Transportation Policy
1. Introduction
1.1 It is a condition of all competitions conducted by the Golfing Union of Ireland and its Provincial
Branches that all competitors must walk unless they are in the possession of valid medical
confirmation of disability as defined below.
1.2 This Policy is the Transportation Policy of the Golfing Union of Ireland as referred to in the
relevant Tournament Conditions and the Golfing Union of Ireland Hard Card.
1.3 The Union wishes to encourage the participation in golf of all players regardless of disabilities, in
accordance with its responsibilities under the Irish Disability Act (2005) and the UK Disability
Discrimination Act (1995).
1.4 Other associations and golf clubs should take separate legal advice in the event that they wish to
put in place a transportation policy different to this policy or appropriate to their specific needs.
2. Definitions
2.1 “Disability” shall carry the same meaning as that of the Irish Disability Act (2005) and UK
Disability Discrimination Act (1995). A person has a disability if he/she has a physical or
intellectual impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on
his/her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
2.2 “Golf Buggy” shall mean any vehicle deemed to be a golf buggy by the Championship Committee.
2.3 “Championship Committee” shall refer to the controlling authority for championships run under
the auspices of the Golfing Union of Ireland.
2.4 “Valid medical confirmation of disability” shall mean the Certificate contained in Appendix 1
entitled “Medical Confirmation of Disability”.
3. Persons who may use a golf buggy
3.1 Competitors: As per the General Rules for Union Championships, a Golf Buggy may be utilised
only by a competitor in possession of valid medical confirmation of disability, and then only if (a)
the Host Club permits the use of such machines and (b) no Health & Safety considerations
prevent the use of such machines. In such circumstances, it is the responsibility of the person
concerned to provide a buggy, not the Golfing Union of Ireland. The buggy may be used only by
the person named on the certificate and may only carry his equipment and caddie. Where the
disability prevents the player from driving the buggy, he/she may nominate a third party to drive
the buggy for them who must be approved by the Committee.
3.2 Caddies: A person in possession of valid medical confirmation of disability who intends to
caddie for an able-bodied competitor may utilise a golf buggy on the same conditions as 3.1
above. The able-bodied competitor – in such circumstances – may not use the buggy.
3.3 Under 18 Competitors: Where a player is under the age of 18 years and has met the criteria
in 3.1 above, the Committee shall reserve the right to specify that the golf buggy is driven by a
person having parental responsibility for the player, or, in the case that such a person is unable
or not competent or qualified to do so, another person of the Committee’s choice. Any
restrictions regarding caddies specified in the Event Conditions must be adhered to in this
process.
3.4 Any individual intending on using a buggy on the grounds of medical disability must ensure they
carry a copy of the Certificate of Disability at any event in which they apply for use of a buggy,
and that, subsequent to the acceptance of such an application, they continue to retain the
Certificate for production at the request of a tournament official.
3.5 Team Captains / Others: The Championship Committee will, in its absolute discretion,
decide on whether a Team Captain or other party may use a buggy. Due regard will be paid to
the Acts specified above in such decisions.4. Committee discretion on the use of a golf buggy
4.1 Where the use of a buggy by a player or where appropriate a caddie or third party is permitted,
the Committee shall have regard to the following additional health and safety considerations
before granting approval:
(a) Any relevant weather conditions;
(b) The topography and ground conditions;
(c) The condition of and suitability of the golf buggy; and
(d) Any other relevant considerations which could impede the safe use of a golf buggy or impact
on the safety of others.
4.2 In the event that the Committee believes that for reasons of health and safety a golf buggy
should not be used by players, caddies or third parties at a particular time he/they may:
(a) Refuse to grant permission for the use of a golf buggy, and shall inform the player, caddie or
third party of this decision; or
(b) Revoke any such permission in the event of new health and safety considerations having
come to light since the granting of the initial permission to use a golf buggy
4.3 The Championship Committee may require any player, caddie or other third party granted
permission to use a buggy to complete and sign a Transportation Policy Consent prior to use.
5. Conditions on the use of golf buggies
5.1 Where a player, caddie or other third party is permitted to use a golf buggy by the
Championship Committee, the user must agree to the terms and conditions of use:
(a) Any person operating a golf buggy must do so with the utmost courtesy, care and
consideration for the safety and convenience of others and in accordance with any
relevant golf buggy operating guidelines;
(b) The golf buggy must be open-sided;
(c) The golf buggy shall be for the sole use of the player or caddie, unless a member of the
Committee has deemed that for reason of age or disability a third party is required to
drive the golf buggy;
(d) A golf buggy must not impede or interfere with normal pedestrians or vehicular traffic
flow on roadways, ramps and pavements;
(e) A player who has been granted permission to use a golf buggy (or any caddie or other
third party who has been permitted to drive the golf buggy) must always remain seated
while in the golf buggy when the vehicle is in motion;
(f) Drivers of golf buggies must comply with directional signs and not use prohibited areas;
(g) A player who has been granted permission to use a golf buggy (or any caddie or other
third party who has been permitted to drive the golf buggy) must accept responsibility
for any losses or injury sustained as a result of his or her fault whilst using a golf buggy;
and
(h) A player, caddie or any other person intending to use his/her own buggy must – having
been so permitted by the Championship Committee – have adequate personal and third
party insurance. The Championship Committee may require the buggy owner to
stipulate to this in writing.
5.2 Use of a golf buggy at a GUI event, under any circumstances, is conditional on conformity with
all preceding clauses of 5.1 unless otherwise required by the Championship Committee. The
allowance of a buggy will be withdrawn at any time should the competitor, caddie or other party
so allowed be found to be in breach of this policy.
