Pace of play is an important factor in the game of golf. The benefits of paCe of plAy are TIME saved and people of all abilities tend to golf better when they can get into a rhythm.

Here are a few tips to help with the Pace of Play:

Before the Round Begins

– Arrive 15 minutes before your Tee Time.

– Check-in with the Pro Shop and then with the Starter

– Being on time keeps the course moving

On the Tee

– Be ready to tee off, play “Ready Golf”

– Watch your ball’s flight and landing – watch your partner’s ball too

– Stand to the side and out of the peripheral vision of the player teeing off

Pace of Play

– Plan your shot as you approach your ball

– Start thinking about which club to use

– Keep your pro-shot routine short

– Keep Up with the Group in Front of you

The pace of play is not determined by who is behind you, but the foursome in front of you
