The Lightning Evacuation Plan is mandatory reading for every golfer.
LIGHTNING EVACUATION DURING COMPETITION
For competitions, lightning evacuation will proceed according to the scheme and instructions below.
NON-COMPETITION LIGHTNING EVACUATION
If it is a daily round of play, not a competition, and a thunderstorm occurs, it is every player’s duty to take shelter and stop play immediately. On a normal playing day, if it IS NOT A COMPETITION, no siren will be sounded. When a thunderstorm occurs, it is every player’s duty to act independently.
Play may only resume when lightning is no longer present.
NB! Playing golf during a thunderstorm is life-threatening.
