  • Please carry a sand bucket with you for all rounds to repair divots.
  • After playing a shot, ensure the divot is filled with sand and smoothed across, creating an even playing surface.

Other Damage to Greens

It would be appreciated if players and caddies could be aware of other forms of green damage. Examples:

  • Please place unattended flagstick gently on the green or surrounds.
  • Please place flagstick in middle of cup when leaving the green.
  • Avoid standing too close to the hole when holding the flagstick.
