Stay on the cart path until your 90 degrees to your ball then you can drive on the course. We may play fast and loose with etiquette and the rules but always respect the course. And while I'm at it keep up with group in front of you and play from the tees that you can reach a par3 in one shot. Not that any cares or should care for that matter but those are my pet peeves.

No no no! Use the correct club! In this case, it would be the one-armed wedge!

Rough only gives you the option of either side for parking. Those two you don't go on the fairway, you park and walk to your ball while carrying a couple of clubs. 90 degree rule you can go to your ball, but try and stay on the cart path as long as possible. Many times the normal fairway entry points from the cart path will little stakes to keep you from driving off the path too soon. Rough only, park and walk to your ball During the very dry seasons, some courses will make this a seasonal rule. |

Perhaps your groups should learn proper golf etiquette. Have fun yes, behave like you are on a golf course.

It's not about golf....it's all about lunch. TV golf courses are not for real golfers.

This is usually a requirement for the golf cart to stay on the cart path, and only be driven onto the course 90 degrees from the path to your ball. This restriction is most often put in place if the course is wet, and subject to ruts made by cart tires. In those instances where the course is extremely wet, you might be limited to cart path only, and will need to walk to your ball from the path.

Don't drive on the rough!
The ninety degree rule is to stay on the cart path, not the rough, until you are abreast your ball and then go directly to your ball and return to the path after taking the shot. In practice, most players assume the 90 degree rule is equivalent to "scatter", which means you are allowed to drive on the grass.
You should be aware that carts are not allowed anywhere on the grass on any par three hole unless you are disabled and must drive to the ball. On holes where you are allowed on the grass, there is usually a short green and white stake on the edge of the fairway near the cart path. That is where you are required to get off the grass. Finally, I was a play manager at a country club for about seven years before coming to The Villages. The superintendent told me players should not ride in the rough. The fairway is tended with great care and is far healthier and stronger than the rough. If you have played on a lot of fine courses, you would discover many of them have designated entry points to the grass and require players to stay on the fairway, not the rough. |
