WET AND VERY SOFT 

FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME!!!

When you next play:

DO:  

KEEP ALL 4 WHEELS ON THE CART PATH---ALWAYS!

(If you must park along the fairway prior to arriving at the green, park adjacent to the fairway side of the path (ON THE PATH) to provide room for your partners to pass on (ON THE PATH) on the side away from the fairway.

DON'T: 

    - CUT CORNERS IN THE ZIGS AND ZAGS OF THE CART PATH

    - DON'T PASS PARKED CARTS BY TURNING ONTO THE COURSE

    - DON'T PARK OFF THE PATHS AT TEE BOXES & GREENS.

"RULES & HANDICAP CHATTER" FROM THE FLCC R&H COMMITTEE

 PENALTY AREA PLAY (R&H #21-1)

Welcome to your Rules and Handicap Committee's first installment  of "Chatter" about rules, interpretations, and "what do I do if...?"  These presentations will hopefully be a training aide and refresher for all Fawn Lake Golf Members.  The R&H Committee solicits your questions about or recommendations for specific rulings for situations you may have encountered or wondered about here at Fawn Lake.  If appropriate, your input may end up being explained and presented like the one to follow.  In any case, the R&H folks will get back to you with an answer to your query.

                                        You can email to: RulesandHandicap@fawnlakecc.com                                                                                  

Relax, read, and learn from R&H #21-1 regarding Penalty Area Play .  Click the link below:
