- KEEP UP WITH THE GROUP IN FRONT OF YOU
- Focus on keeping pace with the group in front of you
- PLAY READY GOLF
- Where order of play is based on who's ready, not who's away. There is no penalty for playing
out of turn in stroke play.
- KEEP AN EYE ON EACH OTHER'S SHOTS
- Help look for lost balls AFTER YOU HAVE HIT YOUR SHOT. If all four members are looking for the ball
at the same time, the group has come to a screeching halt
- AS CART DRIVER, DROP OF YOUR PASSENGER AT HIS BALL AND IMMEDIATELY GO TO YOUR BALL
- Do not wait for him to hit unless you would be in the line of flight
- IF YOU ARE THE PASSENGER AND ARE UNSURE OF WHICH CLUB TO HIT
- Take several clubs and sent the driver on his way
- IF YOUR NEXT SHOT IS A WEDGE OR CHIP TO THE GREEN
- Take your putter with you and tell the driver to go on without you
- USE THE CONTINUOUS PUTTING RULE WHEVER POSSIBLE
- You may choose to put out to increase your group's pace of play
- NEVER RECORD SCORES AT THE GREEN
- Do it at the next tee box
- AFTER YOU HIT A SHOT
- Climb into the cart holding your clubs, clean and put them away at the next shot
- USE THE TIME GETTING TO YOUR BALL TO THINK ABOUT THE NEXT SHOT
- i.e., yardage & club selection. When you reach your ball you'll spend less time figuring it out
- BEGIN READING THE GREEN AND YOUR PUTTING LINE AS SOON AS YOU REACH THE GREEN
- Don't wait until it's your turn to putt to start the process, so when it's your turn you can step up and
putt
- NEVER DELAY A STROKE BECAUSE OF CONVERSATION WITH YOUR PARTNER
- Put the conversation on hold, make your shot, then pick up where you left off
- IF USING A CART ON CART PATH ONLY DAY
- Take more than one club with you when you leave the cart. Getting to your ball with the wrong club is a HUGE
time-waster on the course.
- WHEN LEAVING THE GREEN
- Don't fuss with your putter or other clubs, Get in the cart and drive to the next tee then put your clubs
away
- ON THE TEE, WATCH YOUR PARTNERS DRIVE
- If they lose sight of the ball, you can help direct them to it and avoid searching for it
- WHEN WAITING ON THE TEE FOR A GROUP TO CLEAR THE FAIRWAY
- Don't be so strict on hitting order, let the short hitter that can't reach the group ahead hit first
- CARRY EXTRA TEES, MARKERS & BALLS IN YOUR POCKET
- So you don't have to return to your bag if you need one
- PUTT OUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE
