Mystery Stakes

Returning To Cartpath By The First Green

  We are going to try a new program, and we'll need all golfer's cooperation... On each fairway we have placed two blue and white stakes. We are asking golfers who are still driving on the fairway as they approach the green, to access the cartpath by driving between the two stakes. These stakes will be moved daily. If we can get a majority of golfers to do this, we will spread out the wear and tear on the turf. This should help us keep the grass in these areas in better condition.
