When you’re ready
for a test drive, so are we.
TL Darby Volkswagen
Centrum East Retail Park, Eighth Avenue, Burton On Trent,
Staffordshire, DE14 2WG. Telephone: 01283 531331.
www.tldarby.volkswagen.co.uk
Open: Mon – Fri 7.30am – 7.00pm,
Sat 8.00am – 5.30pm, Sun 10.30am – 4.30pm.
Figures shown are for comparability purposes; only compare fuel consumption and CO2 figures with other vehicles tested
to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number
of factors including the accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load. There
is a new test used for fuel consumption and CO2 figures (known as WLTP). The CO2 figures shown however, are based on
a calculation designed to be equivalent to the outgoing (NEDC) test cycle and will be used to calculate vehicle tax on first
registration. For more information, please see www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/wltp or consult your retailer. Data correct
at 12/2018. Figures quoted are for a range of configurations and are subject to change due to ongoing approvals/changes.
Please consult your retailer for further information. Official fuel consumption figures for the Volkswagen model range in
mpg (litres/100km): combined 31.4 (9.0) – 58.9 (4.8). Combined CO2 emissions 95 – 173 g/km.

COURSE ETIQUETTE
Please observe the following:
• General Play: In the interest of all, players should play without delay. No player should play until
the players in front are out of range.
• Green fees: A visitor or guest must be a regular golfer and behave in accordance with the rules of
the Club regarding dress and order of play. The appropriate green fee must be paid prior to the
round and all visitors and guests must display their tag on their golf bag to indicate that they have
paid their fee. The Club reserves the right to refuse players onto the course at any time.
• Membership Bag Tags: Members should display their bag tag prominently in order for the Golf
Team to properly check it without disturbing your play..
• Tees: All general play must be off the yellow tees unless prior permission is given by the Golf
Manager, who will notify the Golf Lodge.
• Visitors and Guests: The same visitor or guest is not permitted to play the 18-hole Championship
golf course more than six times in any one calendar year whether playing with a member or not.
• Arrival Time: Please arrive promptly on the 1st tee ten minutes before the allocated tee-off time.
In this way the Golf Lodge will be able to verify each player’s arrival and ensure that everyone tees
off on time. Equipment: The sharing of golf clubs on any part of the course is not permitted.
Please take care not to be heavy-handed when placing bags on the ground.
• Golf Buggies: In order to hire a buggy, a driver must possess a full driving licence. No more
than two persons are to share a buggy and there should be a maximum of two golf bags on the
back. The pulling of trolleys behind a buggy is not permitted. Trolleys, buggies or golf bags are
not to be taken on to the tees or the greens or their perimeters.
• Mobile Phones: Mobile phones should not be used to make calls (other than emergency calls) on
the golf course, in the Clubhouse or on the patio overlooking the 18th Green.
• Bunkers: Please fully rake the bunkers after a bunker shot has been taken and place the rake
completely inside the bunker.
• Trolleys: Do not take trolleys onto tee boxes or the fringes of the greens and do not take trolleys
between bunkers and/or water and greens.
• Divots: Players should ensure that any turf cut or displaced by them is replaced at once and
pressed down, except on the tees where these should be smoothed and reseeded using the sand
provided. In the growing season, divot bags are available beside both the first and tenth tees:
please take at least one bag per round and repair any unfilled divots you see.
• Pitch-marks: These should be repaired using a pitch-mark repairer. These can be purchased from
the Academy or Golf Lodge prior to the commencement of play.
• Lost Balls: Players searching for a ball should signal the players behind them to pass as soon as it
becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found and should not search for three minutes
before doing so. Players shall avoid slow play at all times.
• Speed of Play: Slow play is frustrating for everyone, so players are asked always to keep up with
the group in front of them. If a group loses more than one hole in front and the group behind is
close, then they must be invited to play through.
• Halfway House: The Rules of Golf are strict about continuity of play without undue delay so,
especially in competitions, if you stop at the Halfway House please make every effort to move to
the tenth tee as quickly as possible.
• Greenkeeping staff: The greenkeepers have priority on the course. Please respect them while they
are doing their work and they will endeavour, if at all possible, not to disrupt a game. Please show
Branston Fixture Diary 19.indd 32 05/02/2019 09:03the same consideration to them as would be shown to other golfers using the course at the same
time.
• Juniors: Under-12s must always be accompanied by an adult while on the golf course.
• Branston Golf Club operates a maximum 4 ball policy on both the Championship and Eagle
course. The only exceptions are for the Captains Drive in and farewell competitions dependant on
the number of player entries.
…………………………………….
CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE DRESS RULES
Branston Golf & Country Club aims to operate a contemporary and forward-thinking dress
policy, commensurate with a modern-day country club. It is in all our interests to maintain
reasonable standards of casual but smart dress in keeping with golfing traditions. The following
standards of dress must be adhered to by all golfers at Branston Golf & Country Club on the
18-hole Championship course
• Golfing attire is required for all players.
• Trousers: Tailored or golfing trousers only. Denim, cut offs, three-quarter length trousers,
tracksuit bottoms or combat style trousers are not permitted on the golf course
• Shorts: Tailored or golfing shorts only are permitted. Shorts with side pockets, or combat style
shorts are not allowed on the golf course
• Only soft spike golf shoes are allowed
• Shirts: Shirts must have sleeves and a collar or raised neck. No football shirts, shirts with slogans
or T-shirts are allowed.
• Ladies: Shirts or blouses should be worn in the way that they are designed to be worn
• Caddies: Caddies should adhere to the above rules at all times.
…………………………………….
TEE TIME BOOKING PROCEDURES
The Club’s aim is to maximise the number of tee times available and give members the best
opportunity possible of getting his or her preferred tee time.
• The name and membership number of each individual must be stated when booking. Any use of
a false name will lead to immediate suspension of membership for an indefinite period.
• The Club reserves the right to make up games into fourball matches and single players hold no
booking rights unless joining a two ball or three ball match that is already booked, or unless there
are no part-booked time slots available: in such cases a singles list will be compiled by the Golf
Lodge staff to fill slots that become available.
• Members may book up to 14 days in advance. The booking sheet for the date 14 days ahead will
be released when the Golf Lodge opens every morning.
• Booking is restricted to one tee time slot for four named players. Members’ guests qualify for a
reduced rate and the appropriate green fee must be paid prior to playing. If the Golf Lodge is
closed, members should report to Reception or the Academy to pay the appropriate fee before
playing. The Member will be liable to pay the green fee for any guest not honouring a pre-booked
tee time.
• All members are required to display their relevant bag tag when playing either of the courses.
Their guests will also be given a registration card to display on their bag upon payment of the
relevant green fee.
Branston Fixture Diary 19.indd 33 05/02/2019 09:03• Cancellation of bookings can be made at any time of the day or night (there is an answering
machine in the Golf Lodge) as long as the cancellation is made at least two hours before the tee
time. Tel 01283 528320.
• Any member failing to honour a pre-booked tee time will be reminded by letter that they
are expected to make a cancellation. Any repeat of this within twelve months will require an
explanation in writing to the Golf Manager. Failure to give such written explanation for absence
will result in the member’s booking privileges being withdrawn for one month.
• Inclement weather will not normally be considered a reason for non-arrival, unless the course
is closed. (So even if it is pouring down with rain, players who do not intend playing must still
phone to cancel their tee time).
• Every member must inform the Golf Lodge of their arrival before teeing-off and will be
expected to register at least ten minutes before their tee time.
No shows & Non-return of scorecards in competitions
• Any member who is a “No Show” for a Competition or fails to hand in a scorecard after
completing their rounds will then be banned by the Committees for the next three eligible
qualifying competitions ‘if no reasonable justification can be given’.

HOLE POSITION FLAGS
Our hole flags are colour coded to illustrate the position of the hole on the green:
WHITE – Back of green
YELLOW – Middle of green
RED – Front of green
……………………………………
HOW TO ENTER A CLUB COMPETITION – please Note Handicap Restrictions
You must hold a bona fide CONGU handicap and be a golf member of the Championship course
before you may enter any competition on this course. All such members may enter Monthly
Stableford or Max Score competitions ONLY, up to a maximum handicap of 54 for both
ladies & gents.
However, ALL other competitions on the Championship course are only open to gents with a
Maximum handicap of 35 & ladies with a maximum handicap of 40 unless otherwise stated.
Detailed information on all competitions can be found on the golf notice boards in both locker
rooms.
Medal, Stableford or Max Score competitions: Book a tee time and pay your entry fee at the Golf
Lodge before you play (ladies should pay in their locker room). Junior boys whose handicaps exceed
35 & girls whose handicaps exceed 40 are not allowed to play in Monthly Medals but may play in
Monthly Stableford or Max score competitions.
Majors: To be entered into the draw, write your name on the sheets in the locker rooms. Start times
are published 16 days before the competition, both on the golf noticeboard in the Locker Rooms
Branston Fixture Diary 19.indd 34 05/02/2019 09:03and on the Master Scoreboard website. For further details on Master Scoreboard, and to obtain a
password, please ask at the Golf Lodge or call 01283 528320.
Knockouts (gents): Write your name (and the name of your playing partner/s, if applicable),
telephone number, membership number on the outside of an envelope containing your entry fee and
post in the red letterbox in the Gents’ locker room before the stipulated closing date. Late entries
cannot be accepted and details of the draws and deadlines for each round of the competition will be
posted on the golf noticeboard in the Locker Room and on the Master Scoreboard website.
Juniors are required to hold a CONGU handicap (boys max 35/girls max 40) to be eligible to win
a Junior Major Competition. However, if their handicaps are above these limits, they will still be
welcome to take part in a separate competition.
Returning Scorecards and Entering Scores into the Computer
The Rules of Golf state (Rule 3.3b (1)):
a. Markers Responsibility: Entering & Certifying Hole Scores on Scorecard.
After each hole during the round, the marker should confirm the score with the competitor and
record it. On completion of the round the marker must sign the scorecard and hand it to the
competitor. If more than one marker records the scores, each must sign for the part for which he
is responsible.
b. Signing and Returning Score Card (Rule 3.3b (2))
After completion of the round, the competitor should check his score for each hole and settle any
doubtful points with the Committee. He must ensure that the marker or markers have signed the
scorecard, sign the scorecard himself and return it to the Committee as soon as possible. In our
case, “returning it to the Committee” means entering the scores into the Computer and then (for
gents) posting the card into the slot in the top of Computer Room Cupboard in the Computer
Room.
For ladies put your completed scorecards in the silver box on the right-hand wall in the Computer
Room.
Cards that are not returned when closing the competition has an impact on the Competition
Standard Scratch calculation for each competition and therefore impacts on other members’
handicaps.
Any member who fails to return a scorecard after completing their competition rounds will then
be banned by the Committees for the next three eligible qualifying competitions ‘if reasonable
justification cannot be given’.

Qualifying Scores under Clause 25 is met. Category 1 players may only return Supplementary
Scores over 18 holes. However, England Golf Union has the discretion to permit Category 1

jurisdiction

………………………………….
COMPETITION HANDICAPS
A player needs to enter a total of three cards from either qualifying competitions or by returning
supplementary cards (or a combination of both) in every year, commencing January 1st, 2019
to maintain a competition handicap; failure to do so will result in the player having a non-
competition handicap.
In order to regain a competition handicap, a player must return either three qualifying scorecards
or three supplementary scorecards or a combination of the two during the previous 12 months.
Nil returns do not count.
A player with a non-competition handicap may enter and play in all club competitions provided
they are within the handicap boundary limit for those competitions, with the exception of the
Club Championships and the Knockout Competitions but will not be eligible to win any vouchers
or trophies.

RETURN OF NON-QUALIFYING AWAY SCORES
Following information received from England Golf in January 2017, it is a requirement for ALL
players to report back to the Handicap Committee ALL scores in non-qualifying competitions played
AWAY from the player’s home club.
ALL such individual scores and/or Team results must be returned in all Singles, Am-Am and 4BBB
with the exception of Texas Scrambles, Foursomes and Greensome competitions, or casual social
rounds.
We have set up blank forms for individuals to label with their own name & report their own scores
or team result(s) throughout the year. Do not leave these until the end of the year to fill in.
If you fill a complete sheet up, please start and label with your name another blank continuation
sheet.
We have set up 3 files – one for the gents & juniors in the Computer room, one for the ladies on
the desk in the Ladies locker room & one at the Academy for Eagle Course members. These have
alphabetical dividers (to be filed by surname) with the blank sheets for the returning of scores. These
forms must be filled in as soon after an away event has been played as practicable & should be left in
the file for the season for the Handicap Committee to review.
Please do not remove these files from the Club.
Failure to return any or all of these scores by an individual can result in loss or suspension of their
handicap under Clause 24.1
…………………………………………
TEMPORARY GREENS
Temporary greens will be positioned on the approaches to the main greens if, in the opinion of the
Course Manager, the weather conditions merit it. The priority is to prevent long-lasting damage to
the main greens and ensure that the whole golf course is in optimum condition during the peak
season.
The temporary greens will NOT have holes cut in them. Players “hole out” once their ball strikes the
log bearing the flag.
In the case of top-lying frost, play on the front nine holes will transfer to temporary greens but the
back nine will remain on main greens. If the frost is prolonged and/or underlying, then play on all 18
holes will transfer to temporary greens.
If the Eagle Course is on temporary greens the chipping green will also be closed. If any of the
holes on the 18-hole course are on any temporary greens, then the putting green will also be closed.
A decision on the protocol to be followed for each day will be taken at 8am that day and
communicated to the Golf Lodge: either the situation will remain as it was at 8am or, if the frost is
due to clear, play will transfer back to main greens between 10am and 11am.
In the event of extreme weather conditions or green/fringe repairs, play will be temporarily
transferred onto temporary greens for as long as is necessary.
Players are asked to respect the decisions of the greenkeepers and thanked in advance for their
co-operation.
