What action should a player take if they notice a weather disruption during play?

When a player notices a weather disruption during play, the appropriate action is to immediately stop play and report to officials. This is essential for the safety of all players on the course. Severe weather conditions such as lightning, heavy rain, or strong winds can pose significant risks. By promptly stopping play, players can seek shelter and avoid potential injuries. Reporting to officials ensures that the situation is handled properly, allowing them to assess the conditions and make informed decisions about whether to resume play or delay it further. Taking this action is part of a player's responsibility to maintain a safe playing environment and adhere to the rules of the game.
