ETIQUETTE in the GAME of GOLF: This was discussed at the Committee Meeting held 28 June. After many complaints of SLOW PLAY, your Committee decided to publish some Etiquettes of Golf which will help speed up the game.
| In the interests of all, players should play without delay. Please play “Ready Golf” | |
| All games to be completed in no more that 4 hours and 20 minutes When the playing of a Hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the Putting Green from the SIDE not the FRONT Buggies should be parked to the SIDE not the FRONT | |
| If you are falling behind, two players should PUTT OUT and MOVE to the next Tee and Tee Off to help the Speed of Play | |
| At the conclusion of the Game, Players should return their Cards PROMPTLY to prevent delays in producing Competition Results | |
| PLAYERS … Please remember that Committee Members are Volunteers and, as such, should be treated respectfully, and with good grace |
There was some considerable improvement this week with great efforts being made in speeding up play, but still more work needed.
Please be aware of your position in the field and do your best to close the gap from those in front of you.
