GREYSTONE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

GOLF RULES

GOLF CARTS It is the Club’s policy to permit the Members and their guests the privilege to operate golf carts as provided by the Club during the play of a round of golf and to transport themselves and their equipment to and from the practice areas when available. Members are strictly responsible for their guests and their own safe operation of the golf carts so as not to interfere with fellow players’ enjoyment of the game, and always guard against injury to persons or property damage, especially the playing surfaces of the golf course. The Golf Course Superintendent (or, in his absence, the Head Golf Professional) shall have sole authority over whether golf carts will be permitted on the course. The Club is not responsible for accidents or damages involving carts. Reckless driving or rule violations may result in loss of playing privileges. Only Club-owned or authorized carts are permitted, and caution must always be exercised. The Club reserves the right to refuse or cancel the use of a golf cart without refunding any fees to anyone not following the golf cart rules or policies established by the Club. All players agree, for the privilege of using a golf cart, to pay or reimburse the Club for any and all charges arising out of breakage, shortage, or damages to the golf cart, other than ordinary wear and tear, and any damage to the golf course or any of the improvements thereto. The golf cart operator (and sponsoring Member if the operator is a guest of a Member) agrees to indemnify and hold the Club, its officers, directors, and employees harmless from any and all injury, damage, or claims to any nature whatsoever whether to person, property, or both, that may arise out of, or result from or through the use of the golf cart by the person operating the same. Carts must stay on paths within 30 yards of tees and greens. Carts must be returned to the staging area and not taken into parking lots. Enforcement of the golf cart rules shall be the responsibility of all members, the Director of Golf or Head Golf Professional, and his staff. Violations shall be reported to the golf staff, who, in turn, will report all violations to the Competition Committee. The driver, passenger, or, if guests, the mem ber host may be sanctioned for violations. FILLING DIVOTS Members and their guests are expected to fill any divots created during play using the sand provided on golf carts or in designated containers throughout the course. The sand should be applied evenly and leveled with the surrounding grass to promote proper turf recovery. Overfilling should be avoided as it can interfere with maintenance and damage equipment. BUNKERS After playing from a bunker, players must rake the disturbed area to leave it smooth and level for the next golfer. Footprints and divots should be carefully addressed, and rakes should be placed outside the bunker in desig nated areas, parallel to the edge. To protect the bunker’s edges, always enter and exit from the lowest point. BALL MARKS Players are responsible for repairing any ball marks made on the greens. This should be done using a repair tool to gently press the turf back into place without twisting or pulling, which could damage the roots. When possible, players are encouraged to repair additional marks they notice to maintain the quality of the putting surface. Carts must stay on paths unless the 90-degree rule is in effect.
