Off Season Golf Course Etiquette
One of the benefits to our “snowless” winter is
the continued availability of our golf course being open for play. Our intention is to allow our members the opportunity
to prolong the golf season and enjoy our golf course a bit longer than usual
for this time of year.
Although the weather may provide a continued
opportunity to play more golf for our members who stay up north for the winter,
it also takes a bit of a toll on the golf course. The lack of snow cover, exposure to the
elements and continued wear and tear on the turf may have an effect on the overall
course conditions come spring time. Please
understand that any bunker not raked, divots that are not replaced or the unrepaired
ball marks on the greens will not heal on their own this time of year and will
contribute to inconsistent and poor conditions for our members for the
remainder of the off season.
Therefore we ask for the continued cooperation
from our members who chose to play golf during the winter months with the following…
- Please repair YOUR ball mark and at least one other on the greens
- Please replace all divots with the turf and sand combination
- Please keep your golf cart at least 30 YARDS away from ALL greens at ALL times and pay strict attention to directional signs and stakes
- Please scatter golf carts to help eliminate soil compaction
- Please keep golf carts on paths around all greens, tees and ALL PAR 3’s
While it is our pleasure to stay open throughout
the winter as the weather allows, we must look towards the new season which
will be here before you know it. Our
entire staff appreciate in advance your continued cooperation and your courtesy
to the rest of our members in helping us maintain the wonderful golf course
conditions that we have enjoyed all year.
See you at the club
Warmest regards,
Vic
