Emergency Procedures

The following emergency procedures
have been drawn up to assist anyone
involved in an incident, and to ensure
the safety of Members and Visitors to our Club.

ACTION RECOMMENDED FOR INCIDENTS ON THE COURSE

Should anyone require assistance, make contact with anyone in this list, and give the following information:

• Details of the incident or illness
• The exact location of the casualty
• It is recommended that groups of players arrange for one person
  to carry a mobile phone in their golf bag (switched off) in order
  to make a telephone call in an emergency.

LIGHTNING

Poor weather in itself is not a good reason for discontinuing play but bad weather accompanied by lightning, or the very real risk of lightning, most certainly is. Common sense dictates that play in these circumstances must be discontinued in the interest of safety. If there is an evident risk of lightning, play must be discontinued:

Players must proceed under Rule 6-8. It is the player's own responsibility to discontinue play when in his/ her opinion, lightning exists or is imminent. Players have a duty to themselves in these circumstances and must familiarise themselves with the Rules of Golf.

FOG and ICE

The fact that the course has not been officially closed does not warrant that it is fit for play.

Players have a duty of care not to behave in such a way that others may be injured by their actions. They also have a duty to take care not to injure themselves.

If conditions are foggy, or you are unable to see where the ball is likely to land, or ground conditions are such that it is impossible to judge how far the ball is likely to travel, do not play.

Playing in such conditions is dangerous - Players would do so at their own risk

WALKERS ON THE COURSE

Will all Members please exercise care with regard to Walkers crossing the Course on Public Footpaths that are clearly signed. Liability for any injuries caused by players not showing due care will lie with the player and NOT the Golf Club.

EMERGENCIES IN THE CLUBHOUSE

It is the responsibility of an members to comply with the Emergency and Fire Procedures as detailed on notices displayed throughout the Clubhouse and Club premises.

In the case of evacuation of the Clubhouse, the Assembly Point is located adjacent to the practice pitching green near the main car park.

ALL VISITORS TO THE CLUB MUST BE SIGNED IN AS A TEMPORARY MEMBER PAYING A GREEN FEE, OR AS A GUEST WHO HAS SIGNED THE VISITORS BOOK IN THE LOUNGE

 THIS IS A RULE OF THE CLUB AND IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE
