Gentle reminders for Golfers Series
This week - Slow Play
- Your place on the course is directly behind the group in front, not ahead of the group behind.
- If you are holding up the group behind, call them through.
- If you are unsure whether your ball has come to rest out of bounds, or may be lost, immediately hit a provisional ball so that you will not have to return to the spot to replay the shot.
- Begin reading the green and lining up putts as soon as you reach the green. Do not wait until it is your turn to putt to start the process of reading the green. Do it as soon as you reach the green so that when it is your turn you can step right up and putt.
- Never delay making a stroke because you are having a conversation with a playing partner. Put the conversation on hold, make your stroke, then pick up the conversation again.
