Courtesy & Safety on the Golf Course

An average golf ball leaves the tee traveling 115 mph or more, and our path to CYC takes us right in front of the first tee. ADULTS & CHILDREN NEED TO TAKE CARE AS THEY CROSS IN FRONT.  

  • Eastward Ho! has provided a fence to protect us. 
  • CYC members should STOP at the edge of the fence, LOOK and ASSESS the situation. 
  • Always wait while golfers are teeing off, but if the golfers are waiting, they may signal it is safe to cross.
  • Be aware as you approach the ninth green as well, since it is just beyond our path.

Eastward Ho! and CYC have a great working relationship, but it depends on CYC members being courteous to and respectful of the golfers.  Please wear shirts and shoes when crossing the hill, and do not use your cell phone.  It is best to be quiet when golfers are on the 9th green.  You may stop and wait, or move quietly by, but try not to distract those focusing on their putts.
