- course care -

The following points are provided to assist the upkeep of the course and ensure that you and your fellow member have an enjoyable round of golf:

• Sand buckets must be carried and used at all times. They are provided in a bin near the 1st Tee.
• Repair all plug marks on greens with a pitch repairer.
• Enter and leave bunkers from the lowest access point - generally the back of the bunker or a tongue.
• Once footprints are raked out do not leave the rake against the edge of the bunker.
• Do not lean on your putter when on the green.

Before leaving a bunker, a player should carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints made by him, and then leave the rake with the handle pointing toward the tee of the hole being played.
Bunker - picture guide (right)
1. Always enter the bunker at the lowest point.
2. Pull rake toward you as you exit the bunker.
3. If required rake other affected areas.
4. Do not pile sand at the edge of the bunker. Push back excess sand.

Always leave rake in the flat of the bunker with the handle parallel to the line of flight of the hole being played.
Rakes should be placed as far from the edge as possible.

Ball Marks - picture guide (right)

• Do not traverse the putting green with a bag buggy or place your bag of clubs on the putting green.
• Neither players nor caddies should damage the hole by standing close to it, or in recklessly handling the flagstick. The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole before the players leave the putting green.
• Players should not damage the putting green by leaning on putters, or by removing the ball from the hole with their putters. Please remove the ball from the hole with your hands.
