Following a review of playing conditions, it has been decided to introduce an optional winter rule of “Lift, Clean and Drop” on all fairways and semi rough.

Please note the ball must be marked prior to lifting, dropped (not placed) within the relief area in the usual manner. The relief area is defined as within one club length of the marked spot not nearer to the hole.

This will apply on both the Championship course and the Bomore course with immediate effect.

The use of mats will be kept under review.

Kind regards.

Terry Brady
Links chairman.
