1ST WEEK OF LEAGUES

Couldn't be happier to get back together for leagues and the weather was perfect!!

SPEEDY PLAY MAKES HAPPY PLAY
1. Play ready golf
2. Park push and riding carts at back or side of green towards next hole
3. Please exit greens quickly and record scores at next tee box
4. Help others find lost balls
5. Keep yourself and your cart out of the line of play 
6. Use appropriate volume and language on course 
7. And please arrive early enough to be completely ready to play before the first tee time (pay, load cart, etc.)

 We hope these reminders will add to our golfing fun.
