Update re: flagsticks and rakes/bunkers

Posted on 24 Jul '21 by Dave Hayden II

Following Pitch and Putt Ireland's COVID-19 Update on flagsticks and rakes, the committee discussed the matter and felt that for the safety of all members, it would be best to continue with our existing Covid-19 guidelines.

- Players are instructed not to touch the flag or flagstick.

- Rakes to be removed from bunkers. Players are asked to smooth bunkers using their feet or a club. Clubs may introduce a local rule providing placing in bunkers within six inches not nearer the hole.

These guidelines will remain in place for the remainder of the season.
