Learn the R & A Rules. This can save you shots and enable you to avoid being disqualified for breaking these rules.
 

Competitors should personally ensure that they ‘sign-in’ to a Competition via the PSI touch screen in the Clubhouse or the HowDidIDo app.
 

Understand the ‘local rules’ and read any specific competition rules and instructions which will be shown on the sign-in page on the PSI touch screen.
 

Make sure your scorecard has been completed before leaving the course. You must check and sign your card before leaving the course, crossing the road behind the 18th green or entering the car park. The car park, clubhouse and locker room DO NOT constitute part of the course. If the weather is bad, then it is permissible to check and sign cards under cover at the entrance to the clubhouse.
 

Ensure that the scorecard has been completed correctly. It is your responsibility to check that the card is correct before signing, not the markers. This means the player’s NAME, COMPETITION NAME and DATE. In ‘team’ competitions all players’ names must be included on the scorecard.
 

The card should be completed showing the player’s GROSS score against each hole played. If a hole was started but not finished (e.g., you lose a ball), you must enter NR instead of the score.
 

A scorecard must be submitted even if you do not complete the round. For any holes that were not started (i.e., you didn’t tee off on those holes), you must enter NS instead of a score.
 

Ensure that your scores are entered into the relevant competition via the PSI touch screen or the HowDidIDo app.
 

Ensure that your card is either handed personally to the Handicap Secretary or is placed in the scorecard box in the Clubhouse.
 

If you sign-in to enter a competition and then fail to start you should put a card, completed as above, into the scorecard box stating your reason for not playing.
 

Players must NOT allow an extra player to join them once they have teed off in a competition.
 

Hill Barn Golf Club Committee require a MINIMUM of THREE CARDS to be played in handicap qualifying competitions before any player can win a Cup or Trophy competition.
 

All club members should set an example to other players on the course i.e., golf etiquette; replacing divots; repairing pitch marks; raking bunkers; putting litter into bins; allowing faster groups behind to come through; etc.
