Following a very successful program for the past 2 years, we’re looking for some fellow golfers (and golf groups) to join us this year in helping to keep our ANCC courses in great condition, despite the 80,000+ rounds per year that we play on them. This is a huge amount of play, and when you play golf, you create divots and ball marks – it’s part of the game. It’s our responsibility as golfers to fix our div- ots and ball marks – and that is part of the etiquette of the game. Please help us. The Golf & Green Committee sponsors the program, which asks volunteers to pay particular attention to repairing ball marks on the greens and divots on the fairways. The groups, couples, and individuals who adopt a hole usually simply pay extra attention to their hole during the play of their normal rounds, encouraging other playing partners to help. It does not take long to sweep a green for ball marks or fill a handful of extra divots as you play. We don’t expect perfection each time, but want to get everyone working towards making the course better. If a member felt his/her hole needs extra attention, he/she would be free to arrange to work on it when his/her activities would not disrupt the pace of play. Last year, we had 100+ volunteers that adopted holes, and the effect on our courses was noticeable. Please help us protect our investment and keep our playing enjoyable. Send an email to anccadoptahole@gmail.com , and we’ll send you the full details.
