PLAYING RULES (Please note course specific rules may be added to the competition rules on the day)

TEE TO GREEN

    • All members of the team tee off from the designated teeing area.
    • The team members collectively decide which ball to play.
    • The ball is then marked with a tee or the like. Each player must then place the ball within one club length of the marker, no nearer to the hole. The player will then play their shot.
    • This continues until the ball is on the green.

ON THE GREEN

    • Team members to select the best positioned ball.
    • The ball is then to be marked.
    • Each player will putt from the same side of the marker, within one putter head (no more than 5cm) and no nearer to the hole.
    • This process will continue until the ball is holed.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE ABOVE PROCESSES ARE DONE QUICKLY. NO ONE LIKE A SLOW GOLF DAY. WE WILL BE MONITORING THE SPEED OF PLAY AND IF NECESSARY, WILL ASK TEAMS TO SPEED UP PLAY. PENTALITIES WILL BE ASSESSED IF THE SPEED OF PLAY DOES NOT IMPROVE.

Although the prize of the day for the competitive division is significant the most important thing on the day is to have fun, meet new people and engage with like-minded colleagues!
