BATHURST GOLF CLUB BY-LAWS

Golf

Golf is a game, which depends, a great deal on tradition and long custom for its charm.

It follows quite naturally that a Golf Club is a conservative institution. This conservatism

should extend to the choice of dress and generally in the standard of conduct on the Course

and in the Clubhouse.

It cannot be over-emphasised that the fundamental Rule is consideration to one’s fellow

member.

The status of a Golf Club may be judged by the etiquette of its members. It is always better to

give a point rather than take one.

Reciprocal Arrangements

Members are advised that reciprocal arrangements have been affected with the Clubs listed in

the current program book.

Subscriptions

In the case of all members, the financial year shall be from 1st July to 30th June each year.

Subscriptions are due and payable in advance-they may be paid in instalments in such amounts,

proportions and on such days as the Board may determine from time to time.

Members who are one month in arrears in regard to payment of fees cannot retain membership

privileges.

Dress Regulations

In order to maintain a standard suitable to the Club, members are requested to pay attention to

their dress and the dress of any visitor they introduce. The following should be regarded as a

minimum.

Course: During competitions

Neat casual clothes at all times.

Shirts must have a collar (no collar, no play).

Golf shoes or joggers ONLY

White or coloured sport socks allowed

Long football socks not allowed

During social rounds

Course Dress Regulations are at the Professional’s discretion.

Neat casual clothes at all times.

Shirts – No Singlets

Golf shoes or joggers ONLY

Attire NOT permitted includes football clothing, singlet type shirts, T-shirts without collar,

advertising type T-shirts, track type clothing, board/beach/athletics type short, and clothing

considered to be of an offensive nature.

Clubhouse:

Clubhouse Dress Regulations are at the General Manager’s discretion.

Neat casual dress at all times.

Work clothing allowed Monday to Friday up till 7.00 p.m.

No singlet tops at any time.

Visitors

Any member introducing a visitor shall be responsible for the conduct of such visitor, and

should accompany him/her at all times. No visitor shall be supplied with liquor on the

premises unless at the invitation and in the company of a member.

Excluding Open days and invitation days, visiting members of recognised Golf Clubs,

affiliated with the AGU may, at the discretion of the club professional and subject to

conditions regarding members rights of play, play in a Club competition.

Etiquette of Golf (As per the Rules of Golf)

Courtesy on the Course

Consideration of Other Players

In the interest of all, players should play without delay. No player should play until the

players in front are out of range.

Players searching for a ball should signal the players behind them to pass as soon as it

becomes apparent that the ball will not be easily found; they should search for five minutes

before doing so.

They should not continue play until the players following them have passed and are out of

range.

When the play of a hole has been completed players should immediately leave the putting

green.

Behaviour During Play

No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a

player is addressing the ball or making a stroke. The player who has the honour should be

allowed to play before their opponent or their fellow-competitor tees his/her ball. The Club,

however, promotes and recommends the use of “ready golf” as a means of speeding up play.

Priority on the Course

In the absence of special rules, two-ball matches should have precedence over and be entitled

to pass any three or four-ball match.

A single player has no standing and should give way to a match of any kind.

Any match playing a whole round is entitled to pass a match playing a shorter round.

If a match fails to keep its place on the course and loses more than one clear hole on the

players in front, it should allow the following match to pass.

Slow Play Policy

INTRODUCTION

This policy applies to all amateur golfers for all events & competitions conducted by The

Bathurst Golf Club in addition to any other tournament conditions, local rules or other

Special Event requirements.

1 Speed of Play

1.1 Preamble

Each Player in each group shall endeavour to maintain these standards of pace of play, whilst

adhering to commonly accepted standards of golfing etiquette and sportsmanship.

Any group more than one fairway behind the group in front shall be considered out of place

in the field. As a Bathurst Golf Club member, you are expected to actively assist your group

maintain its place in the field.

1.2 Guidelines

As a general guide, each group is expected to complete each hole 14 minutes after tee-off.

This means completion of the first nine holes should be completed in two hours and five

minutes. The eighteen holes should be completed in four and one quarter (4¼) hours from

initial tee-off.

Any group out of place in the field should actively seek to improve their pace of play and

consider themselves as having received a warning.

Any group unable to maintain the expected pace of play and which has lost its place in the

field may be subject to a penalty without further warning.

2 Penalties

2.1 Range of Penalties

Depending on the nature of the competition, the weather and the number of penalties may

include:

(i) a one stroke penalty or;

(ii) a two-stroke penalty or;

(iii) a disciplinary report for a player who continually fails to keep up with play.

Penalties (i) and (ii) will normally be applied to all Players of a group.

3 Avoiding Penalties

3.1 Supporting Fellow Members

i) Players must be ready to tee off 15 minutes prior to their allotted tee time. See also

“Conditions of Play”

ii) Players must be ready to play their shot at all times.

iii) Carts and pull buggies are to be parked in the direction of the next tee.

iv) Clear each green as soon as the last Player has completed the hole.

v) Scorecards are to be marked on the next tee, not on or near the greens. If the group

ahead is already out of range, the first player is to tee off, then mark the scorecard with the

result of the previous hole.

vi) Do not take excessive practice swings and do not replay putts after completing the

hole when other groups are following.

vii) In other than stroke competitions, pick up your ball when you cannot score.

viii) In the event of a lost ball call the following group through immediately.

It is the duty of all players to keep up with the group in front, not in front of the group behind.

If each Player in a group can shave just five seconds from each shot, the group can improve

the time taken to play a round by up to twenty minutes. This provides an opportunity for all

following Players to enjoy their game.

Care of the Course

Holes in Bunkers

Before leaving a bunker, a player should carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and

footprints made by him/her. The rake is to be placed in the MIDDLE of the bunker once

repairs are completed.

Restore Divots and Ball Marks

Through the green a player should ensure that any turf cut or displaced is replaced at once,

pressed down and filled with sand, and that any damage to the putting green made by the ball

or the player is carefully repaired.

All players are reminded to carry and use sand buckets at all times. This includes players

carrying their clubs.

Damage to Greens - Flagsticks, Bags, etc.

Players should ensure that when putting down bags or the flagstick, no damage is done to the

putting green and that neither they nor their caddies damage a hole by standing close to it, in

handling the flagstick or in removing the ball from the hole. The flagstick should be properly

replaced in the hole before the players leave the putting green. Golf buggies must not be

wheeled across greens. All bags and buggies MUST be left clear of the green while putting

out on the green.

Golf Carts

Golf carts may be used under the conditions set down by the Committee and Professional.

The use of carts during Championships and tournaments IS ALLOWED.

Golf carts must not be driven to closer than 10 metres from any green.

Damage Through Practice Swings

In taking practice swings players should avoid causing damage to the course, particularly the

tees, by repairing divots.

Sand Buckets

Sand buckets must be carried and used by all players whenever using the course. This also

includes all players carrying their clubs.

Par three holes have sand in buckets on tees to fill divots

The Hole: Members are prohibited from removing the ball with the blade of their putter but

may remove the ball from the hole with a suction cap or ball claw attached to the handle.

Complaints

All complaints should be made in writing to the General Manager who, if unable to satisfy

them, shall submit them to the Board of Directors. No employee of the Club shall be directly

reprimanded by an individual member.

Complaints re golf competitions should be made to the match committee as per the rules of

golf.

Special Notice to Players

• Walk briskly between shots.

Golf Competitions and how they are played

These notes are only intended to assist in the general concept of how various competitions

are played. They must be read in conjunction with the Rules of Golf and in particular the

Committee shall lay down the conditions under which a competition shall be played (Rule

33).

STROKE (Medal)

The score at each hole is entered on the score card, totalled and the player’s full handicap

deducted. The player who completes the stipulated round in the fewest net strokes will be

the winner. Usually a gross winner is also determined.

PAR

In Par play the score is entered on the card in the same way as in stroke play with the

exception that where the score exceeds par for the hole, after allowing for handicap stroke

(if the player is in receipt of one) the score need not be written in. It is the custom that when

a player is beaten by Par, the ball shall be picked up. This helps speed up play.

After entering the stroke score on the card, the result is marked in the column provided with

a ‘+’ sign for a win, a ‘0’ for a half, a ‘- ‘for a loss. At the end of the round the plus and

minus signs are added and the net result written is as so many ‘up’ ‘down’ or ‘all square’. A

player is allowed his full stroke handicap and the strokes are taken at holes as indicated on

the card.

Where the handicap is more than 18, two strokes will be allowed on the number of holes

that the handicap exceeds 18. These strokes will be taken in the same order as followed for

the first 18 holes unless the index goes beyond 18.

STABLEFORD

This system of scoring by points was introduced by Dr Frank Stableford of the Wallasey

Golf Club (Liverpool, England) in 1932, and has become very popular. The popular method

of playing a stableford competition is for the player to take strokes at holes as in a par

competition using full handicap and to score points for the net result at each hole. At the end

of the round all points scored are added up and the player having the highest number of

points is the winner. In scoring after allowing for handicaps, a player who scores par

receives 2 points, for 1 over par 1 point, for a birdie or 1 under par 3 points, for an eagle or 2

under par 4 points, and so on. For example, a player receiving a stroke on a par 4 hole scores

4 giving a net 3 strokes; for this he receives 3 points. A player at a par 3-hole scores a 4 but

does not receive a stroke; for this he would receive 1 point.

FOUR-BALL PAR

Two players play as partners each taking strokes at holes as in a par competition. If one of

the partners wins a hole and the other halves it, only the win is counted. If one halves a hole

with par and the other loses it only the half is counted and so on. Plus, half and minus signs

are added at the end of the round and recorded as in ordinary par competition. In a four-ball

handicap event care must be taken to mark the scores of each player in separate columns

headed by the initials of the player. If the scores are mixed and it is impossible for the

Committee to check the card the players will be disqualified.

FOUR-BALL STABLEFORD

Played in exactly the same manner as above except the better ball of the partnership will be

credited with points instead of plus, half or minus.

FOURSOME

Two players play as partners and use one ball. The partners strike off alternately from the

tee and thereafter strike the ball alternately during the play of each hole. Scoring is done as

for a stroke round and the total is subject to a deduction of half the players aggregate

handicaps. Note: if either player incurs a penalty stroke it does not alter the rotation of play.

In a foursome stroke play competition which consists of more than one stipulated round the

order of play may be changed between rounds unless the committee has laid down as a

condition of play that the original order of play must be preserved throughout the

competition.

GENERAL

All the foregoing competitions are forms of stroke play and subject to the rules governing

stroke play. Special rules for Par and Stableford competitions are set out in Rule 32. Rule 31

covers the special rules for four ball Par and Stableford competitions. Foursomes may be

played under either stroke play rules or match play conditions and Rule 29 is relevant to

foursome’s events. In addition to the competitions listed above, many clubs conduct

competitions which are not specifically covered in the rules of golf. Some of the more

popular types of play are listed below together with suggestions regarding methods of

conducting these events. It cannot be too strongly emphasized however, that since these

competitions are not covered by the rules of golf, the committee must carefully lay down in

advance and publish the conditions of play. The State association will not, except in the

most exceptional circumstances, give a decision on any query submitted when play is

conducted otherwise that in accordance with the rules.

MIXED FOUR-BALL PAR OR STABLEFORD

These games are played as described previously except that the lady plays from her own

tees, using her own scorecard, local rules etc. The result is only transferred to her partners

card when her score for the hole is better than his. Care must be taken when checking the

card to refer to the ladies card when dealing with holes halved or won by her. There are

some variations to this depending on the Club. In some instances the lady plays on her full

handicap using the ladies card as described above, in other cases, on 7/8 handicap, using the

ladies card. Again, she may be on full handicap and using the men’s card. There are also

exceptional instances where ladies play from ¾ handicap and the men’s card is used. These

last two methods are the least satisfactory.

MIXED FOURSOMES

Mixed foursomes are played in the same manner as foursomes except that the ladies use

their own tees and observe their own local rules when it is their turn to play. The committee

should lay down as a condition of play whether the male or female is required to play from

the first tee, and in competitions played under stroke conditions, and consisting of more than

one stipulated round whether this order is to be preserved.

AUSSIE SIX PACK

This competition is played under 4 Ball Best Ball stableford rules.

Holes 1 to 6 the team’s best score is recorded,

Holes 7 to 12 the aggregate score of both players is recorded and

Holes 13 to 18 the score of both players is multiplied and recorded on scorecard.

The total score for the team is the addition of all scores

FOUR PERSON ACCUMULATOR

Played by teams of three or four players under stableford scoring format

For teams of four players, scoring is as follows

Holes 1 to 6 best individual score is recorded

Holes 7 to 11 best 2 scores are recorded

Holes 12 to 15 best 3 scores are recorded

Holes 16 to 18 all 4 scores are recorded

Team’s total score is the additions of all scores

For teams of three players, scoring is as follows

Holes 1 to 8 best individual score is recorded

Holes 9 to 14 best two scores are recorded

Holes 15 to 18 all scores are recorded

The team’s total score is determined by the addition of all scores multiplied by 1.25

AMBROSE (SCRAMBLE) COMPETITION

This event is a novelty event and thus the event organisers may waive or modify some of the

general rules of golf.

This is a team stroke event and is usually played by a group of two, three, or four, but can be

any number. Each player plays a tee shot at each hole. The designated Captain of the group

then selects the best drive from which to play the next shot. A marker is placed within 15cm

of the selected ball and then the ball is played by its owner as it lies before other players in

the group play their shot. Upon retrieving their balls, the other members in turn, and in any

order, place their ball within one club length of the marker, not closer to the hole, but in the

same course condition as the selected ball was in (i.e. grass cut to fairway height, rough,

bunker, hazard, etc.).

When on the green, the position of the ball is marked and all players may play, in any order,

from within one club head length of the selected ball spot.

This event can be played as a gross event with each group having a spread of handicaps, or

as a handicap event, where a fraction of the aggregate handicap is used. A popular handicap

system for groups of four is 1/8 of the aggregate handicap, for groups of three 1/6 of the

aggregate handicap, and for groups of two ¼ of the aggregate handicap. This competition is

often called, or is known as, a “Scramble” event.

The event organisers may also specify that a certain minimum number of tee shots must be

selected from each player in the group and that the number may depend upon the size of the

group (i.e. 3 drives per person for a group of 4, 4 drives per person for a group of three, 5

drives per person for a group of two). Penalty for non-compliance of the rules as set out by

the organising committee will be team disqualification.

“Pinehurst Foursomes”

Both players play tee shots at each hole, then play second stroke with their partner’s ball.

One ball is then selected and play proceeds as in foursomes with the owner of the ball

selected playing the third stroke. Handicap allowance is 3/8 of aggregate stroke handicap for

stroke competitions.

AUSTRALIAN COUNT-BACK SYSTEM

Deciding Ties in events:

Ties in events shall be decided whenever possible by replay but if the committee considers

this to be inexpedient the following count-back method shall be used:

• For 18 hole events the best score for the last nine holes shall be used; if there is still a

tie the last 6 holes or if still ties the last 3 holes. If a tie still persists then hole by hole

from the 18th.

• In 27, 36, 54- and 72-hole events the last 18 holes shall be used and if still tied count-

back as in 1. above

• In handicap events the relative handicap or fraction thereof shall be applied.

Notes:

• For a 9 hole event the best score for the last 6 holes shall be used, if there is still a tie

the last 3 holes, if a tie still persists then hole by hole from the 9th hole.

• In all cases the last holes are as per the score card, not necessarily as played.
