In the event of a thunderstorm, suspend play immediately. If you cannot reach the clubhouse, find a low spot, stay away from trees, fences etc.

  • Ground under repair from which relief is allowed under Rule 16.1.

If droppings are found on the putting green, the player may remove the droppings from the line of play. If doing so improves the line of play or other conditions affecting the stroke, there is no penalty under Rule 8.1a.


Hole locations are indicated by the colour of the flags: 
White – Back, Yellow – Middle, Red - Front.
