In the event of an approaching storm special ‘weather warning’ signs will be posted on electronic scoreboards and in the bleachers around the course. Bleachers must be cleared at this time. The sound of a siren or claxon indicates that play is suspended, and the course will be cleared. At this stage close umbrellas and seek shelter. If the storm persists spectator should return to their cars. Avoid the following areas:

• Open areas
• Hilltops and high places
• Isolated trees
• Golf carts
• Wire fencing
• Sky boxes, bleachers or grandstands

Play occurs rain or shine as long as weather is not severe and playing conditions are deemed playable by tournament officials.
