We make no apology for publishing this outline of the rules and etiquette expected of the members of our Society, as we feel it is our duty to ensure that the standards of dress and behaviour, both in the clubhouse and on the course of the clubs we visit, are kept as high as possible.

Course
All golfers must be aware of the Rules of Golf, Golf Course Etiquette and the Local Rules of the host Golf Club before playing on the course.

Dress Code
On the courses we play correct dress must be worn at all times. Trousers tucked inside socks; the wearing of jeans; collarless, sleeveless or emblazoned sweatshirts or training type footwear does not constitute correct dress. If shorts are worn they must be tailored.

In the clubhouse only smart casual dress is acceptable. The following are not acceptable:-

  • Caps
  • Torn,frayed or shaded trousers
  • Singlets; sleeveless or collarless shirts
  • Sweaters without shirts
  • Garments displaying large, non-golf related, logos
  • Track or Leisure suits (or trousers)
  • Shirts specific to other sports - soccer, rugby, GAA etc
  • Footware worn on the course (except in the Locker Room)

Slow Play

Slow play irritates everyone on the golf course, members should be aware at all times of their position on the golf course. It is their responsibility to maintain their position on the course and avoid undue delays. Any group that has lost a complete hole on the group ahead of them should wave faster groups, or those immediately behind them, through irrespective of the number of players in the group.
If a member consistently disregards the requirement to observe the etiquette of the game the Committee may well introduce appropriate disciplinary action.

Mobile Phones
Mobile phones must be switched off and, except in an emergency, not used on any golf course where the society is holding an event.
