The Town of Southborough golf committee agreed on a short line of etiquette to add to the club scorecard and requested a historical date change on the card.

Committee members agreed on the suggested wording: “Please be respectful of our neighbors, staff, and fellow golfers.” The committee asked the chair to pass that phrase to Bill Harrison, the course management contact, so it can be added to the scorecard’s local-rules area or presented as a prominent single line. Members discussed keeping the wording short so golfers will see it at a glance.

Separately, the committee agreed to change the scorecard’s historical notation to read that the course was established in 1896; members said that replaces an inaccurate or confusing attribution that currently appears on the card. The change was presented as a straightforward edit and the committee did not anticipate objection.

The committee also noted HGA (an outside designer/consultant referenced in discussion) could review alternative phrasing, but the immediate next step is for the chair to forward the agreed language to Bill Harrison for implementation.
