Members Log-in:
Fog and Ice
The fact that the course may not be 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 of care not to injure themselves. If conditions are foggy and the player is 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 do so at their own risk.
Lightning
If there is a risk of lightning, players are advised to stop play – if in competition, rule 6-8 of the Rules of Golf explains the procedure to be taken. In the absence of a klaxon, play can resume once the threat of lightning has passed. When not in competition, players are still advised to stop play but it is their decision whether to continue or not. Playing in such conditions is dangerous and players do so at their own risk.
