Reminders

Welcome back to another season for the Youth Development Program and Ben’s Blurb!  Below are some helpful reminders to keep in mind all season!

  • Pace of Play – Make sure you are always keeping up with the group ahead of you, playing ready golf and going through your routine quickly, players can be penalized for slow play!  A good tip is to leave your bag/pull cart in a spot that is between you and the next tee.  Also, ball searches have been reduced to 3 minutes for 2019!
  • Spectators/Parents – You are not allowed in the fairways at events.  We ask that you stay off to the side on the cart path or even a shot ahead to help spot balls for the group!
