Coronavirus (Covid-19) arrangements - updated 14-3-20

For obvious reasons, the following arrangements have been overtaken by events and no longer apply.

Pursuant to the advice of the Government and the Club, the following arrangements have been agreed for the continuation of the TT Roll-up for as long as that is possible/advisable:

(a) the TT Roll-up to continue to take place (subject to the restrictions advised by the Club and the application of social distancing measures as appropriate), unless the Club closes or stronger advice is issued by the Government; 

(b) those golfers who are in vulnerable categories (notably over 70s and/or those with underlying health conditions) to consider very carefully whether they should participate, even taking all necessary precautions;

(c) alternative arrangements to be adopted for drawing for partners/flights (ie not balls in a hat, but a procedure involving no physical contact);

(d) local rules and common sense to be applied as necessary to deal with unraked bunkers, absence of pins on greens, upturned cups, etc;

(e) TT Roll-up handicaps to be adjusted periodically for now (as long as photocopies of cards are sent to Nigel French and local rules/common sense do not go too far away from the Rules of Golf);

(f) the competition for the Hugh Chamberlain Trophy to be suspended for the duration this year.
