Speed of Play – Policy
For both Competition and Casual Golf some pointers to remember…
- We are a four-hour course for a fourball
- Do not walk in front of golfers about to play their shot
- Encourage ‘Ready, Steady, Golf’– play when safe and ready to do so; not necessarily in order of furthest ball from hole
- Play a ‘provisional’ ball if you think there is a possibility that your first ball maybe lost or not easily found. It’s a lot quicker to play a second ball from the tee than walk all the way back. Rule 18.3a applies
- Remember to always announce the brand name and number of your provisional ball to the others in your group, if you don’t then it automatically becomes the ball in play (see rule 10-3 and rule 27)
- Look for your own ball before heading over to help others (where practicable)
- Keep an eye on the time when you start your search – remember you have a maximum of 3 minutes to search for it. After that the ball is officially lost, your provisional ball becomes the ball in play
- Leave your bag, trolley or buggy in the direction of the next tee to avoid slow play
- Mark your scorecard on the next tee, or if you’re first to tee off, then play your tee shot then mark the card
- There’s no shame in calling players through, it can benefit everyone. The group behind will certainly appreciate it
- In Casual Golf, groups and societies that are holding up others will be asked to invite the group behind through, or be asked to walk on a hole to catch up
FACT: We all lose balls from time to time, even good players, and in some cases maybe 2 or 3 players lose balls on the same hole, so unavoidable delays do occur.
If you keep up with the group in front, not ahead of the group behind, you cannot be accused of slow play.
