BASIC RULES AND ETIQUETTE
Like any other game, golf is governed by rules and regulations which ensure each golfer has the same chance to perform to the best of their ability and still enjoy the game to its fullest. The rules listed below are some of the more general ones that every participant should be familiar with:
Noise or movement should not occur when a player is preparing to make a shot.
Stand well clear and out of the vision of a player addressing their ball.
Be aware of others around you during practice swings.
Error on the side of caution. Before striking your ball ensure the group ahead is out of your range.
If you are unsure about whether the ball you hit is going to be close, yell “FORE”.
If the thought has crossed your mind, yell, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Punctuality is greatly appreciated not only for your foursome but also for the PRO SHOP.
Try to arrive at least 15 - 20 minutes ahead of your tee time.
If you have to cancel, please call the PRO SHOP at 777-7100.
Always be ready to hit your ball without delay… All golf courses are busy.
Everyone should do their part to keep the balls moving… A well-paced 18-hole game at Tor Hill should take 4 - 4 1/2 hours.
Every course has local rules which address out-of bounds, water hazards, obstructions, motor cart use, etc.
Prior to beginning your golf game, become familiar with these rules.
SANDTRAPS.... deserve special note. After walking in them, cover your tracks so it looks like you were never there.
GREENS: Flagsticks may or may not be pulled.
Each individual player has this choice of leaving the flag in the pin.
If it is pulled place it far enough out of play so as not to disturb any stray putts.
Replace divots, replace divots....
Lastly, place your marker behind the ball.
