What happens if your ball accidentally moves while searching for it? USGA Rule 7.4
“There is no penalty if the player’s ball is accidently moved by the player, opponent or anyone else while trying to find or identify it. BUT if the player causes the ball to move before the start of the search for the ball, the player gets one penalty stroke under Rule 9.4b.” (R&A/USGA Rules of Golf Effective January 2023, Rule 7.4 pg. 72)
Under this rule, the ball must be replaced in its original spot if known. If the original spot is unknown, it must be estimated.
Thank you all for your support. Fairways and Greens!

Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. With all the fun and excitement that’s sure to ensue it’s important for residents to be considerate of neighbors, and keep the following items 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.
