Divots Bottles for Walkers

As you might have seen in a recent email blast we are going to implement a new program for walking members.  Divots bottles to use during your round.  We have been experimenting with various bottles, shapes, sizes and styles.  In conjunction we have had to work on the type of sand mix that will flow freely from these devices.  We also hoped to be able to use this bottle to fill 4-8 divots between refills

Well, we have settled on a 20 oz gatorade bottle that fits nicely into most modern carry bags pouch for water bottle storage.  The gatorade bottles also offer a wide mouth, easy turn cap and most importantly, inexpensive to purchase.

We will roll out this program on opening day April 5th.  The bottles will be offered at the pro shop to begin.  We will have bottle replacements at all the current water bottle stations at tees 6,9,12,16.  As with most programs we will review the operation after a few weeks to see what additional tweaks need to be made.  The grounds staff will replace the bottles with fresh mix in the mornings and the pro shop staff will check the course for needs during the afternoon hours.

New lids on the water bottle stations will now read  Water  and Divot Bottles.  I don't recommend you drink the green sand.  Empty bottles can be placed into the same container and will be picked up for refill later.  Always remember, replacing your divot is the best way to help the course.
