Superintendent's Note
Yes, the turf department oversees the maintenance of the golf course, but we can always use help. Golf course etiquette is instilled in everyone as they learn the game, both the rules, and proper maintenance when on the grounds. It is easy to point the finger at others, but if everyone does their part, there is no need for finger pointing.
Rather than leaving it up to the turf department the next day, your tidiness on the golf course will ensure that the players behind you will enjoy the golf course as much as you did.
We learn growing up to leave a place in better shape than how it was found. I encourage all of you to do your part and try to follow this motto.
Granite GC is one of the best places in the world and it is up to all of us to ensure that everyone else has the same feelings.

How to do your part as a member
CART PATHS
Cart path edges are easily damaged when driven over repeatedly.
When cart path only, try to refrain from straying from the cart path. Wet turf is very susceptible to injury. When cart path only, drive slowly through a puddle on a cart path, rather than driving around it.
BALL MARKS
Incorrectly and unrepaired repaired ball marks take a significant amount of time to heal. Not only do they look bad, but they also adversely impact the roll of golf balls. This results in slower, and bumpier putts.
Just because your ball finished off the green, that doesn’t necessarily mean that your ball didn’t initially impact the green.
A great practice to adopt would be to fix your mark, and one other, to ensure that the green will roll true, and fast for members who follow behind.
