Health & Safety

THE PRACTICE GROUNDPersons under the age of 13 MUST NOT use the practice groundwithout appropriate adult supervision; this includes crossingto/from the practice area to the golf club/pro shop.

Persons using the practice area are expected to be aware at alltimes of danger to others and to themselves. Care must be takenat all times to avoid accidents or injuries to themselves or otherswho may be present on the practice area. Please make sure thatthe practice area is clear with due allowance for the possibility ofan errant shot.

Walking to/from the practice area requires crossing Coupals roadat a point of limited visibility of approaching traffic. Extremecaution must be used at all times, especially when pushing a golfcart. Haverhill Golf Club cannot be held responsible for anyaccident however caused when crossing this road.

USE OF PRIVATELY OWNED BUGGIESThe use of privately owned single seat ride-on buggies arepermitted only by prior application to the Club Manager, and in linewith any trolley ban etc. Buggies can be dangerous if drivenwithout due care. Please always drive any buggies with dueconsideration to your own safety as well as that of otherpassengers/players. All buggies must be operated in accordancewith our Golf Buggy Safety Policy (displayed at the pro shop andon each buggy).

SUSPENSION OF PLAYPlayers must protect themselves in Health and Safety mattersespecially should there be a danger from lightning when play muststop immediately.

Rule 6-8 of the Rules of Golf makes it quite clear that a player isentitled to discontinue play if the player believes that there is adanger from lightning.

All players must adhere to the following Suspension of Playprocedure.

A suspension of play for a dangerous situation (e.g. lightning) willbe signalled by a prolonged single blast on the klaxon operatedfrom the Pro-shop. However, even if the klaxon is not sounded andthe players believe that there is real risk of, or danger from,lightning then the player is entitled to proceed under the provisionof Rule 6-8 and discontinue play.

During casual play, players have to proceed under Rule 6-8. Thismakes it the player’s own responsibility to discontinue play when,in his/her opinion, a danger from lightning exists. It is unreasonablefor the Club to monitor the course at all times.

If the klaxon has been sounded, then a player is not entitled tooverride that decision and continue play. When the klaxon hasbeen sounded for play to be suspended, players must discontinueplay immediately.

Every effort will be made to ensure the warning is sounded withsufficient time to allow for all competitors, caddies and spectatorsto evacuate the course prior to an electric storm striking thecourse.

Upon the signal being given, all players, caddies and spectatorsmust comply with these conditions.

RESUMPTION OF PLAYTWO SHORT BLASTS on the klaxon will notify players when it issafe to resume play. No player shall resume play until the klaxonhas sounded.

INCLEMENT WEATHERDarkness, rain, fog and ice: During inclement weather, the fact thatthe course has not been officially closed does not warrant that it isfit for play. Therefore, members and visitors should themselvesdetermine whether they consider it safe to play.

Players have a duty of care to behave in such a way that others willnot be injured by their actions. They also have a duty of care toensure that they do not injure themselves.

WORK ON THE CLUB COURSE & PREMISESNo work of any kind will take place on the club course or premiseswithout prior knowledge of the club management. Any such work willbe carried out by staff or other authorised persons including, sub-contractors or volunteers and will be supervised as appropriate.
