We love to see parents there supporting their daughters and the team at our golf meets. If this is your first meet or if you need a refresher, here are some guidelines to know.

• Keep at least 10 yards from any competitor.

• Golf carts may or may not be available for spectator rental. Please check with the club house when you get to the course.

• Spectators may not converse with competitors. Violations of this rule could result in a penalty or even disqualification of the golfer. Walking beside your daughter will be deemed having a conversation with them.

• Applause and positive comments such as “nice shot” are encouraged, but spectators may not speak in private with the competitors. Please do not attempt to give rulings to competitors.

• We are guests and ask for your assistance in using trash cans and observing proper golf course etiquette.

• Lightning Procedure. If inclement weather dictates the removal of people from the golf course, a warning horn will be sounded. Please seek shelter immediately.

• Once players reach the green, spectators should be up with the players even with the green on or near the cart path, so the approach shots of the next group of golfers are not hindered.

• Spectator cell phones need to be on silent or vibrate while on the course.

• Spectators may only use cell phones (talk) while in the clubhouse.

• Spectators are allowed use of their cell phones as a camera but should not use flash during play.

Thank you for your cooperation pertaining to these matters.
