The following rule is in play on the Sandy Hills Links until further notice: If your golf ball lands on the fairway you must lift it and place it in the semi rough on either side. A ball in the semi-rough or rough must be played as it lies. Only a putter may be used on the fairway.
All members are kindly asked to keep all pull trolleys, electric trolleys and drive buggies well back from the roped off putting green surrounds and all teeing areas on the Sandy Hills Links as we try to protect the main playing surfaces as much as possible over the winter months.
All players are asked to play from the mats provided on the Par 3’s and not from the turf teeing area directly behind the mats. All of the clearly marked areas on holes 1, 8, 9 and 13 that are currently under construction are ground under repair.
