Golf Safety

[Fogram]

Could anybody please tell me what safety provision is required for a Golf Club to function by law.

In respect to what? Do you mean how do they fare in regards to players and spectators being hit by golf balls? This may help:

What Is The Duty By A Golf Course's Owner To Those Who Play On The Course?

The golf course owner's duty is to create rules for the protection of those who rightfully use the course and make sure those rules are enforced. The owner also has a duty to maintain the course using ordinary care and to remedy any potential causes of injury. A golf course's owner will only be liable if he fails to exercise ordinary care (i.e. is negligent) in how he operates the course.

not to mention safeguards such as bells sited on fairways where visibility is compromised and players can sound the bell to warn players on the tee that they have cleared the area.

or an audible alert if their is lightening in the area

or signposts notifying players that they will be crossing through an area where the ball is in play, the signpost normally tells them to look left or right

Why don't you just contact your local golf club and ask them. Say it's research for a college course (or relative's) or something like that if you don't want to be upfront about your reasons. I'm guessing that there's a particular reason for you to be asking this question, as I have a brain that is constantly coming up with thoughts about things, but safety provisions of a Golf Club has never crossed my mind. Good luck.

Thank you for those replies; I have asked the local golf club, whom have never answered my enquiries.
Put another way:-
Does a Golf Club owner require a safety certificate - issued by some external agency - to carry on their business?
If so, who grants this certificate and what is the duration of the certificate?
