- Please arrive at the course in plenty of time to check in and be on the first tee, ready to play, at your appointed time.
- You should be ready to play every shot when it is your turn – plan your shot and get ready while others are hitting.
- Don’t wait for greens to clear when they are beyond your range!
- When you reach a green, leave your bag or trolley at the side of the green nearest the next tee.
- Line up your putt while others are putting and be ready to putt when it’s your turn.
- If you can’t score on any hole, just pick up your ball and move on.
- The first player to putt out should be ready to replace the flag immediately the last putt is made.
- Don’t mark cards on or near the green. Leave the green without delay and mark the cards at the next tee – without delaying play.
- Encourage your playing partners to keep up with the group in front.
- Don’t allow the slowest player to dictate the pace of play in your group. If someone is slowing things down, tell him / her!
- Don’t delay play for conversation – WALK AS YOU TALK.
- Always keep just behind the group ahead, not just ahead of the group behind.
- If you think your ball may be lost outside a water hazard, or may be out of bounds, declare and play a provisional ball (Rule 27-2).
- Make sure you can locate your ball before you go searching for others.
- If you’re delayed looking for a lost ball, call the players behind through as soon as you realise you have to search for a ball – not after your 5 minutes are up!
- If a ball is not found within 5 minutes, IT IS LOST AND IS OUT OF PLAY! (Rule 27-1).
- If your group is not keeping up, for any reason, invite the players behind to play through.
- See the Rules of Golf on slow play (Rule 6-7)
