From the editor
Pull up a chair.
Golf has never been bigger, and the muni is where most of us play it. This is the clubhouse for the silent army: good company, good taste, and a standard worth meeting.

Local rules
Four rules. That is the whole book.
Every course posts a few local rules. Ours fit on a scorecard, and nobody checks your handicap at the door.
1
Dress well.
Collared, tucked and clean shoes. It is an easy way to show you care about the game.
2
Stay cool.
Keep it light. Everyone has a bad hole, and nobody is here to impress anyone.
3
Respect the game and each other.
Fix your divots, keep pace, and be kind to the group behind you.
4
Have fun.
Buy a round, share the story, and make the new player feel expected.
The warmth of the great Southern clubs, brought to the muni.
