Committee to update golf-cart and spectator policies after members flag gaps
Summary
Committee members flagged gaps in the golf cart policy and confusion over on-course spectatorship and liability; staff agreed to draft clearer cart requirements and a spectator policy for the pro shop to use at point-of-sale.
Committee members said the previous golf cart policy had 'holes' around insurance and cart size, and recommended updating the policy so the pro shop can make consistent, defensible decisions. One committee member noted the pro shop should have a clear checklist to point to when evaluating carts and cart users.
Members also raised confusion about spectators—when a non-playing adult or child must pay, whether a child in a stroller counts as a player, and whether spectators should sign liability waivers. Staff (S5) acknowledged the liability questions and agreed to bring proposed policy language back to the committee for review and possible printed guidance at the pro shop.
