Health and safety must take priority over any other consideration.

For now, restrictions do not prevent clubs from operating their facilities, however we suggest clubs and facilities consider the following:

· Asking members and guests to staying away from the club if they are experiencing flu like symptoms.

· Asking members and guests to staying away from the club if they have been travelling internationally in the past 14 days.

· Regularly washing hands with soap (recommended) or an antibacterial wash.

· Placing hand sanitisers in prominent areas and requesting that members and guests utilise these regularly whilst on the premises.

· Implementing a minimum 10 minute interval between tee times.

· Asking players to not remove the pin when putting.

· Removing the pins from practice putting greens.

· Removing bunker rakes from the course.

· Closing drinking fountains.

· Removing shared sun screen stations.

· Closing ball washers.

· Removing all shared food items/menus.

· Cleaning all surfaces at the club or facility regularly.

· Where possible, limiting person-to-person contact.
