2 nd ANNUAL LADIES MEMBER - GUEST GOLF TOURNAMENT 28 & 29 June 2022
As record levels of play continue at our two courses, here are 10 things to take into account to improve the golf experience for you and your fellow members: 1. The Fairfax course will be back to a full 27 holes in mid-April with the completion of the fairway conversion to bentgrass. It is imperative that we all diligently replace our divots and use sand to even out the area. The bentgrass divot will re-root itself within a day or so. 2. At Arlington, DO NOT replace the Bermuda fairway divots, use sand to fill the divot. The Bermuda grass grows laterally and will quickly repair its own divot. 3. When preparing to play from a bunker, always enter it from the low side. How you rake the bunker depends on which course you’re playing: - At Arlington, rake and then smooth out the surface with the rounded side of the rake. - At Fairfax, rake with the tine side down as you normally would. At both courses, leave rakes outside the bunker. 4. All golfers MUST check in with the pro shop before play. This includes ALL dew sweepers. Please keep your current ANCC bag tag visible when on the course and the range. 5. Be mindful that every Monday, one of the nine-hole courses at each campus is closed for maintenance. Play is prohibited on that nine during that time. In addition, the practice facilities at both Arlington and Fairfax open no later than noon on Mondays, and 8:00 AM on Thursdays at Arlington. Practice facilities close at dusk; however, the Arlington practice facility closes two hours before dusk on Sundays and Wednesdays. 6. If you cannot make your tee time, please cancel at least one day in advance when possible. If you cancel on your scheduled day of play, call the pro shop as soon as you can. 7. Proper golf attire is required on the course and on the range. For gentlemen, collared shirts will be tucked into shorts or trousers and caps must be worn with bills face-forward. For ladies, there is no requirement for blouses to be tucked, but bare midriffs should not be visible before, during or after a swing. 8. Golf caps and visors are not allowed for men or women in either clubhouse except when ordering in Stars & Stripes. At Arlington, golf shoes are not allowed on the second and third floors of the clubhouse. 9. Please remain vigilant regarding pace of play by keeping up with the group in front of you. The goal is to complete 18 holes in 4 hours. Save time at the turn by calling ahead to order from Stars & Stripes (571-482-5983) when you’re making the turn. 10. Sand, Sand, Sand! Our fairways LOVE sand, so please be diligent about filling divots whenever possible. The Club has bought some smaller sand bottles for walkers that can be refilled on the course. Ask for one when you check in. Those in carts should consider taking 3 or 4 full-sized sand bottles with them to use and refill at the sand refilling stations located throughout the courses. 10 Things To Know as the Golf Season Gets Underway

Its super easy and only takes a couple of minutes! Not Receiving Golf Updates? Are Your Clubs Ready for the Golf Season? When was the last time you had your clubs re-gripped? Eighteen months is the absolute maximum you should wait to change your grips because slick or worn grips can have a negative impact on your game, like driving on worn tires. Maintaining proper grip pressure is essential in making a smooth swing, but worn grips require tighter grip pressure which inhibits the swing. Worn grips are especially slippery in wet conditions. Degradation is gradual, so you may not even realize how worn they have gotten. Stop by either Golf Shop for more information or to have one of the Golf Professionals take look at your grips.
