Click on a topic to expand the section.

The Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act require the employer to maintain a safe working environment. Procedures to prevent injury to Greenskeeper staff from golf balls are as follows:-

Please Note: Members are responsible for their own safety and in dangerous conditions (eg: hail, lightning, etc, which may or may not deem the course ‘unplayable’), members are to take such cover, including leaving the course, as is necessary for their personal safety.

Members should acquaint themselves with the Fire Safety Rules for the clubhouse building and the Emergency procedures posted on the noticeboard in the clubroom.

Greens Maintenance

When the flagstick has been removed by an attending Greenskeeper, the green is out of play and golfers are not to hit to the green until the flagstick is replaced.

Fairway and Rough Maintenance

Golfers must wait for an approaching vehicle or mower to pass behind or out of range before playing their shots. Alternatively, golfers may be called on to play their shots by the vehicle operator.

Other Situations

IN all other situations, golfers must receive acknowledgement from course staff that are in range-before playing a shot.

Failure to comply with the above procedures could result in prosecution under the Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act.
