Knockout Competitions 1 It is the responsibility of both parties to arrange the match in good time. However, the

party making first contact will have priority in offering dates and such dates must be reasonable and should include weekends. If the party being offered the dates cannot accept or offer a reasonable compromise then the first contacting party can claim the tie. Should either party feel that unreasonable conditions are being offered please see clause 3.

2 It is essential that matches are played within the set time scale. It is therefore emphasised that contact between parties be made as soon as practicable to ensure sufficient time to arrange it is available

3 Difficulty in arranging any match should be referred to the competition organiser. 4 Where possible players are asked to avoid official medal/stableford competition

days when playing matches but may play on such days provided:-

a. No matches are permitted to start before 08:00 am b. Only three-ball matches are permitted to book and play before 10:30 am, i.e.

Participants in either the medal or stableford (Bye Law 33). c. After 10:30 am four-ball or two-ball matches may be played provided a

starting time has been booked d. All 2 & 4 balls have equal priority on the course although any match failing

to maintain its station should afford others the normal courtesy of calling them through.

5 In the event of one side or one team member failing to turn up at the agreed time the opposition may claim the match, except in the case of Fourball match where one opponent may play against the other team if he so wishes.

Buggies A member may use a golf buggy, inclusive of the Club Hire buggies, whilst competing in any club competition provided the course has not at the time been declared unfit for trolleys and/or buggies, and as long as they have suitable insurance cover in place. Exception: Buggies may not be used in 36 hole competitions played over a single day unless the competitor can provide a valid current medical certificate of disability as defined by the EGU guidelines and has requested permission to use a golf buggy by the closing date for the competition they wish to enter. Practice Practice and/or play on the course is not permitted before playing in a stroke play competition on the same day except on designated practice areas. NB: The practice area adjacent to the 13th fairway is closed on competition days Suspension of play


If the committee or its authorised representative considers that the course is not in a playable condition or that there are circumstances which render play impossible, they shall have the authority to order the temporary suspension of play or to declare play null and void and to cancel all scores for the round in question Competitions 1 Starting points:

- the first and tenth tees only are authorised starting points for stroke play competitions, unless otherwise designated by the Captain’s Committee

2 Shortened course:

4 Stoke allowances:

- stroke allowances must be taken in accordance with the indices shown on the card

5 Starting times:

- a starting time sheet will be normally be displayed approximately 10 days prior to monthly medals and stablefords

- any player unable to play at the time he has reserved must delete his entry at the earliest possible date

- as a matter of courtesy he should also advise his intended playing partners - if the starting sheet is no longer available the club manager or professional

disciplinary actions being taken Introduction of Guests (Shirley Golf Club Bye-Laws Part 3 – miscellaneous No.43 and 44) Members may introduce guests:-

Up to 3 guests per member may be introduced at the reduced rate with a limit that no guest is allowed to play more than 6 times during the club year.

On a competition day guests may not be introduced before 12.00 Noon (with the proviso that the competition is not scheduled beyond that time. ) (April~September) or 2.00pm (October~March)”

(For the avoidance of doubt, visitors may not play as a member’s guest more than 6 times during the club year in total, i.e.; even if introduced by different members the total of introductions must not exceed 6)

Visitors


Visitors are welcome except on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. They should be members of a recognised golf club and must produce a letter of introduction and/or handicap certificate on demand. Visitors may not use the snooker room. Course Etiquette 1 The professional and the two captains of the club have priority on the course. They

should always be offered the courtesy of being called through. 2 Quicker players should always be called through. Do not hold up play on the course.

Under the bye law 27 members playing in competitions should be called through by players not in competitions.

3 Always be aware that voices can carry a long way – consider others and keep noise to

a minimum 4 Always rake bunkers, replace divots and repair pitchmarks. 5 All golfers on the course should give way to and call through faster playing games or

players. Precedence should also be given to Matches where appropriate and reasonable. (bye law 30)

Amendment of Rules The committee may amend the Rules for the Men’s Competitions at any time. Such amendments will be incorporated into the revisions to the Rules from time to time, but any delay in producing such revisions will not invalidate the amendments decided upon by the Committee at that time.
