Country Club of Lansing Caddie Program 2021 Season The following are some adjustments to the Caddie Program for the 2021 season. The policies below will be in effect until further notice.

The goal of this program is to provide a safe environment for staff and members alike.

SOME RECCOMMNEDED GENERAL SAFTEY MEASURES: • Masks are required by all persons entering the clubhouse and may but are not required outside of the clubhouse. • Any individual with any respiratory illness should stay home until symptoms have resolved- and they are fever-free for 48 hours. • Frequent washing of hands is effective in limiting exposure to this virus. Hand sanitizer will be available in multiple areas around the club. • Public water fountains, and self-serve fountain drinks are not available until further notice. Caddies should bring their own bottled water. • Caddie meals will be provided at the halfway house for caddies working.

SOCIAL DISTANCING • Caddies and golfers should follow recommended social distancing guidelines – 6 feet, unless recommended otherwise. o This will need to be monitored by staff, golfers/members and experienced caddies. Minimize clusters of golfers and caddies and maintain proper spacing. Focus on the tees and green, where most congregating occurs. o If carrying a golf bag, a caddie should always walk a distance greater than 10 feet from his or her golfer. o When placing the bag down, the bag should be a minimum of 10 feet from the ball. The caddie should then back away 6 feet until the club is selected. o Whether carrying or forecaddying, caddies and golfers need to focus on keeping their distance and not getting close for any reason. • No handshaking or other form of physical contact (high-fives, “knuckles,” hug, etc.). o Introductions may be made verbally from a safe distance. • Caddies should social distance on the greens. o Caddies will fix ball marks and make sure all clubs are clean and accounted for each hole.

GUIDELINES FOR DAILY MONITORING CADDIES AS THEY ARRIVE AT THE CLUB TO CADDIE Everyday a Caddie will fill out a COVID-19 Assessment Form and temperature taken as they arrive to ensure they are healthy to caddie. PROCEDURE FOR PAYING CADDIES Members will orally communicate the amount to pay their caddie to the Golf Services Staff. The golf services staff will communicate the amount to the caddie and process the payment.
