Divot Repair

• Do not replace divots – the grass will grow up through the soil over time
• Use sand provided in sand bottles on each cart to fill the divot
• Fill the divot until full, but do not overfill – overfilling can damage mower blades and negatively impact the lie of a later player’s ball
• Use the same repair technique for divots in the rough
• When leaving the cart to hit a shot, take a sand bottle with you – especially for shots within 75 yards

Ball Mark Repair

• Use a ball mark repair tool or tee
• Insert repair tool/tee around the outside edges of the ball mark
• As you repeatedly insert tool/tee push the turf in towards the center of the ball mark – do not lift the turf up as you do so
• Continue the process until the ball mark is “filled in”
• Use a club or your foot to gently tap down the raised turf to smooth out the putting surface
• Look around and repair other ball marks on the green without unduly slowing down play

1. Enter and exit the bunker from the “low” side

• Prevents sand from being pushed down the face of the bunker
• Safer – steep slopes can be difficult to navigate and may cause injury

2. Smooth sand with the rake as you exit the bunker

• Take the rake into the bunker before you hit your shot
• Retrace your steps as you exit

3. Leave the rake outside the bunker

• Point handle back towards the fairway
• Place rake away from approach-to-green areas

4. Tap sand off the bottom of your shoes after you exit the bunker

• Prevents tracking sand onto the green

5. If you see another unraked area in the bunker, please rake it also

• Do so quickly so as not to delay play

Plastic Conservation

• Reducing plastic use and waste helps reduce our carbon footprint
• Water bottles in each cart were reduced from four to two
• Water refill stations were installed at all course restrooms
• Use refill stations to refill and reuse your water bottle
• Even better, bring your own water bottle and refill it as necessary

Recycling

• Near the tee box of each hole are trash cans (lids have larger openings)
• About every third hole, there is also a recycling trash can (lids have small, round openings)
• Put cans AND bottles in the recycling cans – they will be separated later
• All other trash goes into the regular trash cans
• Any trash or cans/bottles left in the cart will be disposed of properly by the cart barn

Cart Procedures:

• Green and white stakes are used for cart traffic control
• Do not drive over them or in between them
• Drive past them before entering the rough / fairway of the hole

• Signs are posted on several tee box areas of both courses indicating whether the 90-degree is in effect or if it is “cart path only”
• Par three holes are always “cart path only”

• Drive the cart on the cart path until you reach the distance of your ball on the hole
• Drive onto the course at a 90-degree angle until you reach your ball
• After hitting your shot, drive on the fairway / rough until you reach your ball and hit your next shot
• Once the ball is within 75 yards of the green, drive your cart, at a 90-degree angle, back to the cart path

• Make sure all four wheels are on the cart path
• Do not drive the cart off the cart path near tee boxes and greens
• Allow enough room for other carts returning to the clubhouse to pass and still stay on the cart path
