Pace of Play Policy: A group shall be considered out of position if they are one hole behind the group immediately ahead of them and behind the cumulative time allowed according to the charts below. In case of the first group of the day, they must only be behind the time allotted according to the chart below.
Procedure for a group out of position:
When a group is out of position they will be timed and all players in the group will be informed they are being timed. Other than the putting green, the timing of a player's stroke will begin when it is their turn and they can play without interference or distraction. Time spent determining yardage will count as time taken for the next stroke. On the putting green, timing will begin after a player has been allowed a reasonable amount of time to mark, lift, clean, and replace their ball, repair their ball mark and other ball marks on their line of putt and remove loose impediments on their line of putt. A player is permitted 45 seconds to play a stroke.
Any player being timed, who exceeds the applicable time to play a stroke will be informed as soon as practicable.
Penalties:
First Offense - No Penalty
Second Offense - One (1) stroke penalty
Third Offense - Two (2) stroke penalty
Fourth Offense - DISQUALIFICATION
Note: Timings exceeding the applicable time to play will be carried over throughout the round. |
