•

Do not take undo time to hit a shot, study your shot quickly and play on.

• If walking to your ball from the cart, take multiple clubs to ensure you do not need to return to the cart for a different club. • Limit conversations to the time between shots in the cart and after the round. • If you are struggling on a hole it is ok to pick up, this is a game that is supposed to be fun. MUSIC ONTHE GOLF COURSE Music is allowed on the golf course within the following guidelines; the volume must be kept to a reasonable level so other groups on adjacent holes cannot hear the music. It is the responsibility of the player(s) who would like to listen to music to ask permission from their playing partners, before turning on any music. If any player in the group does not want music to be played, please respect and abide by their wishes. In an effort to maintain traditions of the game, music will not be allowed during all Club Championships. POSTING OF SCORES FOR GOLF ROUNDS The Golf Staff at Glenwild will assist Members in the posting of 9 and 18-hole rounds of golf played home and away. Members are also able to post scores on their own using the terminal in the golf shop or on their USGA app. The World Handicap System allows for a playing conditions calculation that will automatically adjust scores submitted daily based on the playing difficulty of the day. It is important for members to post their scores on the day in which the round was played as all scores posted will contribute to the playing conditions calculation. In the new World Handicap System, you are encouraged to post your scores hole by hole or per 9 holes instead of an 18 hole score. In accordance to USGA rules, scores will not be accepted when a player plays alone. HANDICAPS 1. Handicaps are computed under the supervision of the Golf Shop in accordance with the currentWorld Handicap System. 2.
