BUNKERS Having played a shot from a bunker, a player should rake the bunker and leave the rake placed in the centre of the bunker, facing the hole, with the rake handle resting on the edge of the bunker. 6. PACE OF PLAY Always consider other golfers on the course, especially the players directly behind you when searching for a ball. If it becomes apparent the ball will not be easily found, signal to the group behind to play through. (Members should familiarise themselves with the Pace of Play indicator requirements provided inside the back pages of the diary). 7. SAFETY ON THE COURSE Prior to playing a stroke or making a swing, every player should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a position to be hit by the club, the ball or any stones, pebbles, twigs, or the like which may be moved by the stroke or swing.

Members playing in competition MUST maintain their position on the course in relation to the timetable provided. All Members have responsibility for resolution of slow play concerns. Reference to these guidelines will enable players to monitor their own pace of play and also that of others. Members should expect to be challenged by others if not maintaining the pace of play required. If Members are unable to keep up with the game in front, the game behind MUST be played through. How to avoid Slow Play 1. Having played a wayward shot, Members should immediately consider whether a provisional ball should be played. The Committee does not expect this decision to be made AFTER a ball is declared lost. 2. If the game behind is waiting on the tee and Members are looking for a ball, the game behind MUST be waved through. 3. When approaching a green, Members should consider where the next tee is located and leave clubs appropriately to ensure the green can be cleared promptly upon conclusion of play. 4. Walk smartly between shots. 5. Marking of cards should be done when time permits NOT upon conclusion of play at any given hole.
