‘Fore!’ Alert – The shout of “Fore!” is the standard warning in golf when a ball may be heading towards others. If a player’s shot veers off course, they’ll yell “Fore!” to alert anyone in the area. When you hear it, quickly crouch down and shield your head & face for protection.
Rope Lines – Rope lines are set up throughout the course to mark the designated playing area. Spectators must stay behind these lines unless directed otherwise by event staff. Additional rope lines may be set up elsewhere, and the same rule applies – do not cross them unless explicitly instructed to do so.
Player and Marshal Signals – Golfers can hit the ball over long distances, so not all “Fore!” warnings are audible. Stay alert to shots on the hole and look for additional signals that a ball might be coming your way (e.g. tee marshals may point in the ball’s direction).
Course Layout and Scorecard – Each day, a draw sheet will be available with tee times for all players. The sheet typically includes a course map and scorecard, offering useful details about each hole
Course Awareness – Hole numbers will be displayed on boards at the tees. Paired with the scorecard or course layout, these will help you identify your location on the course and stay mindful of possible stray shots from nearby holes.
Golf Shot Variability – While players aim for the fairways and greens, there are natural obstacles on the course, like rough (long grass near fairways and greens) and bunkers (sand traps), which can increase the chance of an off-target shot from these areas.
Weather Conditions – Wind can significantly impact the ball’s flight path, making shots more challenging to control, especially on windy days with crosswinds. Be mindful of the wind’s direction and stay alert, especially on blustery days, to ensure your safety as a spectator.
Behaviour - Anyone acting in a manner deemed to be abusive, derogatory, rude, or aggressive may be subject to removal from the event.
