“Please repair your Pitch Mark” Dear Player, Congratulations on hitting the green! As you prepare to hole your putt, as a courtesy to the golfers behind you and the course itself please take the time to fix your pitch mark and one other.

Always remember, if your shot hits the green on the fly, there will be some damage. Find it, repair it, then look for and repair at least one other that someone else missed. If you notice any ball mark on the green that needs fixing, PLEASE fix it.

The Middleton Bar located just 30 yards from the 8th green is the perfect place to stop and stock-up on refreshments to keep your energy high and scores low!

Please be aware of the pace of play. It is good etiquette to let the group behind through if you have lost ground with the golfers ahead
