  GOLF TIPS FROM THE PRESIDENT

• Golf etiquette requires you to rake the sand before exiting a bunker.  A sand trap or bunker should be left exactly as you found it.  The same goes for greens and fairways.  Divots should always be replaced and ball marks repaired.  If you respect the course, then you respect the game; and if you respect the game, chances are you’ll play better too.

   

  Barkie.  Also known as a woodie, a barke is a distinction earned by hitting a tree with a ball and then making par anyway.  For the barkie to count, the ball must actual strike wood.  Just brushing through the leaves on the way to the fairway or the short rough is not sufficient.  Some misinformed golfers are under the impression that striking a dog or coyote with the ball en route to a par will earn them a barkie, but not so.
