GOLF COURSE ETIQUETTE

Persons using the golf facilities should do their part to make a round of golf at the Crimson Ridge Golf Club a pleasant experience for everyone. Here are some suggestions:

54. Do not waste time. Anticipate the club or clubs you may need and go directly to your ball. Always be near your ball to play promptly when it is your turn. If a player is delayed in making a shot, it would be courteous for such player to indicate to another player to play.

55. The time required to hole out on and around the green is a chief cause of slow play. Study and clear the line of your putt while others are doing the same. Be ready to putt when it is your turn.

56. When approaching the green, park your golf cart on the path on the best direct line to the next tee. This can save about one-half hour per round. Never leave the golf cart in front of the green where you will have to go back to get it, while the following players wait for you to get out of the way.

57. When play of a hole is completed, leave the green promptly and proceed to the next tee without delay. Do the scoring for the completed hole while the others in your group are playing from the next tee.

58. It is the overriding interest of the Crimson Ridge Golf Club that each group maintain their original starting position on the course. However, if you are not holding your place on the course, allow the players behind to play through. Do the same if you stop to search for a lost ball.

59. Repair your ball marks on the greens. If you see unrepaired marks repair them also. Remind your playing partners to observe this courtesy.

60. Carefully rake bunkers after use.
