Fog & Advers Weather Policy

When fog is present and the course is open, all players need to ensure that they keep a safe distance from the groups in front and behind, playing in these conditions is at your own risk and Marshall Leisure shall not be liable for any injury or damage caused whilst playing.

Should playing conditions deteriorate to a situation whereby it becomes dangerous to continue playing, air horns will be sounded, and all players should stop playing immediately. If playing in a club competition, players are required to mark their ball and return to clubhouse to await further instructions. Play will be suspended for a maximum of one hour from the moment the air horns have been sounded and should conditions not have improved within that time period then competition play will be deemed as abandoned. 

When fog reduces visibility to a situation whereby you cannot see the flags on greens 6 and 7 from the respective tee boxes then competition play shall be suspended.

If Lightning strikes nearby and is continuous then air horns shall be sounded and play shall be suspended, players should make their way to the clubhouse if it is safe to do so.

Any player(s) continuing play after air horns have sounded will be removed from that competition and may be subject to disciplinary action.

If snow falls causing the greens to remain white then play will be stopped and any competition play will be suspended as per above visibility conditions. Similarly if heavy rain causes the greens to flood during competition play and standing water becomes an issue then play will be suspended as above conditions.
