CONNECTICUT GOLF CLUB UPDATE  - April 2,2020

The CGC Board of Governors continues to evaluate the operation of our club to assure safe conditions for our members and staff during the Covid-19 crisis. Please read this email carefully as we have made some changes that are in effect for the month of April. We will continue to monitor the situation and make further changes as necessary.

As of Friday, April 3^rd, the course will be open for play at 9am.  All play must start on the 1^st tee with no play off the 10^th tee or any other tee until 10:30am.

Golf carts will be available for single riders only with the exception of immediate family members (definition below). Sanitized carts will be located in the bay by the 1st tee. A cleaning protocol is in place for the sanitization of the golf carts. This protocol includes protective attire for our staff, the use of a steam cleaner and disinfectant. All golf carts must be returned to the cart barn by 7pm.

There will not be enough carts for all golfers on busy days due to single ridership. It is STRONGLY recommended that our members walk the golf course if you are able to do so.  Please limit the cart use to 18 holes and at the end of your round bring your clubs to your car and return the cart to the cart barn. Only touch carts that are in the bay or delivered to you by a staff member. Your patience and understanding will be appreciated when golf carts are not available.

Other key information:

• Members are responsible to pick up carts and load/unload your own clubs.
• The clubhouse, locker room and pro shop are closed.
• Golf lessons are postponed until further notice.
• There are no water coolers on the golf course. Bring your own water.
• No accompanied or unaccompanied guests will be permitted on the golf course at this time.

Do not come to the golf club if you are not feeling well. Practice social distancing at all times when on the premises. Do not handle or touch anyone’s golf equipment.

After completing your round, return your golf cart to the cart barn, proceed to your car and leave the premises. Socializing on the patio or parking lot is prohibited at this time.
