Rules of Golf, Rules of Grovers.
Whilst Grovers is a fun and informal club competition, it must be played according to the Rules of Golf. “Gimmees” or “Mulligans” are not allowed. To score on a hole, you must putt out.
To speed up play, pick up on a hole where you cannot score.
The 1st tee is reserved for Grovers members from 4pm – 6pm. Book in sheets will be available from 3.30pm; if you wish to play before 4pm you must make your own arrangements for a tee time.
Members are requested not to stand on the tee or join the queue unless their entire group is present. Members should form four-balls wherever possible.
Juniors who play in Grovers must be accompanied by an adult member.
