USGA Rule 7.1 How to Fairly Search for Ball

Golf Shop Hours: Daily 7am-5:30pm

branches and other growing or attached natural objects, and also breaking such objects, but only if such breaking is a result of other reasonable actions taken to find or identify the ball.

If taking such reasonable actions as part of a fair search improves the conditions affecting the stroke there is no penalty. But if the improvement results from actions that exceeded what was reasonable for a fair search, you get the general penalty.

What to Do If Sand Affecting Lie of Your Ball Is Moved While Trying to Find or Identify It

You must re-create the original lie in the sand but may leave a small part of the ball visible if the ball had been covered by sand.

If you play the ball without having re-created the original lie, you get the general penalty.

General Penalty: Loss of hole in match play or two penalty strokes in stroke play: A form of play where you or your side competes against all other players or sides in the competition.

Thank you all for your support. Fairways and Greens!

The Holiday Season is Here!

The holidays are just around the corner, and your HOA hopes everyone has a relaxing, memorable holiday spent with family and friends. In effort to keep the neighborhood looking its best, and streets clear of vehicles, debris, trash cans, etc., there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Outdoor Decorations: please ensure outdoor holiday displays do not begin more than 30 days before the given holiday and are removed no later than 30 days after the holiday. Lights and musical displays should be turned off nightly by 10pm.

2. Parking: The holidays bring many people together, and that means extra cars will need to be parked. When parking guests please make sure roads, sidewalks and neighboring driveways and mailboxes are not blocked. Also, ensure cars are not parked, on either side of the street, directly across from one another, as this causes difficulties for other drivers on the road.

3. Overnight Guests: Please make yourself familiar with the community covenants and restrictions: Article V Section 10: Vehicular Restrictions to determine what types of
