On another note
We have had several members driving way too close to the greens, and also dropping the ropes on holes like 15 and driving next to grass bunkers etc. the ropes are there for a specific reason. In the next few weeks we will be installing even more posts to prevent on and off on some holes like 15 that have almost 9 cart-off/on paths for a hole that is barely 300 yards long We need to all observe the roped areas, posted areas as we are trying to fill in some of these dead spots that have existed for almost 18 years (that I can remember )
We are trying to be pleasant but it hasn't helped Warnings will be issued the first time for violations and the 2nd time a member intentionally doesn't respect these areas we will begin accessing a penalty of $25 to the account. Again a written warning once but from then on a penalty/fine will be accessed This also pertains to children and staff that play the course, so make sure that everyone in a family is notified to observe these areas.
I assure you that 2 years from now this course will be premiere in these areas that are always struggling to grow grass but we need the compliance of all members in making this happen
