All of the facilities and playing areas at Sudbrook Moor have been
professionally designed and laid out with safety of use in mind.
This statement has been prepared by Tim Hutton, who currently has 59 years
of experience in golf. With 52 years as
a professional golfer, his experience has been as a European Tour player, a
golf club professional, a golf course designer and constructor, a golf coach, a
retailer and a golf club director.
Sudbrook Moor was designed to accommodate beginners and established
golfers. The golf course was designed
and routed in such a way as to minimize the danger from errant golf shots. In addition to these considerations on the
golf course, the teeing areas have been organized in such a way as to control
where golfers accumulate, reducing the danger of serious injury from fast
moving golf balls, including rebounds.
In the 35 years of Sudbrook Moor, to date, there have been very few
incidents of injury on the playing areas.
These have been minor injuries incurred by golfers not standing in the
appropriate places, when waiting for other golfers to play their shots.
A golf course, at best, is still a place where freak occurrences can cause
serious injury. As well as endeavouring
to reduce these possibilities to the minimum, it is incumbent upon golfers to
be aware of the dangers and to be vigilant in their pursuits.
Young golfers at the Junior Coaching Sessions are made aware of some of the dangers of
golf, with a strict code of movement around the Driving Range. They are further mentored on the golf course
by established players during the Junior Intermediate competitions. Parents must stay with their children for the
duration of the Junior Coaching Sessions. For a
child not to be in the presence of a parent on Sudbrook Moor Golf Club
premises: this must only occur with the full approval of the parent and a
specific time arranged for child and parent to be reunited.
Sudbrook Moor is a "self service golf course" and it is assumed
that golfers are aware of the implications and dangers of playing golf.
If there is bad visibility, golfers play at their own discretion. If there is a risk of lightning, golfers are
advised not to play.
Juniors must have the full approval of their parents or guardians before they play on the Golf Course, the Driving Range or the Practice Facilities.
