Players need to be aware of the dangers of lightning and high wind on the golf course. If you are concerned about lightning or high wind, come off the course immediately. If you are caught out on the course during severe weather, please follow the below procedures and take action to ensure your safety.<\/p>\n
Players should keep in mind that evacuation of the course can take up to 20 minutes from the sound of the first siren. In the event of a potential lightning strike a decision must be made to cancel or suspend play as early as possible to allow enough time for members and guests to clear the course.<\/p>\n
Where possible, players will be warned before play about the potential for severe weather occurring on the course. Once the severe weather has reached the golf course and surrounds, no staff\/member will be permitted to access the course until it has been deemed safe.<\/p>\n
The Manager, Professional or Member of the Committee, shall make an assessment as to the appropriateness of suspension\/cancellation of play due to the potential for lightning strikes.<\/p>\n
If the playing conditions are deemed dangerous, the Manager, Professional or Member of the Committee will close the course. This information will be passed on to the players through the golf shop. They will advise players not to commence their game. For players already on the course one long blast will be sounded with an air horn on the 1st<\/sup> tee. Where possible, golf shop staff will advise players on course of the impending severe weather. On hearing this horn all players MUST suspend play. No staff\/members will be allowed access to the course after the siren has sounded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adverse Weather Conditions Players need to be aware of the dangers of lightning and high wind […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"parent":8,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/page-modular.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-3042","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
