Some reminders
Some reminders as we start our year of play on Jan 18 at Providence:
- Play ready golf!
- There is no “honor” system. If you are ready to play, and it is safe to play, PLAY
- As your playing partners are playing their shot, consider what shot you will play and pull the appropriate club from your bag
- If one of your playing partners is looking for their ball, play your ball, then help him look for his
- If the group behind you is waiting to hit their shot, get in the cart and drive to your next shot before cleaning and placing the club you used in your bag
- Write your scores on your scorecard at the next tee
- If your next hit of the ball would result in a double bogey, pick up your ball
- Except for the green and a bunker, you may lift, clean, and place your ball one club length no closer to the hole anywhere within the boundaries of the course. However, it MUST remain in the same environment (fairway, 1st cut, 2nd cut, etc.)
- On the green you may mark, lift, clean and place your ball where it lay.
- For a score to count the ball MUST be holed. There are no "gimmes"
Our rules are ae very tolerant and, if followed, should lead to speedier play. The rules may be found at SGAA Rules
Most important - HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!
See you at the course
AS WE APPROACH THE NEW YEAR
Little Ocmulgee Out of Town
As we start to loosen our body to start our 66th year of golfing at Providence on Jan. 18th, why don't you start planning for our first out of town event at Little Ocmulgee in April? The course is set in Southeast Georgia - just a three hour drive to play on a peaceful, yet challenging course. The classic 18-hole course is surrounded by loblolly pines, willows, and magnolias, in the secluded setting of Little Ocmulgee State Park & Lodge

USE THE RULES
If your ball lands in a crossing water hazard, remember that you can go back as far as you want to hit your next shot. Too often, players drop their balls near the hazard and have a difficult shot from the rough or a difficult distance to navigate. Go back to where you will get a good lie and are able to have a good shot to the pin. If the hazard is lateral hazard, you do not have this option.
