Dear Worcester Country Club Members,
With recorded rounds played at our club, we must all strive to leave our course better than we found it. True golfers prioritize course care alongside their game, and your e orts, regardless of skill level, are crucial to maintaining our club’s esteemed reputation.
Sta Safety A critical concern demands immediate action: sta safety. Last year, 12 maintenance sta members were struck by golf balls, an unacceptable number we must reduce to zero. Our crew works diligently, but increased play means more encounters with golfers. To ensure their safety:
Always make sure maintenance sta see you before hitting your shot. If they are on the hole you’re playing or nearby, yell“fore”to get their attention. If they are using noisy equipment or wearing ear protection, wave or wait a moment for them to look up.
Be patient while they move out of the way. Some tasks, like pulling a hose o the green or completing a mower pass, may take a moment.
If your shot is heading toward someone or going out of sight, always yell“fore”to alert them. For more detailed information, please refer to the USGA’s guide on sharing the course safely with maintenance sta : https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/course-care/green-sectionrecord/63/issue-05/how-to-share-the-course-safely-with-the-maintenance-sta .html
Golf Carts Misused carts can damage turf. Check daily cart rules at the pro shop, as conditions vary. Avoid wet, dry, or newly seeded areas, follow signs, and keep tires on paths. Spread out in high-tra ic zones and avoid tees, greens, and steep slopes to prevent ruts and preserve fairways.
Divot Repair Proper divot repair promotes healing. Replace intact divots and tamp down; use divot mix for gaps or per course policy. Avoid practice swing divots and repair an extra divot to reduce overall impact, ensuring smooth surfaces for all players.
Ball Marks Unrepaired ball marks scar greens for weeks. Gently push turf toward the mark’s center with a tee or tool, avoid lifting, and tamp with your putter for smoothness. Fix one or two extra marks to keep our greens pristine.
Bunker Raking Leave bunkers smoother than you found them. Enter from the low side, rake disturbances, and exit carefully to avoid pulling sand onto grass. Follow rake placement rules—typically outside bunkers—and knock sand o shoes to protect other surfaces
Extra E orts Small actions make a big di erence. Pick up broken tees, manage trash properly, avoid litter (e.g., cigar butts, sunflower seeds), and respect ropes and stakes to prevent equipment damage and maintain our course’s beauty
Course Care Resources If you need an update on how to fix divots, fill divots, or rake bunkers, please consult with Andy Lane, our head professional, or visit the USGA’s Course Care Etiquette collection at https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/course-care/digitalcollections/course-careetiquette.html, where you can find a variety of resources on these topics.
Our Course’s Prestige Worcester Country Club has recently received high praise from prominent figures in the golf community. In a recent Golfweek article, Nathan Grube, Director of the Travelers Championship, named our course among his top 5 favorites, and Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President
of Travelers, called it the most fun golf course he has ever played. The article also highlights the exceptional work of our Superintendent, Adam Moore, and his dedicated team, whose passion and care for the course are evident in its pristine condition.

Our course thrives when we act as stewards. By following these guidelines, we can ensure that Worcester Country Club continues to be recognized as one of the finest courses in the region. Let’s commit to zero sta injuries this year and uphold the excellence that defines our club. Set an example, encourage others, and demonstrate that Worcester Country Club members are dedicated to safety and care.
