READY GOLF

1.  At the Tee let the first player ready hit his ball – no honors.  (Remember to watch each other’s tee shot, so that time is not wasted if the ball is not located immediately).  If a player believes his ball may be lost (outside a environmental hazard, in the heavy fescue grass or out of bounds) to save time he should play a provisional ball.

2.  If there is a gap or opening between your group and the one in front, the first person that holes out goes to the next tee and hits while the rest putt out. (If a person needs help seeing the tee ball, two people proceed to the next tee)

3.  In the fairway go to your ball and hit when it is safe to do so without waiting for the person farthest from the hole to hit.

4.  When riding in a cart drop one player at his ball with the other going to his, when practicable, then hit, pickup the partner and move on for the next stroke.

5.  Always place your golf cart or bag so that you can leave the green from the rear or side toward the next tee. Not in front so that you obstruct the next group.

6.  If a player needs to rake a greenside bunker someone on the green should be putting not waiting for the raker to putt his ball.

7.  Line-up and look over your putt while the other players are doing the same and be ready to putt when it is your turn.  When practicable you should putt out, not mark and wait. (See 2 above)

8.  Mark your scorecard at the next tee while waiting your turn to tee off.
