(NEW) Pace of Play (All in a pictureโ€ฆ)

Recommended guidelines for improving the Pace of Play.

*Play Ready Golf

*Move to the next hole first, score/clean equipment later

*Limit Time on the Tee

Encourage players to hit when ready, rather than strictly adhering to the honor system.

*Limit Time on the Tee

*Move to the next hole first, score/clean equipment later

Set a maximum time for players to take their shots, typically around 40 seconds for a shot.

*Move to the next hole first, score/clean equipment later

*Move to the next hole first, score/clean equipment later

*Move to the next hole first, score/clean equipment later

Do a lot of the things at the next hole. Instead of right after the hole, where everyone including the flight behind is waiting, you can do the following at the next hole:

  • Clean clubs
  • Clean balls
  • Write scores down
  • Put clubs into the bag when buggy-mate is ready to go

Do all these at the next hole.

*Keep Moving

*Move to the next hole first, score/clean equipment later

Players should be ready to move to their next shot or hole as soon as it's their turn.

*Use Carts Efficiently

*Practice Short Game Off the Course

*Stay Aware of the Group Behind

*Practice Short Game Off the Course

*Stay Aware of the Group Behind

If a group is consistently waiting, consider allowing them to play through.

*Monitor the Group Ahead

*Who is responsible for my Groupโ€™s slow game?

*Who is responsible for my Groupโ€™s slow game?

A helpful rule of thumb to gauge your pace is to ensure you maintain good visual contact with the group ahead at all times.

*Who is responsible for my Groupโ€™s slow game?

*Who is responsible for my Groupโ€™s slow game?

*Who is responsible for my Groupโ€™s slow game?

EACH PLAYER within the same group shares the responsibility of maintaining the Groupโ€™s Pace of Play!

In the Rules of Golf, Rule 5.6a is the relevant Rule in relation to unreasonable delay of play. It provides that โ€œa player must not unreasonably delay play, either when playing a hole or between two holesโ€. 


The penalty for a first breach of Rule 5.6a is one penalty stroke and for the second breach, a general penalty (loss of hole in match play, two-stroke penalty in stroke play).
If a player breaches the Rule for the third time, he or she is Disqualified


NOTE for our Clubโ€™s Tournaments:

โ€ข Each player shares the responsibility of maintaining the pace of play of his/her group!

โ€ข If the playing time of an entire flight exceeds the Maximum Allowance Time (M.A.T.) the whole flight will be Disqualified.

โ€ข Disqualification will be automatically enforced upon the expiration of the M.A.T. without a prior notice.
*D.Q Code: Non-return card on time.
