GOLF ETIQUETTE:
Proper Golf Attire

Golf was originally developed as a “gentleman’s” game, and as such golf clothing reflects the civilized rules of this gentleman’s game. Each golf course may have its own rules and regulations regarding appropriate golf attire, so it’s always best to check first.

In most cases, however, golfers and caddies usually abide by an industry standard that includes slacks, a collared shirt and golf shoes for men, and slacks or knee-length skirt or shorts, collared shirt and golf shoes for women. At virtually all courses, prohibited items of attire include short-shorts, swimwear, denim of any type, t-shirts and tank tops.

Did you know…
In the 1800 and early 1900s, tartan patterns were the style of the day on the course! Even in the 1970s tartan was held in high esteem (think Caddyshack…)

The Toronto Golf & Travel Show gave those who attended a tease for the season ahead and we were delighted to see so many friendly faces at the show. There are some definite trends in golf this year, and it seems much of the buzz is about playing “trails” in the province of Ontario.

We’re delighted to be part of the Headwaters Golf Trail again this year, and encourage you to join the Trail for a chance to win some great prizes, including a 2008 Headwaters Golf Trail season pass! If you and your friends are interested in completing the Trail in one fell-swoop, we’ve partnered with the Millcroft Inn & Spa and the new Best Western Inn & Suites in Orangeville on some great accommodation packages.

As the snow melts from the fairways and greens, we look forward to seeing you at the Club very soon!

Golf Trivia

Natural objects which can be easily moved are known as impediments, but natural objects such as trees or bushes are considered hazards and must either be played around or a penalty must be taken.

You are the sole judge of whether your ball is unplayable, and it is up to you whether you try to play or accept a penalty.

Everyone has a different opinion of golf: Mark Twain referred to golf as a way of spoiling a good walk!

The rubber-core golf ball was invented by Coburn Haskell in 1901.

A “mashie” was a wooden-shafted, pre- 20th century club, that most resembles today’s 5-iron.
