No members or guests are allowed to use range balls to the big course. NOTE: Any person(s) who do not follow the above policies will be subject to loss of golfing privileges for one year:
1. Slower players/groups should always allow faster players/groups to "play through." Slow play is defined as not keeping pace with the group ahead, or having a complete hole not in use in front of the group when the course is crowded.
2. Saving Time!! Our goal is to complete all 18 hole rounds in 4.5 hours or less for a fourball. Each group should strive to complete each 9 holes in 2 hours or less. Golfers please help us accomplish our time goals by playing "READY GOLF." For example:
A. Be ready to hit when it is your turn. Don't wait for someone to say "you're away."
B. Think about your next shot as you are walking to your ball. Think about club selection before you arrive at your ball.
C. While someone else is hitting, size up your own shot or putt, have the club you want ready. Take your practice swing and be ready to hit.
D. If you are far enough away from the player who is hitting and it won't disturb his/her shot, go ahead and hit.
E. If the player with the Honor isn't ready, go ahead and hit. Protocol is nice, but speed of play should take precedence.
F. Shots do go into deep rough!! Mark their line with some physical object so you can find it readily. Do not spend more than 5 minutes looking for a lost ball. Play a provisional ball whenever allowed by the Rules of Golf.
G. Slow players/groups may be asked by the course staff to speed up play. Please comply with their instructions without discussion.
While it is an old axiom, there is possibly no better advice regarding etiquette than to give your fellow golfer the same consideration you would expect him/her to extend to you.
