The Management Committee may terminate a member’s membership if the member has membership fees in arrears of 2 months
IDEALS OF MEMBERSHIP
The enjoyment of golf depends on the co-operation, consideration and courtesy extended to fellow competitors. What is true of the game also applies to club membership. The spirit and image of the Club is projected by the way fellow members show respect, courtesy and consideration for one another. This courtesy and consideration should extend to the choice of dress generally, and in the standard of conduct on the course and in the clubhouse.
The standards of a golf club may be judged by the etiquette of the members. Members are asked to give close attention to:
- The rules of golf
- The etiquette of the game
- The local rules
- The regulations governing conditions of play
Your attention to these matters will thereby avoid penalties, promote harmony and make the game pleasant for all.
It is the responsibility of the proposer and seconder of a new member to see that they are completely assimilated into the Club. New members should be introduced to Club Officials, informed of Club Rules, and above all, ensure that they are sufficiently familiar with the rules and etiquette of the game.
ETIQUETTE ON THE GOLF COURSE
CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PLAYERS
In the interest of all, players should play without delay. No player should play until the players in front are out of range. Players searching for a ball should signal for players behind them to pass as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found; the group should not search for five (5) minutes before doing so. Players calling a group through should not continue to play until the players following them have passed and are out of range.
When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green.
Groups are required to keep their position in the field. If a group falls behind, every member of the group is responsible for regaining their position in the field.
Stops after nine holes should only be taken if time permits.
PLAYING UP
In all situations, members are not to play up if they are within hitting distance of another player, group or club employee.
All members are advised that the course does not provide for any hole to be a hit up hole during the course of play.
BEHAVIOUR DURING PLAY
No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke. Generally, the player who has the honour should be allowed to play before his opponent or fellow competitor.
CONSIDERATION FOR GOLF CLUB EMPLOYEES
The “Ideals of Membership” of showing respect, courtesy and consideration for fellow members also extends to employees of the golf club. Members are required to show courtesy to all employees at all times.
The Yeppoon Golf Club Inc has adopted safe work practices as required by Workplace Health and Safety Act and Regulations. All policies are in accordance with the Club’s duty of care to the safety of all golf participants and employees of the Club.
Course Maintenance: When a flag has been removed by greens staff for maintenance purposes, the green is out of play and golfers are not to hit up until the flag has been replaced and the green staff are clear of the green and surrounding area. Golfers are required to wait for an approaching vehicle or mower to pass or be out of range before playing their shot.
CARE OF THE GOLF COURSE
BUNKER MAINTENANCE
Before leaving a bunker, a player must smooth over all holes and footprints made by him with the rake provided
REPAIR DIVOTS, BALL PITCH MARKS
Through the green, a player should ensure that any turf cut or displaced is replaced immediately, and covered with sand. Each individual player must carry a sand bucket at all times. Any damage on the putting green made by the ball ie pitch marks must be carefully repaired. Golf shoes with metal golf spikes are not to be worn on this course.
PRACTICE ON THE COURSE
