Keep Pace
A Solution to Slow Play

SLOW PLAY detracts seriously from the enjoyment of golf. When groups fall behind, the course backs up; tee offs are delayed and golfers become impatient. Letting groups through adds to the problem of slow play. The group that goes through benefits but there is additional delay while that happens and the remaining groups are still held up. The solution to slow play is for groups to KEEP PACE with the players ahead. Then, there are few delays and all the golfers benefit.

A round of golf should take no longer than four hours and 15 to 30 minutes to play. You may feel that this pace is too fast but, remember, slow play is not caused by long roughs, tricky greens or bad shots. Rather, slow play is the result of bad habits and bad habits can be corrected.

If each player in a foursome saves five seconds per shot, each round of golf would be shortened by 30 minutes!

 

Course Marshals

Course Marshals have been instructed too:

  • Ensure the first groups playing early morning, play in four hours.
  • Following groups will be ask to play par 4's and par 5's in a maximum of 15 minutes in average
    (18 holes X 15 minutes = 4 hours and 30 minutes).
  • First Slow Play Violation - the group will be asked to catch up to the group ahead.
  • Second Slow play Violation - the group will be asked to pick up their balls and catch up within one stroke of the group ahead. Then, they may continue play.
  • Third Slow Play Violation - the group may be asked to leave the course
