With April coming to a close and three beautiful days forecast for this weekend I wanted to give the membership a few reminders for their time on the course.
Already there are a fair amount of ball marks that have not been repaired on the greens. I want to remind everyone that ball mark repair is important, even with the turf actively growing! All of the golf carts have now been stocked with divot mix, with last year's green dye back by popular demand. Divots should be filled with mix and stepped on or patted with a club until flush.
Lastly, some of you will notice that some of the ropes have returned to the course. While our goal is to keep their presence minimal, whether or not we achieve it is out of our hands. The more care taken with cart traffic and parking, the fewer ropes need to be put out. Anyone who remembers the rope placements from last year can use them as a guideline. Whether or not there are ropes in a specific place today, the presence of ropes there last year indicate that that is an area to be avoided.
Let us all remember that repairing ball marks, filling divots, and being mindful of where carts are driven and parked is more than course stewardship- it's good sportsmanship!
See you on the course!
