TCGC have adopted local rules to manage compliance under Covid-19 Level 2 until further notice;

• Players must leave the flagstick in the hole at all times. If the flagstick is removed this will result in a 1 stroke penalty.
• A ball is considered holed with the next stroke if it is within 12 inches (30cm) of the hole (gimmie)

 Bunker Rule

• Rakes have been removed from all bunkers
• If a player’s ball lands with a poor lie due to footprints, then free relief within one club length will apply.
• Relief should not be nearer the hole and the ball must remain in the bunker.

Only manual scorecards will be available for use. No Autoscore cards will be available until further notice

Complete and sign your own scorecards and leave in the card box for weekly upload to Dot Golf.

On Saturday and Sundays, tee times from 7.30am to 10.00am will be reserved for MEMBERS and MEMBERS GUESTS ONLY. Saturday and Sunday tee times to be booked on the normal Club Start Sheets.

A separate register for contact tracing will be in the Clubhouse for those that enter our Clubhouse Bar/Shop.

There will be hand sanitiser for use and soap for washing.

Shared surfaces will be regularly cleaned.

The Clubhouse Shop/Bar operating hours will be limited during the COVID-19 period.

IMPORTANT:

The Club may serve seated customers ONLY if they are there to eat. Alcohol may be consumed in the Clubhouse, but only as part of a meal.

We are required to adhere to the 'seated, separated, and served' principles. Table seating will be limited to maximum six people. Golfers should sit with their playing partners.

Please stick to these guidelines. The Government will be reviewing them again on Monday 25 May and hopefully, they will be further relaxed soon after.
