Should weather disrupt a competition causing significant delays then the BRS timesheet will be suspended and the order of play will be decided by the ProShop and use of the "ball in chute" system.

 

Use of BRS will be discontinued for Jan and Feb 2011 and resume in March 2011.

 

When 9 hole competitions are being played in winter play, shots will be allocated to players where they have them eg a 9 handicap golfer will receive 5 shots on the front nine and 4 on the back nine in all circumstances.
