PAY
ATTENTION - PREFERRED TEE TIME
RULES:
·
Brian would like to note the following for
the coming year. Be ready to play 15
minutes before you tee off time. Players
not ready will risk being bumped to the next available tee time. Delays of even two minutes makes everyone’s
round longer. Do your part - BE
ON TIME.
·
If you make a tee time and are unable to
meet that time, Call the Pro Shop and Cancel the time!! Failure to do so may cause you and the other
three players to get the last available time the next time you request a time.
·
Preferred Tee Times are for members of the
association ONLY!! Each foursome
must have at least 3 members from the association to be awarded a preferred
time. Do NOT abuse this privilege.
==========================================================================================
Etiquette - Courtesy
on the Course
Safety - Prior
to playing a stroke or making a practice swing, the player should ensure
that no one is standing close by or in a position to be hit by the club, the
ball or any stones, pebbles, twigs or the like that may be moved by the stroke
or swing.
Consideration for Other
Players -The player who has the honor should be
allowed to play before his opponent or fellow-competitor tees his
ball. No one should move, talk or stand
close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing
the ball or making a stroke. No player should play until the players
in front are out of range.
Pace of Play -In
the interest of all, players should play without delay. If a player believes his ball may be lost
outside a water hazard or out of bounds, to save time, he should
play a provisional ball. Players
searching for a ball should signal the players behind them to pass as soon as
it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found. They should not
search for five minutes before doing so. They should not continue play until
the players following them have passed and are out of range.
PLEASE . . . .NO CELL
PHONES DURING PLAY
