90 Degree Cart Rule
 
Cart traffic can be a significant contributor to poor turf conditions and tight lies, especially during the cooler winter months when the grass is dormant. This is why adhering to the 90 degree cart rule is so important. By correctly using the 90 degree rule, cart traffic can be reduced which will allow the turf, especially in the fairways, to improve and reduce the amount of tight lies that are seen.

Please Click Here to view a diagram of how to correctly follow the 90 degree cart rule. Golfer cooperation is very much appreciated!

2018 Association Sweeps

In 2018, any association member, which includes the MGA, WGA-9, WGA-18, and CGA, will receive a 10% discount on merchandise purchased with sweeps year round rather than just during the sales periods. In addition to this, sweeps can be used towards Non-Resident Guest Green Fees at the non-resident guest rate. The goal will be to help drive participation through these added benefits from accumulating sweeps so make sure you’ve paid your association dues! Please remember, that the 10% discount cannot be applied with other discount coupons or on sales items.
