Etiquette
Golf is best played by adhering to the following two principles:
- Play the ball as it lies.
- Play and leave the Course as you find it.
To leave the Course as you find it means:
- Repair Ball Marks
- Replace Divots!! Only use sand when you can’t replace your divot.
- Rake Bunkers
- Obey Cart Regulations
- Following these simple principles will allow everyone to enjoy the game.
Pace of Play
The pace of play is a continuing focus of the golf operation. Starting, turn, and finishing times are closely monitored. Players who fail to keep up with the pace of play will be notified by a letter from the Golf Shop with their time of play. This letter will detail fast play tips to help maintain pace in the future.
Adopt these resolutions for faster play:
- Play ready Golf. Tee off when ready, hit when ready, and putt out when ready.
- If carts are restricted to the cart path only, take extra clubs with you so you will not have to return to the cart.
- Minimize practice swings. If possible, take them while others areplaying their shots.
- Play from the tee markers that are appropriate for your skill level.
- Do not spend unnecessary time looking for lost balls. Though the rules allow 5 minutes to search for a lost ball, course usage may dictate that you can spend only one or two minutes in order to keep up with the group in front of you. If you think your ball may be lost outside of a water hazard, you may play a provisional ball.
- Do not stop for lunch at the turn. “Quick food” is available from the beverage cart and the Halfway House.
- Minimize cell phone usage.
- Be in position and ready to hit when it is your turn to play.
- The Pace of Play at the Medallion Club is 4 hours and 10 minutes for a foursome.
Adopt A Hole Program
This year we will be starting an adopt a hole program. We will be unveiling this program at the Opening Day Bash. We will be assigning holes for each of us to personally look after during the 2011 season. Hopefully we can all help keep our golf course in wonderful shape. |
