What social distancing guidelines are Blue Mash Golf Course enforcing?

The guidelines are based upon recommendations from local, state, federal governments, and the PGA Back2Golf phasing. Due to the fluid situation, these guidelines may change and a final set of guidelines may be created for this event as we get closer. Masks must be worn in the clubhouse/restrooms where the number of people allowed to enter at the same time is kept to a minimum. The veranda is closed for outings due to social distancing requirements.

What precautions are Blue Mash Golf Course Staff Members taking?

Staff members are required to: wear a face covering in any public areas and inside the Club House; maintain (6) feet away from other staff and guests as much as possible; wear gloves while handling food and beverage.

Do I need to sign a waiver?

Yes, CoreNet Global requires all Chapter members and non-members attending in-person events sign a health waiver. The waiver will be sent via email directly to golfers upon registration. If a player does not submit a completed waiver, they will be prohibited from attending. 

Is the tournament this year going to be a Shotgun start with multiple groups on a tee?  If so, what precautions are to be taken with multiple groups on a tee?

Yes, there will be a shotgun start.  There will be an A group on the tee and B group on the tee.  We ask that Group B hang back at least 6 feet from the A Group until they leave the tee. The same practice should be applied throughout the round if there are multiple groups on a tee box at the same time.

During play, what precautions should players take?

Please keep 6 feet distance on the teeing area and the putting green as players will be in the closest proximity to the other players.

Do I have the choice to walk if I prefer to not ride in the cart?

Absolutely! Players who are comfortable walking and carrying their own clubs, please do so. You can also use the golf cart as a “caddy” to transport your golf bag while you walk to your ball.

Can I request a cart to utilize for myself?

Yes, however there are only a certain number of carts that Blue Mash is providing.  If you prefer your own cart, please let the special events committee know as soon as possible, so that we can accommodate.

During play, what are some changes/precautions that Blue Mash Golf Course have taken?

High touchpoint surfaces in the Club House including restrooms, door handles, dining tables and counters are being disinfected.

Will we be able to have a meal and awards reception?
