Acting within the guidelines of the Victorian Golf Association’s Heat Policy, which was prepared utilising information issued by Sports Medicine Australia, the Bendigo Golf Club has the following heat policy for scheduled Club Competitions. This decision has been made to reduce the risk of heat related injury and illness to players involved in Bendigo Golf Club events.

1. Should the forecast temperature for Bendigo at 4.00pm on the day prior to a scheduled Bendigo Golf Club event be 38 degrees or above, the event for that day will be restricted to a morning competition only.
2. The assessment of extreme hot weather (i.e. 38 degrees or above) will be undertaken by the Bendigo Golf Club Match Committee or representatives thereof with reference to the forecast temperature contained on the Bureau of Meteorology Website (www.bom.gov.au).
3. Players, who have entered their names on the relevant time sheet for an afternoon hit off, should check with the Pro Shop to arrange a new time slot if weather forecasts indicate the possibility of extreme heat conditions. Players may check with the Club if they need further information or assistance in this matter.
4. On competition days, where the forecast temperature is 38 degrees or more, no time slots will be scheduled after 9.30am.
