Starting this week, around each green there is a blue line painted on the grass. The lines have been painted to help our members with Blue Handicap Flags identify the appropriate distance to keep the cart from the green. These lines are painted at approximately 15' away from the greens which is the distance as stated in the original handicap flag agreement. The rules haven't changed. The golf committee simply wants to assist in helping golfers identify the appropriate distance. The intent is to continue to provide our members needing assistance with the help they need while also managing the cart traffic around our greens in order to protect our golf course.
A few other things to keep in mind:
1- A cart should never be driven between a green and a bunker. This is both unsafe and concentrates traffic stress into a small area.
2- The blue flags are intended to help the players who have difficulty walking. If the other player in the cart does not need a blue flag they should not be driven to their ball beside the green and dropped off. This places unnecessary wear and tear on the golf course.
