Worker Health and Safety
There are continuing incidents where player:
- failure to be aware of surroundings in the field of play;
- impatience;
- lack of common sense;
have placed green’s staff and outside workers at risk on the course.
All players need to be aware that green’s staff/outside workers have the right of way anywhere on the course.
The course work areas include greens, green surround areas, sand traps, fairways, rough; anywhere on the course that is in the field of play.
Players are reminded that green’s staff/ outside workers must be allowed to finish their task and move out of the way to safety.
A player is not allowed to hit their shot:
- onto the green if the flag is removed;
- towards, or in the vicinity of any worker;
unless that worker:
- replaces the flag and moves away from the green; or
- acknowledges the player and waves for play to continue; or
- moves away from the playing area.”
