RESPONSIBILITIES
All golfers are expected to assist our green keepers in keeping the course to the high standard of presentation that everyone anticipates.
Replacing all divots and repairing all pitch marks is an essential aspect of golf as repairing your
pitch mark helps maintain a good putting surface for everyone.
A pitch mark left un repaired for ten minutes or longer takes fifteen days to recover, whereas a
pitch mark repaired within five minutes recovers completely within twenty-four hours.
