Speeding Up Play

· Play ready golf. When you arrive at the tee box, be prepared to tee off. Never hold up play because you’re in the middle of a conversation.

· Begin preparing before you get to your ball – use the travel time to plan your next shot – yardage, club, etc.

· Each member of a group should proceed directly to his ball.

· After hitting, don't clean or put your club away until you've reached your ball or the green.

· When cart rule is 90 degrees, the driver of the cart should drop off the passenger at their ball and proceed to the driver's ball.

· Line your putt up while others are putting.

· Carry extra tees, ball markers, spare balls to prevent having to return to your golf bag.

· Park behind the green and mark scores at the next tee box.

· Do not spend excessive time looking for lost balls. If you can't find it in about a minute, it's probably lost so take a drop and hit another ball.

· If the group behind you is waiting and you can't see the group in front of you . . . you're behind!
