INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAY
TPC Jasna Polana does have a lightning detection system. Although bad weather is not of itself a good reason for discontinuing play, a player is permitted to discontinue play at any time she herself believes there is a danger from lightning. The WMGA strongly endorses each individual’s attention, vigilance and care in this regard, to one’s own safety and that of one’s caddie.
“A suspension of play for a dangerous situation will be signaled by one prolonged note of the siren. All other suspensions will be signaled by three consecutive notes of the siren. In either case, resumption of play will be signaled by two short notes of siren. See Rule 5.7b.”
When play is discontinued in a dangerous situation, players should seek the nearest point of shelter.
SEEK: AVOID:
Lightning shelters Open areas
Clubhouse Water
Maintenance buildings Metal
On-course buildings Wire fences, overhead wires, power lines
Automobiles Isolated trees
Dense trees Elevated ground
Low-lying areas Maintenance machinery
