- The club is taking prudent steps to impose and enforce appropriate protocols to keep everyone safe, but there can be no assurance that the virus will not be contracted by players. This is a risk that each person must assess themselves, and if they choose to play, to take the risk of either contracting the virus or transmitting it to others.
- Men’s and Ladies Night are postponed for the time being
*These rules are all subject to change*
As mentioned above, these are for the health and safety of everyone. Please respect and follow these guidelines at all times! Everyone has been waiting patiently to be able to golf, and by following these guidelines, it will ensure we can continue to do what we enjoy for the rest of the 2020 golf season!
We look forward to seeing everyone out here starting Saturday!
