How do we avoid slow play during tournaments?
All players in each foursome are responsible for the group maintaining a reasonable pace of play. Always stay in contact with the group ahead of you.
If you get to the tee and the group in front of you has already left the green on the same hole, you are behind.
It is the responsiblity of the low handicapper or the person who has been in the Club for the most years to encourage everyone in the foursome to speed up play.
Ideally, you should always see the group in front of you. Hopefully, they are not exiting the green.
If you are asked to speed up play, don't get your feelings hurt. We are only trying to make equal playing conditions for all participants.
The course monitors our progress as well and often times has a course marshall to help keep the foursomes moving.
Remember, Be Ready to Golf.
