Message from the Pro

by Jimmy Bals, PGA

With a spike in golf activity beginning in April, along with the new short game area planned to open in early May, this is a perfect time to review a couple of key policies. Please inform all golfing members of the family of these guidelines.

Attire: Males, junior players included, must wear shirts with a collar and the shirt must be tucked in. Females may wear shirts with or without collar. However, tee shirts are not allowed. Hats must be worn with the bill facing forward.

Signing in Prior to Play: All golfers must sign in at the golf shop counter prior to playing.

Short Game Area Guidelines

Guests: Only guests that are registered for a tee time are permitted to use the short game area. (This is also true for the driving range.) Guests may use the short game area no earlier than one hour prior to their scheduled tee time. Guests are not permitted to use the short game area after their round.

Juniors: Juniors must have a Privilege Card to use the area on their own. Juniors that do not have their Privilege Card must be accompanied by a parent.

General: Parking vehicles and golf carts on the street to access this area is not permitted.

Personal golf carts are restricted from parking in this area at any time. The Short Game practice area will open 30 minutes prior to the first scheduled tee time.

The last tee time shown on Foretees will coincide with golf balls in the Short Game practice area being picked up for the day jharf@maryville.edu

Etiquette: Fix your ball marks as you are able. Fill divots with sand. Avoid hitting several shots from the same area to minimize turf damage. Be respectful of others while practicing.

With golf season underway, we encourage reading of emails sent out via ForeTees from the Golf Professional staff. These emails will go a long way towards keeping you informed. We look forward to seeing everyone on the golf course after the cold March we just experienced.

Senior men kick off their 2023 golf schedule with four events in the month of April. The initial event is the popular opening

Three-Man Scramble on April 5th with an 8:00 am shotgun start, followed by an optional $15 lunch. The Golf Shop selects the teams for the Scramble. There will be a Regular Play day the following week, April 12th. The Senior Cup qualifier will occur on April 19th, with the top eight scores advancing to Round 1 the following week, April 26th. Those not competing in Round 1 will have a Regular Play day on the 26th. Let’s start the year off with a great showing for the Scramble.
