FEGC Meetups

FEGC members routinely post on-course meetup opportunities, and they're a great way to build community and get to know others in the club. If you commit to attending, please be considerate of the host. Make sure you understand any financial obligations involved, and if you need to withdraw, do so with thoughtful etiquette. Message the host as early as possible so they aren't left covering a cost on your behalf.

No-shows or repeated lapses in etiquette may result in losing access to FEGC meetups. If you no-show a meetup with no warning to the host you will be asked to cover any costs incurred.

Changes to Code of Conduct

Fried Egg Golf reserves the right to modify these guidelines as needed. Members will be notified of significant changes.
