Jeremy wanted to confirm a ladies league rule for league play only. This rule will come into play on #2, #3 and #17 and has been put into play to increase enjoyment of the game and pace of play.

When a player hits a ball in the water it costs one shot to put a new ball in play. For one additional shot a player can chose to take a drop on the other side of the yellow staked penalty area at the designated drop zone (closely mown area).  For example: I hit a ball in the water on 17, I am in the water on my 1st shot, taking the ball out on my 2nd hitting my 3rd from back on the tee. I can choose to hit my 3rd shot from the tee or for an additional shot drop on the other side of the water in the drop zone hitting my 4th shot. Use this rule during your casual and league play days. As always if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

Hopefully we can continue to grow our ladies golf program. Jeremy will be working to coordinate our most recent additions to the Ladies League with those of you that already are playing regularly on the course! Please let Jeremy know if you would like him to coordinate a new player into your group.
