Pace of Play Tips
· Use the time you spend getting to your ball to think about the next shot - the yardage, the club selection.
· If you are unsure whether your ball has come to rest out of bounds, or may be lost, immediately hit a provisional ball.
· Drive to the nearest ball, choose your club and then let your partner take the cart to their ball.
· Begin reading the green and lining up putts as soon as you reach the green. Fix your partners' ball mark.
· Read putts in a timely manner and don't bother marking lag putts - go ahead and putt out.
· Never delay making a stroke because you're having a conversation with a playing partner.
· Mark your scorecard after reaching the next tee, not while lingering on or near the just-completed green.
· On the tee, pay attention to your partners' drives.
· Limit practice strokes to one.
· Carry extra tees, ball markers and an extra ball in your pockets.
· When chipping around the green, carry both the club you'll be chipping with plus your putter.
· Try playing Ready Golf, where order of play is based on who's ready, not on who's away. If you're ready, hit.
· KEEP PACE with the group in front of you, HAVE FUN and enjoy the networking our association provides.
