29 Oct Inclement Weather Procedure
As the rainy season is coming, I thought it was a timely reminder to send the inclement weather procedure.
Procedure to suspend play due to inclement weather.
On hearing the siren sound and/or seeing a blue light showing from above the pro shop, players have the option of completing the hole they are currently playing or mark their ball and cease play. Players should seek shelter in close proximity to their marked ball if possible.
When the course returns to a playable condition, the siren will again be sounded and/or a green light will show from above the pro shop, indicating players may resume their game.
If conditions do not improve and play is cancelled, players will be informed as soon as possible, either by a single long blast of the siren and/or a red light showing from above the pro shop.
Procedure to suspend play due to a dangerous situation (i.e. lightning).
On hearing one long blast of the siren and/or a red light showing from above the pro shop, golfers are to mark their ball, discontinue play immediately and RETURN TO THE CLUBHOUSE.
Members who continue to play after the siren has been sounded and or the red light showing will be disqualified from the competition.
When it is safe to continue play, players will be informed as soon as possible, either by a single long blast of the siren and/or a green light showing from above the pro shop.
If players feel they are in danger from lightning they may mark their ball and discontinue play prior to the siren being sounded and/or any warning lights being activated.
