4.15 LIGHTNING: Guests are expected to exercise reasonable

is reported or observed in the area. During severe weather Guests are required
to leave the golf course and seek appropriate shelter. Guests expressly assume
all risk of injury while on the golf course due to lightning or other adverse
weather. Remuda may suspend or cancel any tournament or scheduled play if
weather conditions create a clear and present danger of personal injury or
death.
Advisory: Raising golf clubs or
umbrellas above the head increases the risk when lightning is near. Avoid open
areas, water, metal wire fences, overhead wires and power lines, isolated
trees, elevated ground, maintenance machinery and golf cars (golf cars are not
lightning proof). Seek the Clubhouse, maintenance buildings, automobiles or
other buildings.
5.1 GENERAL RULES: Each Guest must register and have their
own set of clubs. Only soft spikes are allowed on the golf course turf. Shirts
and shoes must be worn at all times. USGA and local rules govern play on Remuda
golf course. Golfers must play only one ball during rounds; hitting practice
balls is allowed only at designated practice range or practice green. Playing
more than one ball or practicing during course play is prohibited. Follow cart
signs, repair ball marks on the greens, replace divots and rake bunkers. Obey all
signs and supervisors, including Players Assistants.
Golf Cars are allowed on the fairways, maximum of two
riders per golf cart. Carts shall be driven on specific golf car paths whenever
possible and shall remain 30 (thirty) feet from greens and hazards and off all
tee box areas.
All players shall start playing only at number one tee
unless specifically authorized to start at another tee by the Golf Starter, and
shall not play at any time until the players ahead are out of range. Golf
Starters shall properly space golf groups (approximately every eight minutes)
to ensure speed of play and safety on the course. Do not tee off or hit into
other players or maintenance personnel. Follow rules of “Ready Golf” to keep
pace of play flowing. Observe all out of bounds markers and property lines. Every
person must obey the directions of the Course Superintendent, PGA or Teaching Professional,
Player’s Assistants and Tee Starter with reference to order of play, practicing
and behavior on the grounds.
All leagues, tournaments and special events shall be
scheduled with management. No Guest shall golf a round in a group larger than a
foursome, that is, containing no more than four persons. No Guest shall
approach or otherwise hit a golf ball onto or towards a green when in close
enough proximity for the ball to hit players still on the green or after a golf
course employee has removed the flag on the green for maintenance purposes, and
shall not approach or hit the ball until the flag has been reset and the player
or golf course employee is off the green.
5.2 “READY-GOLF”:
Guests should be ready to play as soon as a safe shot can be made,
irrespective of who is closest to the pin. Simultaneous shots are allowed if
there is no possibility of ball collisions. It is essential that speed of play
is not delayed. Guest should pick up their ball when they can no longer score
better than three over par on a hole. It is a group’s responsibility to keep up
with the group in front. If a group loses ground on the group in front,
therefore delaying following groups, following groups should be invited to play
through. When playing on or near the putting green players should leave their
bags or carts in such a position as will enable quick movement off the green
and towards the next tee. When the play of a hole has been completed, players
should immediately leave the putting green. Players should not mark scorecards
until the next tee. The first guest to tee off should mark scorecards after
tee-off. If a ball is lost or is out of bounds a provisional ball should be
played to save time. Players should not search more than five minutes before
moving on or waving through following groups. Guests should keep an extra ball
available, to eliminate the need for walking back to bags or car when a
provisional ball is needed.
When on the green, Guests should “putt out” whenever
possible instead of marking the ball. The first person that “putts out” should
tend and replace the pin for other players. Watch other shots, as well as your
own, to help pinpoint the position of their ball and try to identify the
finishing position by using a nearby tree or landmark. Offer to rake the bunker
for groups ahead so they can play their next shots quickly. Guests should
refrain from giving play instruction on the course, that is what the driving
range and practice green is for. Anticipate the club or clubs you may need and
go directly to your ball. Study and clear the line of your putt while others
are doing the same. If possible, repair ball marks and divots while waiting for
other players. When approaching a green, drive your golf car to the side or
rear of the green on the best direct path to the next tee. Do not leave the
golf car in front of the green where you will have to go back to get it.
5.4 GOLFER’S ETIQUETTE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Guests should always show consideration for
other players by not disturbing their play by moving, talking or making unnecessary
noise. Guests should ensure that any electronic or noise making device taken
onto the course does not distract other players. Guests should not tee the ball
until it is his or her turn to play. Guests should not stand close to or
directly behind the ball, or directly behind the hole, when a player is about
to play. On the putting green, Guests should not stand on another player's line
of putt or, when he is making a stroke, cast a shadow over his line of putt.
Players should remain on or close to the putting green until all other players
in the group have holed out. Avoid stepping on the hole when retrieving your
ball. In stroke play, the person acting as a marker should, if necessary, check
the score with the player concerned and record it. In the case of a serious
breach of etiquette, Guests may be asked to leave.
5.5 SPIRIT OF GOLF:
For the most part, golf is played without the supervision of a referee
or umpire. The game relies on individual integrity to show consideration for
other players and to abide by the Rules of play. All players and guests should
conduct themselves in a disciplined, courteous, and sportsmanlike manner,
irrespective of how competitive they may be.
Remuda may adopt and publish policies from time to time relating to various
matters. Most policies are incorporated into these Rules, Regulations,
Policies, and Procedures. Others are published in the newsletters or posted in
clubhouse. Each Guest has a duty to keep informed of and abide by policies as
published.
