Bruntsfield Short Hole Golf Club - est.
1895
The Oldest Short Hole Golf Course in the World; "indebted
to the part-time greenkeeper (provided by the City Council) and ably supported
by a few enthusiastic volunteers to maintain the greens in the best possible
condition, manpower is limited!"
Rules of play:
1) playing each hole from the tee areas
2) replacing any displaced turf (divots, not just your own, all
over the course, particularly the tee areas.
3) repairing golf ball plugmarks on the putting greens.
4) keeping a watchful eye open for anyone: - a) causing willful damage
to the course, b) damaging/stealing the flag pins, c) not playing in accordance
with the Course Rules, e.g. playing over paths, and to politely advise
them accordingly.
After all, it's surely a small price to pay for a
FREE round of golf! Many thanks.
