Title:	INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
Detail:	INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY Inclement weather in and of itself is not a reason to cancel a round or golf tournament. Several factors will be taken into consideration when deciding whether to suspend a round, postpone, shorten or cancel golf: Ø Unsafe Course Conditions: ü Fast flowing creeks, overflowing lakes, bridge(s) out, trees falling over, etc. ü Golf traffic causes unnecessary damage to golf course Ø Unsafe Weather Conditions: ü Thunder storms (lightening) ü Rain so heavy that it would be unfair to require players to continue ü Winds moving a ball on the putting surface, trees/limbs falling Ø Standing Water on Fairways, Greens & Bunkers: ü Too much (unfair) amounts of casual water, especially on greens Suspending Play and the USGA Rules of Golf: *Rule 6-8b governs when play is suspended by the Committee. It states:* When play is suspended by the Committee, if the players in a match or group are between the play of two holes, they shall not resume play until the Committee has ordered a resumption of play. If they are in the process of playing a hole, they may continue provided they do so without delay. If they choose to continue, they shall discontinue either before or immediately after completing the hole, and shall not thereafter resume play until the Committee has ordered a resumption of play. *However, a Note under Rule 6-8b states:* The Committee may provide in the conditions of a competition (Rule 33-1) that, in potentially dangerous situations, play shall be discontinued immediately following a suspension of play by the Committee. If a player fails to discontinue play immediately, he shall be disqualified unless circumstances warrant waiving such a penalty as provided in Rule 33-7. This condition is in effect for all VCJGA Tournaments: Discontinue Play Immediately: One prolonged not of siren. Discontinue Play: Three consecutive notes of siren, repeated. Resume Play: Two short notes of siren, repeated.
