PLAY FAST TUESDAY

UPDATE:  League play is cancelled Tuesday, April 21.  We will play the week one schedule next week, and will play the first weekend in September.

It gets dark early this time of year, so each group should attempt to finish their rounds in 2 hours or less.  The rule changes we made during the banquet last year should help.  The rules for 2015 will be attached to the ball washers on holes one and five for your review, and are posted to the right of this message.  Some keys for fast play on Tuesday include:

1.  Get to the course early enough to warm up (if you want), review the rules, and tee off as soon as the group ahead of you is out of range.  Have golfers who hit shorter drives go first - honors should not be as important as ready golf.

2.  For lost balls, balls out of bounds, and balls hit into the trees, use the new rules to take a drop and do not look for balls for more than a minute or two.  The generous new drop rules should limit the impact of the one stroke penalty.
