Please Click on an Option in the Tournament Information Sub-menu Effective immediately. If you fall a hole and a half behind the group in front of you, the marshall will give you a warning and tell you to pick up your pace. If the gap is not closed by the time the marshall comes back, and you are holding up the group behind you, you will be disqualified and asked to leave the course. Slow play at MVMGC events: With some minor common sense changes to how we approach the game, we can reduce the time difference between the faster 1. Take any practice swings before it is your turn to play.
2. Start lining up your putts as you drive to the green and as others putt. Do not start your routine when it is your turn – it should already be completed.
3. Move quickly from the green to the cart.
4. Consider holding your club in your lap as you drive to the next tee if a group behind you is waiting.
5. Never record scores until you reach the next tee if you are driving and scoring.
6. Pick up if your score doesn’t factor into the team score for the hole. Take the score you would most likely have gotten (but not in RX Cup play).
7. Play ready golf- the first person ready is the first to play.
8. If there is a chance that a shot may not be found- hit a provisional ball. You should NEVER HAVE TO GO BACK TO HIT A SECOND SHOT.
9. If you have difficulty in seeing, tell everyone before you tee off. That way you can have six other eyes following your shots.
10. If you and your cart partner hit similar shots, DO NOT drive to one of the balls and sit in the cart watching him hit. Drive to the area between the two balls and both of you get out and go to your ball. The first one ready hits first.
11. If there is an open hole in front of you and the group behind you is on your tail, let them play through. It will be more enjoyable for both of you.
12. If you hit a par three green, but are not very close, and there is no one on the CTP sheet, pace off an approximate distance, rather than taking the extra time to get an exact distance. That is much quicker and you probably aren’t going to win anyway.
13. Occasionally offer to rake the trap for a slower player.
14. Each cart should go to their own shots not to the other cart’s balls to watch them hit.
15 If you and your cart-partner have hit, consider moving up, if safe to do so. You can then go into your pre-shot routine and be done sooner.
16 Consider putting until holed after your first putt. It remains your turn until you choose to give it up. Less marking and replacing can really help.
If all of us did all of this all of the time, many of us would play a round in at least fifteen minutes less than we do now. This would make for a more pleasant day for your group and everyone behind you. Please do your part.
