Requests from Andy:

• Allowing individual carts keeps us safer during the health crisis however one of the downsides is additional wear and
tear to the golf course. Lately, we have seen players driving carts where they should not be driving. Please, please,
please use the cart paths as much as possible, particularly near the greens. Staying 50 yards back from greens keeps
the surfaces from compacting, making greenside areas more receptive to approach shots, and allowing the turf to
stand vertically for better lies when you pitch and chip. Hint: If you are driving over a curb returning to the cart
path, you have driven way too close to the green!

• Please continue to fix ball marks! This year we instituted a player ‘ownership’ program where the first letter of the
last name corresponds to a specific green on the golf course. Do you know what your number is?

• Now that we are transitioning back to summer grass, make sure you change out your divot fill bottles from soil/seed
to sand. You can dispose of the soil/seed mixture at the trash can located near the main cart barn. When filling
divots, please use the appropriate amount of sand. Don’t leave a mini mountain; please level out the sand with your
foot.

• It is already warming up and three-digit temperatures are upon us! Start hydrating when you wake up, continue
hydrating during your round, and keep on hydrating into the evening, well after golf.
