Hi I'm looking for a good example of a rules and general etiquette sign to put up on a course that our club is working on. This would go in between the parking lot and hole 1. I want to stress the importance of leaving the course as you found it and no littering. I'm hoping that someone here on this forum would have a good example of this sign that is posted somewhere else. Please let me know what you have seen / what works etc. Thanks!
-Scott

If you are going to make one I'd suggest including allowing faster groups to play through.

one thing that would be nice for the people i play with would be a gentle reminder that says "please dont punch me" on each teesign for when my idiot friends clown their drive

Dog Leg == Mando? I can see a Mando creating a Dog Leg, but I've never heard it referenced that way before ...

That sign is nice, but I'll bet dollars to donuts nobody reads it.

Prolly what you want is a sign that says: "DON'T BE A DICK! PICK UP YOUR TRASH!" or something like that. You know, something subtle - make them think for a minute before they realize what you're really trying to say ...

That was exactly my thought. Big old wall o'text. Might as well just paint the sign card black.

You've gotta condense the info down to a few bullet points that people can read from 10' away AS they walk by. If they have to stop, they'll never read it. Think "highway sign".

Save the wall o'text for the back of the score card or other course literature where people can read it when they are at home on the couch.

there is a sign at wildcat that basically says "watch for flying discs, take in what you bring in", it's probably the best course in iowa though just because of the respect it gets from players and the devotion from volunteers and people that built the course like Bitchin and the crew

Flies to the left,
Thanks that is the type of sign I was looking for. I might add one more line there: "cigarette butts ARE litter".

I think these signs should have more etiquette information on them rather then rules. How to play with respect in dignity is more important than learning the actual rules. But then again, you can't teach someone to have respect for others, either they do or they don't.
