PACE of PLAY

YOUR GOALS

• Keep up with the group in front of you. The position of the group behind you is not your concern.
• Have fun and be respectful of others.

SOME HELPFUL TIPS

1. Be Prepared:

• Apply sunscreen prior to round
• Have balls marked prior to round
• Have extra tees, balls etc ready for use
• Know the rules

2. Watch the flight of the balls of other players. This may reduce the time spent looking for errant balls. Remember…the time allowed to search for a lost ball is 3 minutes.

3. Be READY to hit your ball. Whenever possible, drive cart midway between balls. Both players can then proceed to their ball with a couple of clubs. Try not to leave cart behind you to avoid walking backwards.

4. After completing your shot, get in the cart and drive to wherever the next shot (you or your cart partner) will take place. THEN, put away your clubs etc. Seems minor but saves time, especially if you add a club cover to your clubs.

5. At the green, leave your cart behind the green. This location will help you exit the hole most efficiently and allow the following group to hit up.

6. At the green, place any extra clubs etc between the green and your cart. This way, you won’t have to walk back to collect your clubs.

7. After leaving the green, proceed to your cart and drive to the next hole before doing scoring.

8. If your group is behind, work together as a foursome to close the gap. You may decide to have 2 players putt out and go to next hole and tee off while the remaining 2 players finish putting. You may need to improve your readiness to play or your efficiency between shots.

Etiquette on the Green!

Although the following statements are not rules of golf per se, they should help smooth out your round! 
1. Wait your turn to putt
2. Don't walk on anyone else's line of putt
3. Don't make any noise or move when someone else is putting
4. Respect the green and remember to repair your ball marks and divots
5. Don't lose your temper
6. Don't stand over your ball forever
7. DO sink it! 
 

How Do I Join The Two Club?

The Two Club is a golf group that anyone can join. The only requirement for membership is that a gross “2” is scored while playing with a Two Club member or members.

1. Score a gross “2” (usually a birdie on a par 3) AND ASK if anyone is a member of the Two Club.
2. If so, pay each Two Club member $1.00. You are then a member for life.
3. Once a Two Club member, whenever you score a “2”, you must ask if anyone in the group is a Two Club member. If there are any, EACH person owes you $1.00. Thereafter, if you are playing with someone who scores a “2”, you either receive $1.00 from them, if they wish to join, or YOU pay them $1.00 if they are already a member.
4. If you score a “2” on a hole and ARE NOT playing with a Two Club member, YOU CANNOT JOIN THE CLUB yet.
