Golf Rules
A link to current USGA rules can be found HERE. And if you want to brush up on your golf etiquette, we recommend:
Pace of Play
Checkpoints for Out of Position
Par 3 – if the group in front is walking off the tee in front of you, then you are out of position
Par 4 – if you are on the tee and the group in front of you is off the green, you are out of position
Par 5 – if you are on the tee and the group in front of you is on the green, you are out of position
Quote of the Month
If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play at it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.
--- Bob Hope
