Hi, I’m Rich Carr from Meadia Heights Gold Club in Lancaster, PA on behalf of Expert Village. I’m going to show you some of the things we do when we get to the teeing ground today. I’ve just played a hole and I’m getting ready to tee the ball up and play the next hole. I see there are some people out there, about 170 yards away. I know that I can hit the ball 250 yards so I’m going to have to wait until they clear that area and then maybe add 10 or 20 yards just in case I really hit one. So I’m going to wait for them to finish up and then I’m going to go ahead and hit my tee shot. This is a very important part or piece of etiquette for the gold course. You certainly wouldn’t want the group behind you to hit a ball into you. It can be a very dangerous situation and someone could get seriously injured. Looks like they’re clear now, so I’m going to go ahead and hit one.
