Use Caution in Parking Lot
It’s Tuesday morning. Maybe you woke up late, then hit every red light and now you are in the parking lot, but still in a hurry to make it to Check-in so you don’t get the 2-stroke penalty for being late. Thinking about something from last night? Wondering who you will be playing with today? Did I bring quarters for the pots? Yikes! I almost hit a fellow golfer walking towards the Pro Shop!
There is a lot of activity going on in our parking lot. Cars, carts, delivery trucks and pedestrians, all moving in different directions.
Be aware. Watch for pedestrians. Use caution.
