IMPORTANT

MGC Members,

We want to take a moment to remind all golf members about the critical rule and regulation pertaining to hitting golf balls over the driving range net at the long- driving range. The Club has a Conditional Use Permit from the City of St. Louis Park to protect the neighbors on the other side of our fence. If the Club and members abuse this privilege, we could actually lose the right to use the long-driving range or be forced to eliminate the use of any drivers.

We have many policies in place to protect the Club and the membership pertaining to this Conditional Use Permit, such as a detailed driving-range policy, a men’s no-driver list, and an entire section in the MGC Rules and Regulations addressing this issue. We have also installed a video camera which monitors daily activity at the range. If a member hits a ball over the driving range net, that member will have all golf privileges suspended for three months.

Thank you in advance for continuing to follow this very important Club rule.

On behalf of the Board of Directors
