Lightning Safety:
The warning system for any lightning in the area will be 1 long blast of an air horn. Play is suspended immediately; players are to mark and leave their ball and all persons are to return to the Clubhouse or nearest shelter as quickly as possible. Players will wait at the Clubhouse for further instructions to return to their playing position. When players return, a single blast of the horn will indicate safe conditions for golf and play will continue.
