CLUB RULES 2011

 

In accordance with Westport Golf Club etiquette, rules and bye-laws, we would kindly ask all visitors and members to obey the following:

  • The purchase of golf balls from unauthorised persons, on or in the vicinity of the course, is strictly prohibited.
  • Divots must be replaced and pitch marks repaired.
  • Players shall avoid causing damage to the course.
  • No one shall move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke.
  • Bunkers should always be raked after play.
  • Players shall not damage or permit their caddies to damage the putting greens.
  • Caddie cars shall not be brought on to the tees or greens or banks surrounding the greens.
  • Sit in/on motorised caddie cars shall not be used on the golf course except with the express permission of the Joint Management Committee. Such permission will not be withheld where the applicants have a medical condition which severely impairs their mobility - a certificate from a medical practitioner may in exceptional circumstances be required.

 

CAN'T AFFORD TO GOLF IN THE CAPITAL?

Take a year or two out from your home club, keep your handicap, play in Open Day events in Dublin and make that saving.
