At Lady Links we like to have fun! Remember to be curtious of your fellow players. 

Pairings
In general, you will be placed in a pairing or group of four players, based upon when you reserved your spot. The first four responders make up the first group, and so on. If you wish to play with a specific golfer, or to reserve a specific foursome, you may RSVP for any or all of them. *Please make foursome reservations with firm commitments from all players. 

Lady Links Courtesies
Skill Levels – As mentioned, ours is a game of fun. Members of all skill levels are welcomed and, indeed, the group includes all handicaps of players. We do not, however, keep a handicapping system, nor do we pair players according to skill. Instead we recognize that everyone begins the game at some time, and hope to provide support and encouragement to all players as they develop their individual games. 

Slow play
No matter what skill level a member may possess, and no matter how diligently one may be working on improving their play, slow play will not be tolerated. Keep the game moving. For example, no one wants to wait through half a dozen practice swings and endless aiming, lining up, checking stances, grips, etc. on each shot. Likewise, it doesn’t matter how many strokes it takes to get from tee to green and in the hole, just keep moving forward. Be aware of groups ahead and behind you, and pace your play. It makes for an enjoyable round. (TIPS: Mark your scorecards at the upcoming tee box, always pick up your ball if you’re going to shoot one over double par) 

Civility
Again, we play the game for fun. There’s no place in our events for lost tempers and associated words or actions. We ask that there be no swearing, club throwing, or other obnoxious behavior. Think positive! 

Etiquette
Just a few things to mention here: Please show up 20-25 minutes prior to your tee time. Please keep your voices low around the tee box area as players are concentrating on their big hits. Shirts with collars are encouraged. Try not to walk across the line of a player on the putting green. Stay positive and have a good time!
