Small Things Can Make a Big Difference!

There are many small things golfers can do to help Kinston Country Club play and
look better and in the process, free up the maintenance staff for more essential work.
These things include:

~Picking up broken tees - this helps prevent damage to costly mower reels.
~Not overfilling trash containers.
~Replacing a sign or rope stake that has been knocked down - this helps keep the 
     course looking neat and helps prevent damage.
~Lose the herd mentality when driving your cart – avoid following the same path
     of the carts before you.
~Avoid taking divots on your practice swings.
~Chip to the chipping green - not the practice green.
~When practicing putting, avoid standing in just one place.
~Put rakes back inside the bunkers.                                                                       

When you play a round of golf, strive be an outstanding golfer. Instead of damaging
the golf course, improve it in the process of enjoying your golf game! Leave the golf
course better than you found it! It really is so easy!

Thanks!
