Those changes can be viewed at the CGA website Members are expected to know the rules and abide by them. Rule books are available in the Pro Shop.

Handicaps All members must have an official handicap to play in the first weekend tournament. New members need (10), 18 hole scores, which do not have to be Springhill scores (any course) to establish a C.G.A. handicap. The ten scores can be entered on the membership application or you can accumulate all ten score cards and turn them into Eric Hermanson or Dick Dierker who will establish your C.G.A. handicap for you. Do not place them in the mailbox. The Tournament Handicap Review Committee will be Johnathon Z and two other board members They will review handicaps and adjust as deemed necessary. Please call the handicap chairman or president with questions. Pace of Play Please be prepared to play ready golf to the green. Whoever is ready, hits first; regardless of whom is away. Once on the green you can use normal golf etiquette. Pace of play must be a high priority for all of us. Penalties may be applied for SLOW PLAY. KEEP PACE WITH THE GROUP IN FRONT OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2
