Hello, Landings Golfers! Happy New Year! We are ready for a busy golf season here at The Landings. Here are a few suggestions to make the game more enjoyable for all: Did you know that the average number of ball marks made on the greens per round is 8 per golfer? Assuming only 130 rounds are played in a day on your course, your greens receive 1,040 impressions daily or 31,000 per month or more than 374,000 per year. Are you wondering how anyone can make a putt under these conditions? Please take a few seconds and repair your ball marks!
The condition of sand traps is also a factor in play. Raking traps is always helpful to you and the golfers that play after you. And don’t forget that at The Landings, rakes belong in the trap. Golf is a wonderful game that allows us to be outside and take advantage of the beautiful
weather we have here at The Landings all winter long. Please help us keep this course beautiful and playable.
Remember that golf has etiquette rules for play, including proper attire. Dress code is addressed in the Green Book as Rule 14.9: Dress must be in good taste and designed for golf.
14.9.1 Only golf shoes with soft spikes or flat-soled shoes may be worn.
14.9.2 Tank tops, tee shirts, cutoff, sweatshirts or sweatpants, blue jeans or other denim, bathing suits, athletic shorts, cargo shorts or pants, gym apparel or tennis shorts are not permitted.
14.9.3 Men and women are required to wear a shirt with a traditional golf shirt collar, a low-profile collar or a mock turtleneck measuring 1 1⁄2 inches in height with appropriate logos (no advertising) are acceptable.
14.9.4 Ladies may wear sleeveless shirts if they have a collar.
14.9.5 The length of all shorts, skirts and dresses must fall below the wearer’s fingertips.
Please make sure you and your guests are aware of our dress code.
