Message to Members, Visitors, and others using our Golf Course..
We have now moved to National Covid 19 Level 1 restrictions – “be vigilant” Level.
We have a QR Code posted at the clubhouse for those who can “check-in” using the new government Covid Tracer app., which we are all encouraged to use.
Here is a printable PDF with our QR Code included as well – RGC Covid19 QR Code

General Golf Operations Guidance:
1. All players should still wash and dry their hands before and after play.
2. You are still able to “Get an electronic Score Card” from our System. The card stays on your phone during the round using no data, and is able to be “entered” at the end of the round online. (If you are in the Competition of the Day DON’T USE THE ELECTRONIC CARD – YOU WON’T BE IN THE COMP!).
3. Flagsticks are back on the course and can be used “as normal” along with rakes in the bunkers, drinking fountains, ball washers, showers and toilets.
As as any new information comes to hand/changes happen and/or decisions made we will update you here and Club Members also by email.
An important component to these Operating instructions is that if you are unwell, and/or have any Covid 19 type symptoms – please get tested by your Doctor asap, and stay away until you are “cleared”. There is still Covid 19 in our Country, and to date no vaccine.
Regards, Gordon. Club President.

Handicaps
WHS Handicapping is now in place and Handicaps will prospectively change after every round (overnight) … wall charts are posted showing handicap ranges for different slope indexes – check on Dot Golf, and read your card every round.
Slow Play
Players must move briskly between shots. When the last player has putted out , move away from the green before filling in scorecards. Players losing one clear hole in front or looking for lost ball, should let the following players play through.
In competition if players fail to follow this procedure they may be penalised under Rule 5.6a and should conform to 5.6b.
Players on the course and not playing in the competition must give way at all times.
Green Fee players must show on their bags or person a swinger, that they have paid for the round before they have begun their round.
Green Fee charges are displayed outside the club house and may now be paid by Internet banking – a screen shot of the transaction is all that is required as proof of payment.
