Please come out and support the Crusader Golf Team. If you are interested in meeting some of
the players and becoming part of Crusader Nation, there is a College Amateur event on Friday,

and someone else’s
SHOW YOUR CANEBRAKE PRIDE AND
KEEP “YOUR” GREENS IN GREAT SHAPE.
Remember to always pull the turf from
the back of the ball mark over to the front.
This will allow the turf to heal within 24 to
48 hours. Conversely, if you were to leave
the ballmark alone or use the prongs of
your ballmark repair tool to push up the
dirt under the ballmark it will take 7 to 10
days to recover. If you have any questions
as to how to repair a ballmark please ask
in the Pro Shop.
