Match
It is hoped that the home player’s club will allow the visiting player courtesy of the course for the purposes of the match. If courtesy is not allowed, both players will be expected to bear the cost of the green fee for the match in equal shares. The visiting player has no right to a practice round, unless that facility is granted by the home player’s club – the visiting player shall be solely responsible for any practice round green fee.
