Golf course layout (Revised Rules for Qualifying Competition (16.06.20):

• Bunkers: Normal Rules of Golf in force. For guidance Rule 12 applies.

• On the Green - guidance from CONGU: Flagsticks/Holes: We have made the decision to modify the depth of the hole to allow players to remove the ball without touching the flagstick, scores will be acceptable for either competition or supplementary score purposes. In such cases, the ball is considered holed if any part of the ball is below the surface of the putting green, even if not lodged against the flagstick. The flagstick may also be removed.

• Immovable Obstructions: Penalty Area markers and direction posts etc (with the exception of Out of Bounds posts): Normal Rules of Golf – Rule 16.

Where the areas above are handled by multiple people, we recommend that individuals take their precautions to protect others at all times and use hand sanitising sheets to wipe down after use.
