Weather Policy and Lightning Safety

Now that the golfing season is well on its way, I thought I would remind everyone about the club's policies during inclement weather.  The club has a lightning detection system on the property for the protection of the members and the their guests.  There are two sirens for the system, one at the clubhouse and the other near the green on hole 13.

The siren will sound when lightning is close.  One long blast means lightning is close and all golfers MUST leave the golf course, putting green and practice area and return to the clubhouse.  You may also take shelter at the halfway house.

After the weather has passed, the system will sound again with 3 short blasts to indicate "all clear."  Any time you hear one long blast, you must seek shelter off the course, even if you have just returned after and "all clear" signal.

ONE LONG BLAST=TAKE SHELTER


3 SHORT BLASTS="ALL CLEAR"
