- The Board continues to receive complaints about slow play. Please be part of the solution and not part of the problem by diligently performing the following:
- Always make sure your group is keeping pace with the group ahead
- Walk or drive to your ball when your playing partner is hitting
- Hit a provisional ball when there's a chance your ball may be lost
- Line up your putt while your playing partner is putting
- Putt out whenever possible
- Always play ready golf
- Always make sure your group is keeping pace with the group ahead
