Coffs Harbour Golf Club Extreme Weather Policy
Dear Members,
With Summer well and truly here and the storms we have had of late, we remind members of our Extreme Weather Policy.
This policy provides a framework and guidelines to minimise the risk of harm occurring due to extreme weather at Coffs Harbour Golf Club.
Typically, the Club Captain, General Manager or Club Professional will liaise with Pro Shop staff to monitor for extreme weather warnings and if necessary, the closure of the course.
HOWEVER, PLAYERS MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY WHEN THREATENED BY EXTREME WEATHER.
Any player in a group can choose to stop play and seek shelter if they believe an extreme situation exists or is imminent in accordance with rule 5.7a – When Players May or Must Stop Play.
SUSPENSION OF PLAY PROCEDURE:
Players will be notified of suspension of play by the use of a siren as follows:
ONE prolonged continuous burst of the siren – discontinue play immediately,
TWO short bursts of the siren repeated – recommence play.
Extreme weather relates to storms, extreme heat, lightening, strong winds, heavy rain and floods and high fire danger.
We encourage members to read the Extreme Weather Policy HERE
Thank you,
Coffs Harbour Golf Club
