Pace of Play

Pace of Play & golf etiquette go hand-in-hand; they have little if anything to do with skill level. Follow these tips to speed up Pace of Play

● Stay up with the group in front of you

● Plan each shot as you walk to your ball. Play ready golf

● Don’t wait in the cart for a ride to your ball! If you’re sharing a cart & your ball is close, while your partner plans her shot, get your club(s), go to your ball & prepare to hit

● Don’t move, talk, or stand close to or directly behind a player or the hole when the player is addressing the ball

● Help your partners; watch the flight of balls, especially off the tee. Use a visual marker such as a tree or bush to remember where a ball lands; it will help your group find the ball quickly

● Take a rake with you when you enter a sand trap

● When you approach the green in a golf cart or with a pull cart go to the back of the green closest to the next tee

● Use “continuous” putting. If your first putt is within 1-2 feet of the hole, go ahead and finish putting

● Putt now, score later. Mark your scorecard at the next tee

Remember- only carts with a handicap flag are allowed to go on the fairway on Par 3's. All other carts must remain on the cart path
