Following R&A Guidance issued 29/06/2020, with effect from 01/07/2020 the following temporary local rules are in place :-

• Flagsticks
  • A player may ask another player in the group to use a club (not gloved hands, towels etc) to centralise the flagstick in the hole whilst putting out
    • All players should continue to avoid touching the flagstick itself at all times by using the ball lifting devices
    • Please be careful not to damage the hole when using the ball lifting devices, some players have been seen to be rather aggressive in their extraction efforts, a gentle lift is all that is required

• Bunkers
  • All bunkers remain in play, you may place within 6 inches not nearer the hole if you encounter a poor lie

• Scorecards
  • Players must continue to mark their own scorecard to avoid exchanging cards
