Rules & etiquette | Golfclub Wylihof

On course incl. practice area: „Etiquette clothes“
We respect our teammates, tournament organizers and sponsors and shower prior to the tournament presentation. The dress code can always be found in the competition literature.

Do not book tee-times unless your attendance is certain. There’s always availability on the 27 holes.
Always respect your tee-times.
Cancel any booking early, your group partners will thank you.

Keep a safe distance from your fellow players.
Never swing in the direction of your fellow players.
Make sure that you know where your fellow players are (failure to take this precautionary measure has already led to accidents).
Respect silence while your fellow players are playing.
Follow the correct order of play for HCP-effective rounds.
Do not stand behind the ball (unless with prior agreement).
Only Tee off when the group in front of you is safely out of reach.
Make sure that you don’t unnecessarily damage the tee surface. (practice swings)

Consider your club choice for the next shot on the way to the ball.
Do not use overly long pre-shot routines.
Make a maximum of 1 practice swing.
Walk quickly between the shots.
Always keep up with the group ahead.
Consider where you place your trolley at the green to allow for quick progression from the green to the next tee.
Always leave the green quickly. Mark your card on the next tee.
Pick up your ball if you have exceeded a valid score on that hole and the next group is approaching.
Wave the group behind you through, while looking for the ball.
Tee off first and then note the score of the previous hole.

Agree “Ready Golf” with your group before starting.
You may deviate from the order of the match rule 10-2. The player who is ready to play strikes the ball. Always in agreement with your playing partners and in accordance with the principle of safety.
If a long hitter must wait, the others should play first.
You may wait a few meters ahead of your playing partner, who is hitting, but not in the line of play or sight.
Play your ball first and then help to find a lost ball.
In doubt, play a provisory ball.
Play your ball, even if your playing partner is still raking at the bunker.
Exchange distance and obstacle information whilst approaching the ball.
Advise players of incorrectly placed trolley/carts.
Always put your glove on and off in advance of each shot.
Putt even if your flight partners are not yet on the green.
Do not wait for your partner if he/she has played the ball over the green.
Putt, even if you are very close to others putting lines.
Note the scores just after the next tee shot (minimum 1^st player of the flight).

If the forward group is too slow (e.g. fourball before a twoball), ask kindly if the hole may be skipped (without playing this hole, otherwise there would be waiting times for all following groups).
Then hurry to play the next hole so that the overtaken group does not need to wait.

Place broken tees, cigarettes and all other waste in the bins.
Repair divots.
Rake the bunker after stepping into it and place the rake completely in the bunker (motto: Eliminate your own and others marks, brings good luck!).
Do not drive your trolley between green and green bunker, over the green, through a hazard or ground under repair.

Don’t try to cut it short, because you could disrupt other groups.
A start from Tee 10 is only possible after consultation with the secretary office.
