Course Etiquette and Expectations
When in league play with prizes available at the end of the game, exchange scorecards in your group so that you do not have your own card. Always double check hole by hole for scores and check your addition. Make sure two signatures are on the card when you submit the card to the pro shop. The ball must be holed out unless it is determined that you can pick up once you hit the max score for the hole.

Your foursome should be no more than a half a hole behind the foursome in front of you. Wait until the green is clear to approach on a par 3. On any other hole wait behind the 150 yard marker until the green is clear.

Cart Rules: All four tires should remain on the paths around the greens and tees.

Handicap flags: Carts must remain 30 yards from the greens, not where the flag is located.

Sand traps: Always rake your foot prints after completing your shot.

Divots: Fix divots on the fairway with sand and on the green with a tool.

Flag Stick: Do not toss/drop the flag stick to the ground. Lay the stick down carefully to protect the GPS device.

Cell phones: Refrain from taking calls while playing golf. Suggestion: place phone on vibrate so that ringtones do not disturb other golfers.

Smoking: Smoking is discouraged. Be discreet, if you do smoke and clean up the debris.
