Golf Car Traffic
Mother Nature has been very good to all of the golfers so far this
winter with warmer than normal temps in January and only 4
frosts! Unfortunately she hasn’t been as nice with the rainfall this
winter. Our area is behind normal rainfall 5 ½ inches in past two
months alone and the golf courses are starting to show the wear
and tear with all of the golf car and foot traffic and the drought
conditions. Consequently we all need to do our part and together
we can keep our course in the best possible shape given the
circumstances.
We are asking two things of our golfers to help our courses be the
best the can be:
 Please use the 90 degree rule when riding off the golf car
path onto the fairways. That is to say, please exit the golf car
path at 90 degrees to your ball, drive to your golf ball, then
you’re riding partner’s ball and return straight back to the
golf car path. Additionally, when possible, please drive your
golf car in the rough area’s and avoid worn areas as much as
possible.
 When checking in with the Starter you will be asked to pair
up so your four-some will be using only two golf cars. We
realize there are at times, personal reasons for wanting to ride
in your own golf car, but in order to provide the best possible
conditions; we need to minimize unnecessary golf car traffic.
If there remains a compelling or necessary reason for your
group to take three golf cars during your round, one of the
three golf cars with be required to remain on the golf car path
on each hole.
