Golf requires attention to etiquette I t’s a rarity to make a tee time at Alpine Meadows. It’s a perk golfers fi nd enjoy- able after playing an out-of-town course. Most golf courses require a tee time, espe- cially in more highly populated urban areas. This is how it works. Let’s say your tee time is 10:05 a.m., then at 10:05 a.m. you’d better be on the tee box ready to golf, other- wise you may lose your turn or have to wait for an opening. A busy course will set tee times in inter- vals on an average of 7 to 15 minutes to keep a steady fl ow of golfers. That means there is always a foursome behind your group push- ing you. Some courses have a marshal who drives the fairways, encouraging slower golf- ers to move along. For higher handicappers, the pressure of “ready play” can be a pain in the-you-know-what. Instead of enjoying the game, you wind up in a big hurry conse- quently hitting poor shots. Not to say that golfers should not visit SEE PAGE 18A it. Rochelle Danielson other courses. Players of the game should learn to branch out: Practice golf rules, play effi ciently (not necessarily fast), never fret about playing with strangers, talk less and don’t whine while playing (well, maybe on Ladies Day Tuesday). Golfers need to keep a steady pace, be courteous and if possible, let the team behind go on through. Golf etiquette is a must on any course. If learned on our hometown course, members and guests should feel more comfortable visit- ing other golf facilities. Alpine Meadows is an exceptional and special place. Visitors marvel at its beauty and well- maintained landscape. Let’s all respect Ladies Wine-Down Thursdays scram- ble net-score winners this week: Carol Marr and Rochelle Danielson, 24.5.
