90 Degree Rule

Folks,

 The golf course is drying out big time. next time your out playing take a look around and notice all the tire tracks through out the course. that's from driving through areas that are smoking and burning up. Think about this, how many times do you drive the cart just past the ladies tee box and turn the cart towards your golf ball? Exactly what degree is that you are traveling to the ball---120 degrees?
 There are a number of courses around town considering to restricting golf carts to cart paths only until some rain begins to fall. This helps in eleiminating turf damage and/or kill from golf cart tires.

 I would like to propose to the membership;

Let's follow the 90 degree rule

 Lets help the golf course out by practicing the 90 degree rule! Simply travel down the cart path till you come to where you and your partner hit your shot and then 90 degree out to the ball. After your shots are hit 90 degree back to the cart path. I realize you and your partner are not going to be side by side every shot, if your not picture how you can get to the first shot as quickly from the cart path then to the second shot and then return to the cart path.

Here's your benefits:

  * Less compaction along the cart path--leads to better quality turf!

  * Fewer cart tracks--leads to better quality turf!

  * Improves the condition of the golf course--which leads to better quality turf!

  * When you see an area that is dry-drive around it--which leads to a better quality turf!

Let's follow the 90 degree rule
