                           errant golf balls. The park district is committed to safety,
                           good sportsmanship, and cooperation with our golfers
                           and residents, and has developed the following guidelines
                           to minimize errant shots and to assist injured parties in
                           identifying the golfer responsible for hitting the errant
                           shot.

                           Golfers are expected to exercise the highest degree of
                           sportsmanship, etiquette, caution, and consideration of
                           others, refraining from horseplay, carelessness, and reck-
                           less or offensive behavior. Golfers are responsible for
                           their own conduct and play, including errant shots that
                           may result in property damage or personal injuries.

                           In the event of property damage or personal injury,

                           who struck the shot. However, the property owner or
                           injured party cannot be disruptive or discourteous to
                           facility patrons or staff.

Warning of Risk
Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental, and emotional resources of each participant.
Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning, and equipment, there is still a risk of serious
injury when participating in any recreational activity. All hazards and dangers cannot be foreseen. Depending on the particular
activity, certain risks, dangers, and injuries may exist due to inclement weather, slips and falls, poor skill level or conditioning,
carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision,
instruction or officiating, and other risks inherent to the particular activity. In this regard, it is impossible for the Frankfort Square
Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in this program/activity, you will be expressly
assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor
child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with this program/
activity (including transportation services and vehicle operations, when provided).

I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in this program/activity, and I voluntarily
agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages, or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may
sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or
accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in this program/activity against the Frankfort Square Park District,
including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees.

I understand that photos and videos are periodically taken of people participating in Frankfort Square Park District programs and
activities, and I agree that any photograph or video taken by the park district of me or my minor child/ward while participating
in a park district program or activity may be used by the park district for promotional purposes, including its electronic media,
videos, brochures, flyers, and other publications without additional prior notice, permission, or compensation to the participant.

I have read and fully understand the registration policies, the above important information, warning of risk,
photo/video policy, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims. If registering on-line or via fax, my
