PARKING ETIQUETTE                                            

Parking spaces in and around the Oakwood Clubhouse are limited. To make the best use of these spaces, we all have to be aware of how we park our vehicles, whether they be golf carts, vans, cars or trucks. Many spaces are lined for both golf carts and cars. If you are in a golf cart, you are to park between the two, narrow lines making sure there is enough space for another cart to park next to you. If you are in a car, you park between the two widest lines. Most importantly, whatever type of vehicle you are in, stay between the appropriate lines and make sure you are parked straight.

Rake Placement in Bunkers          

Ever have your ball roll into a trap only to find that your ball has rolled into the sand and against a rake placed parallel to the edge of the bunker? Your shot out of the bunker probably got harder because it is too close to the grass edge. To help minimize this issue, we ask that our golfers simply lay the rake in the sand near the edge, perpendicular to that edge ( 90 degrees to the grass). This should allow the ball to roll deeper into the bunker allowing an easier shot out of the bunker.

If the ball is caught between the rake and the bunker edge, and moving the rake causes the ball to move, you must replace the ball. Placing the rake perpendicular to the edge will help in avoiding this problem. A stroke penalty may occur if the ball is not replaced.   

Over the past couple of weeks we have noticed that our range ball supply has diminished substantially. At the beginning of the season, we had enough range balls to fill up the ball bin, with extras to spare. This past week we barely had enough to fill the bin to three quarters full.This means we are missing close to 2500 yellow practice balls. The balls and wire baskets are leaving the range area. Please refrain from taking practice balls and /or wire baskets with you if you haven't finished your bucket.

If you have at least a half bucket left, bring it to the Proshop, and you will receive a free token for your next bucket. The range balls and buckets represent a substantial investment of funds from the Golf Operations Budget.  As such, practice balls and buckets are the property of the HOA and Golf Operations, and should not be removed from the practice facility. This prevents golfers from having enough balls available to have an effective practice session and requires additional "rolling pick-ups" by our range staff.
