GREEN FEES

The bar staff will issue a ticket/receipt which must be carried and available for inspection while on the green. Failure to observe this requirement could result in the green fee payable being increased to €100. Bowlers are reminded that any green fee paid entitles the bowler to play throughout the day subject to rink availability.
