News from the Greens:

· Areas outlined in white and bunkers where there are irrigation washouts, please treat as ground under repair (GUR). You may lift, clean, and place your ball alongside bunkers, and outside of marked areas, no closer to the hole.

· The recent rains are helping the courses during this transition period and also help conserve our water allocation as regulated by the AZ Dept of Water Resources.

· Do you know that the published Standards for both MV and TP are on the Green Committee web site and are placed in a binder located behind the desk at the Pro Shops? Cliff Sansot chaired a group from the Green Committee and worked with RCI for many months finalizing these documents. Check them out.
