Glen Eagle Golf Guide


 

1. Underlying principles
   1. Enjoy the game of golf.
   2. Participating in protecting golf course conditions. Remember, this is YOUR course, so treat it as such.
   3. Enhancing pace of play for all members.
   4. Play according to the rules of golf.
2. Dress Code
   1. Please be aware that there is a dress code discussed in detail on the Glen Eagle web site. Log in, click Sports/Activities, then click Golf Info.
3. Driving golf carts
   1. 90-degree rule
      1. Drive carts from the tee, following the cart path until you reach your ball, then take a 90 degree turn to your ball. Exit the fairway in the same manner.
      2. This is not only a wet course condition practice; it is an everyday practice Why? Wear and tear of our fairways and rough. During season heavy cart traffic compounds the soil and can damage the turf

1. GPS System
   1. Our carts are equipped with a GPS system to help you track your location and distances on the course.  Geofences areas are mapped out, allowing the GPS system to issue a warning when they are crossed. As you approach greens, notice there will be a dotted line that surrounds it. If you cross that line, the cart will issue an alert sound, and stop. Your only recourse is to put the cart in reverse, and back your way out of the geofence area. This is in place to protect our greens and the area around them. 
   2. Under certain circumstances, the pro shop can turn this feature off for handicapped individuals upon request. However, please respect the areas around our greens and stay at least 30 feet away from the putting surface with the cart, and do not drive on tee areas.
   3. When traveling between the from and back nine, please obey all stop signs and road crossings.  Remember that cars have the right of way.  You should only drive carts on Glen Eagle Blvd. and Weston Way.

2. Repairing your divots
   1. Divot filling mix is provided on all carts. Walkers should always take a bottle with them. 
   2. Tee areas
      1. You don’t need to repair divot on tee boxes as our golf maintenance staff does this.
   3. Fairways and rough
      1. The preferred height of the fill is below the level of the grass turf, so that the mowers we use don’t get the blades damaged and become dull.
      2. When walking away from the cart for your shot, bring a filled bottle, both to make repairs easier, and to help with pace of play.
3. Repairing Ball Marks
   1. On the green
      1. When on the green, look for your ball mark first (if you made one), before marking your ball or considering yourself with your upcoming putt. Ideally, while you’re at it, find and fix another one, or two. Tomorrow you may be putting over one of those!
         1. For a beautiful explanation of the best way to repair ball marks, click on this link to a USGA video:
            1. (9) Fore The Golfer: How to Repair Ball Marks - YouTube
   2. Around the green and on the fringe
      1. The rules of golf state that you can’t repair ball marks in front of you when you’re off the green but do fix as many as you see that are either not in your line to the hole, or after your chip shot.
         1. The best way to repair these is to tamp them down with a putter or other club until they are level with the surrounding turf.
4. Sand Traps
   1. Always rake your footprints, and any others you see in the sand. The trap should look perfectly smooth when you leave it, which is hopefully the way you found it.
   2. We leave rakes INSIDE the sand traps, not out on the grass.
   3. When placing rakes in the trap, always position it so that it is least likely to interfere with an incoming shot.
      1. The handle of the rake should point back at the direction that approach shots would typically come from, usually (but not always) back at the tee. The head of the rake should be farthest away from the front of the trap. 
      2. After leaving a sand trap and before walking on the green, lightly tap your shoes with a club to knock the sand off them rather than the sand ending up all over the putting surface.
5. Pace of play!
   1. Write down your scores on the next tee, not when you leave the green.
   2. Always strive to keep up with the group in front of you. When you see gaps between your group and those that started just before you, action needs to be taken so that you can close this gap. Be aware!
   3. On hole #4, always pull your cart “around the corner”, especially if you will be going into the Divot so that the group behind you can proceed with their tee shots.
   4. On hole #18, move forward past the green as quickly as possible so as not to make that group behind you wait. Do not begin to put things away or do other “end of your round” activities until you pull WELL forward and are off of the golf course. 
6. Rules of Golf
   1. There is a smart phone app that is free from the USGA where all rules are found.
   2. White stakes signify Out of Bounds, and by the rules of golf, can never be moved, even if your ball is very close to it and may limit your swing. If you must move your ball in order to swing because of a white stake, you must invoke a one stroke penalty for an unplayable lie. The type of grass the ball is resting in is irrelevant to its out of bounds status.
   3. Glen Eagle has adopted a USGA local rule for out of bounds. This option for a ball hit OB is that you take relief from where your ball entered OB, laterally. Find the edge of the fairway, then measure two club lengths and drop your ball on that spot. The penalty for this option is two strokes. Alternatively, you can always return to where the shot was hit, then hit again with a one stroke penalty. If you think that your shot may be OB, it may make sense to announce, then hit a provisional shot rather than driving back to the tee and impacting everyone’s pace of play. If you hit a a provisional ball you may not use the lateral relief rule and must play the provisional if your ball is out of bounds.
   4. The local rule for out of bounds mentioned above also applies to relief for a lost ball.
   5. A local rule for sprinkler heads has been adopted at Glen Eagle. While you can always get free relief from a ball being in a sprinkler, or when it interferes with your stance, a sprinkler being in your target line may or may not be something you can get free relief from. Two conditions must be met (BOTH!): first, the sprinkler head from which you seek relief from must be within two club lengths of the green (measure with any club). Second, your ball must be within two club lengths of the sprinkler in question. If either one of these tests fails, you must play your ball as it lies, or take a one stroke penalty is you want to move it one club length no closer to the hole. If both conditions are a yes, you may drop your ball up to a distance of one club length no closer to the hole.
   6. Penalty Area Rules

                        Penalty area relief is taken according to the rules of golf. Penalty areas may be                                         defined by the following methods:

1. Water- In the case of a water hazard, relief should be taken from the edge of the grass.
2. Red stakes
3. Red stakes with green tops- Signifies protected areas.  Do not play from in this area or enter to look for your ball.
4. Red lines- painted red lines denote the edge of the hazard.

                        If none of these conditions are met, you may not take penalty area relief.

1. Cart Paths
   1. Free relief is allowed from a cement cart path.
   2. Coquina cart paths are considered an integral part of the course.  Play the ball where it lies or take a one stroke penalty to remove it from the path.

Walking Rules
1. Unless directed otherwise, all play starts on #1 as soon as the afternoon crossover is done.
2. Times will be established by the Head Golf Pro when the use of an electric cart is not mandatory.  
3. When using a pull cart, it must remain at least 30-feet off the putting surface, tees and bunkers or on the cart path.
4. Walkers are advised that they must properly care for the golf course by carrying a container of sand to fill the divots.

The basic elements of Ready-Golf are as follows and are recommended for use when safe to do so:

1. On the tee: The player who is ready should hit; shorter hitters should hit first.
2. Tee to green: Take appropriate clubs when approaching your ball; be ready to hit when it is your turn.
3. On the green: Do not wait to determine your putting line of roll. Be ready to putt when it is your turn. Continue putting until holed out.
4. Short cut: Mark your score on the way to the next tee; when driving a cart, drop your partner at their ball and then continue to yours. Be conscious of the 3-minute lost ball rule.

1. Unless directed otherwise, all play starts on #1 as soon as the afternoon crossover is done.
