In an effort improve pace of play and to improve overall enjoyment of playing at Forest Highlands we would like to encourage all members to follow these Golf Courtesy Guidelines. • Play ready golf when not in tournament competition or when you will not disrupt a fellow players’ shot. • When using a cart the second player should walk to his/her ball with 2-3 clubs to prepare to play once the cart has reached the first players ball. • After your shot, get in cart and clean and bag your clubs at the next stop. • Share distance readings with other players. • Fix ball marks of other players if convenient. • Declare and play a provisional ball if original ball might be out of play. Use only a reasonable amount of time to look for the original ball. • First or second putter should gather and tend the flagstick so all can leave the green together. • If given a putt, pick it up don’t use that as an opportunity to practice. Practice putts should only be taken on a green if there are no players waiting behind your group to play. Practice putting is discouraged if you are not keeping up with the group in front of you. • If you are playing at your comfortable pace and a faster group comes up behind you and there is an open hole between you and the group ahead, let the faster group play through. This will allow you to continue playing without feeling pressured and let the faster group continue on at their more comfortable pace. 5.5 Use of Facilities by Juniors Junior golfers are defined as children 17 years of age and under. Juniors may qualify for unrestricted play by meeting the guidelines established by the Professional Golf staff or making arrangements through the Golf Shop for a player evaluation on proper course etiquette and ball striking ability; otherwise they must be accompanied by an adult.
