Pace of Play Tips

  • The lowest marker has responsibility for the conduct of his or her group
  • Walk briskly between shots
  • Be ready to play when it is your turn
  • Concentrate on the state of the game and know whose honour or whose next shot it is
  • Let following players through if searching for a lost ball or fall one clear hole behind the group in front
  • Pick up ball when out of shots on hole
  • Play a provisional ball immediately if in doubt as to whether or not your ball is lost
  • Watch flight of ball closely and mark spot with identifiable object on course
  • On the green, the player closest to the pin should first attend the flag
  • Do not stand on the green counting how many shots you’ve had after everyone has played out
  • Do not mark scorecard until you’re off the green and awaiting your turn to tee off
  • Do not leave your buggy at the entrance to the green, place it near the exit to the next tee
  • Do not look for lost balls of other players
  • Do not attempt to play on after having called up the next group
