	Gents are to play from the yellow tees unless otherwise agreed with the Professional. Ladies and juniors have their own tees.
	Remember to repair pitch marks, replace divots and rake bunkers; and do not take trolleys onto the tees, greens or green surrounds, or between greens and greenside bunkers.
	Players should be aware of others on the course and not hold up play of those behind.
	Club members taking part in club trophies, medals or matches have priority on the course and should be invited through.
	Each hole, apart from par 3's, has a 150 distance marker to the side of the fairway measuring to the centre of the green.
