While playing the course, you may notice that some of our smaller trees have their bases wrapped with white covers. These trees and slightly larger trees also have a green or orange ribbon tied to them. Both of these measures are in place to help protect the trees while they are small to ensure that they grow as normal and healthy as possible. If you encounter one of these trees during the course of your round please remember that you get free relief so as not to hit the tree with your swing. 
A few other things to remember while on the golf course; first, repair all divots. Please take the time to retrive and replace any divots that you take. Even if the divot breaks into several pieces, replace what you can because it will greatly reduce the amount of time needed to recover. Second, please remember to repair all ball marks on the greens. Repairing your ball mark and any others that you see will help ensure your putts roll as smooth as possible. To properly fix a ball mark, insert the repair tool along the edge of the indentation and push the sides in towards the middle. Then lightly step down or use your putter to smooth the mark. Do not push up the bottom of the indentation as this will tear the roots. Finally, please rake all footprints after playing from the bunker. To help us better maintain bunker faces, please enter and exit from the back side of the bunker where it is more flat. In addition, bunker rakes should be left at these flatter locations to help the next player and should be left outside the bunker.
Remembering to do these tasks during your round will help keep the course in the best possible condition and will make your round, and those playing after you, more enjoyable.
