GRASS COURTS - NO PLAY BEFORE 1030 hrs.
47. Grass Courts may be out of service if they are damp or being rested. See the notice by court one. Please adhere to these instructions rigorously. A court can be ruined by play when the court is too damp. Grass Courts are unfit for play if:
- the surface under the grass is muddy / damp, particularly on the baselines.
- you can push your thumb into the grass and move the earth.
- you brush the grass with the back of your hand and it’s wet.
48. The Groundsman is the final arbiter as to whether the courts are fit for play or, in his absence, the Ground Secretary or another member of the Committee.
