Keeping Up
As the short days are now fast approaching, we should all remember to avoid slow play on our golf course, ‘’ Your position on the course is a shot behind the group ahead of you and not just ahead of the group behind you!’’ All golfers must practice good golfing etiquette if your group is holding up the group behind then simply call them through.
