Itinerary:

The Kettle Creek course at Cardinal Golf Club is a short 18 hole course. It's only 2590 yards, has 4 holes that are par 4's with the rest being par 3's, making it an ideal venue for beginner level players as well as experienced golfers looking to work on their short game.

While the coordinator is not a certified teaching professional, I can provide basic instruction on club grip, golf stance, swing mechanics, putting, chipping, and golf etiquette.

The plan is to meet at Cardinal Golf Club's driving range at 11:00 AM, to loosen up, and to provide some pointers for those who want them.

Around 11:50, we drive down to the Kettle Creek course to check in for our tee time. We expect the event duration (from driving range to end of game) to be approximately 6 hours, finishing sometime between 5:30 and 6:00 PM.

Afterwards, we can just sit on the patio and have a beer, or can head to a suitable watering hole for some post game refreshments, however the group feels.

There won't be a formal carpool for this event as the last time we played here, everyone found it easier to meet at the Golf Course, but we will work with those people who don't have a car to arrange rides for them.

Notes:

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU NEED RENTAL CLUBS be sure to say so in the notes when you sign up so that enough sets can be reserved for the TOC group, and make your payment of $15 to the treasurer before the payment deadline. The coordinator will NOT accept direct payment.

Golf Game Rules:
In order to ensure that everyone keeps a good pace of play during our 18-hole game, we will use the following guidelines:

We will play the best ball off the tee for each hole. Players may elect to play their second shot from the spot of the best drive.
We will also institute a maximum score of double par for each hole, so players who reach the maximum score prior to reaching the green will be allowed to move their ball to any spot on the green to putt.
Other specific golf game etiquette rules such as taking drops, hazard relief, lift & clean, etc. will be discussed during the round.

- We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines at all times while participating in TOC events.
- Details of this event are subject to undergo a change at any point in time, with or without warning.
