A Friendly Reminder

I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone of a couple things that can be done to help out our maintenance team and the daily playing conditions on our course.  The first item is cart traffic:
-Please remember to rotate your traffic.  Please try not to continue driving through the same areas over and over again, especially in areas where you notice others doing so.  Drive the path to a fresh area before you start your approach to your ball.
-Please avoid known wet areas.
-When driving or parking on the path, please keep all four tires of your vehicle on the path as to not wear out  the turf or create ruts next to the paths.
-Please stay away from tee and green banks.
-Always keep carts on paths as much as possible.

The second item I would like to address is the bunkers.  Please remember to place rakes inside the bunker lip and pointed with the direction of play.

Lastly, Please remember to fix your ball marks on greens.  We have had an abundance of play lately and we do not want the ball marks to get out of hand.

Thanks,
