE DOES NOT COMPLY:

Dirty or torn clothing, tracksuit pants, work pants or work shorts, beach shorts, t-shirts or shirts bearing overt advertising, singlet's, jandals, cleated or ridge sole shoes.

Members are requested to ensure that their guests observe these requirements.
