PACE of PLAY
This is the FINAL installment of Pace of Play Helpful Hints. We hope that you have found these useful and share them with your golfing friends.
Pace of Play Helpful Hint #4
IN GENERAL
1.) Never hesitate to hit a PROVISIONAL BALL
Anytime you think that your ball may be lost out side of
a hazard or out of bounds. If you have to go back to the
tee, this cost time, and could possibly cost you a penalty.
2.) Remember that you only have 5 minutes to look for a
ball.
3.) Please help your fellow competitor look for a lost ball
until the green clears for you to hit, then go to your ball
and prepare to play. If there is still time left you may
then continue to help them look for their ball. That
way once the ball is found or an other ball is put into
play only one person will have to play in order to keep
things moving.
4.) Have a sense of where you are on the golf course. You
don’t have the “right” to drive a cart over every area
of the course, so estimate the yardage and select several
golf clubs before going to your ball.
5.) Check with the golf shop to see what cart rules are in
effect for that day and follow all regulations.
6.) Keep your own scorecard in addition to the
official scorecard, to check that all scoring is
correct. Once your card is signed and turned in,
IT IS OFFICIAL
7.) Whenever unsure of ruling NEVER HESITATE
to invoke Rule 3-3 and play a second ball and
record both scores, then the ruling will be settled by the
committee at the end of the round
“It’s not Bad Golfers,Bad Shots, Deep Rough, or Fast Greens that slow down play".
It’s BadHabits!
Primarily... not being Ready to play when It’s your turn
Change your habits and change the
Enjoyment of the Game…………….for EVERYONE!!!
