The Basic DOs & DON’Ts

The “Two Club Length” Rule
The “Two Club Length” Rule
Stay 2 yards or a couple Drivers apart. This is #1 because it should apply everywhere you go.
“Can’t Touch This”
“Can’t Touch This”
Avoid high touch points on the course. Leave the pin alone, do not pick tees up off the ground, avoid ball washers, do not handle range balls (use your club) and NO HANDSHAKES on the 18th green.
Bring your own hand sanitizer Rule
Bring your own hand sanitizer Rule
Get yourself a little squirt bottle and fill it with a good hand sanitizer. The best contain 80% ethanol, it’s very effective and dries fast without a greasy residue left on your hands and grips.
Don’t arrive too early
Don’t arrive too early
We want to keep as few people on property at one time as possible. Arrive no earlier then 15 minutes before your tee time. If you’re early stay in your car to visualize your game that day.
Go home after play
Go home after play
Many of us are used to hanging around after to practice or socialize after a great round. Courses ask when you’re done, go straight to your car and exit the property.
No Tee Time…Stay Home
No Tee Time…Stay Home
Only visit a golf course if you have a booked tee time. Courses will have entrance attendants and you will be required to have a booked tee time for property access.
