Whitetail Ridge Junior Program Safety Rules

1. Make sure no one else is near you before you swing or ahead of you where you might hit them.
2. Do not leave golf clubs in the golf shop or in the clubhouse.  Always know where your clubs are.
3. Always walk off the back of each green to the next tee when the hole is finished.
4. Never throw or bang golf clubs on the ground anywhere on the golf course.
5. Yell “FORE” if a ball is heading in the direction of another player.
6. Juniors under the age of 18 may not operate a golf cart under any circumstances.
7. Running and horseplay will not be tolerated on or around the clubhouse area or on the golf course.
8. When lightning is in the area, clear the golf course immediately or find a rain shelter.
9. Always bring sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun.

Golf Course Use and Care

1. Avoid taking divots when making practice swings and always replace your divot after the shot is made.  When on the tee box, take a practice swing in the rough next to the tee box.
2. Repair your ball mark and two others on every green.  This keeps the greens smooth and nice.
3. Be careful when removing and replacing the flagstick so as not to damage the putting green or hole.
4. Do not run on the greens or walk through sand bunkers unless playing from bunkers.
5. Do not leave your golf bag on the putting greens or in the sand bunkers.
6. Always rake the sand bunkers after playing a shot from them.

Etiquette

1. Always play “ready golf.” This means being ready to hit when it is your turn.
2. If a ball is lost look for it quickly and move on.  Under the rules of golf you have 5 minutes maximum to find your ball.  Do not hold up golfers behind you while looking for a ball.
3. Keep pace with the group in front of you.  If there is a hole open in front of you let faster players behind you play through, or skip the hole to catch up with the group in front of you.
4. Remain quiet and stand still while other golfers are playing.  It is rude to talk and move while someone else is swinging.
5. Remember to fix your divots and repair your ball marks.
