Default Villages Golf Polices

I have never seen them printed, but, it seems like many are following them.
Rule:
1. If no one is behind you on the golf course you can play as slow as you want
2. Age 65 and older don't have to bend down to fix a ballmark-health issue
3. You don't have to rake a fairway bunker because you take less sand
4. Greenside bunkers are raked after use, BUT, a 2nd or 3rd attempt you don't have
to rake as it will hold up play
5. 4 putting is allowed..if the 5th putt is conceded
6. Balls hit in the water allow a 6 minute looking time as you may help cleaning up
the ponds by finding other balls
7. Putting sand in divots is for under 65--same health issue
8. When the ladies group in front of you is distancing themselves you can complain
to the ambassador that they are playing too fast
9. Divots on the tee box don't have to fixed as people can use a tee
10. Taking 10 minutes to hit your shot is okay as we all want you to be right
11. Taking selfies of each player and the foursome on every other hole is okay,
the group behind waving and jumping up and down are just happy for you.
Taking pictures of gators and birds falls under the same category
12. Mulligans are encouraged as we want you to enjoy your day, even if it takes more than one

As long as everyone follows the same rules, life is good, Happy Thanksgiving
and we are thankful if these are not your habits...........
