One of our turtles saw fit to do a little sunning on #8 green this week... not caring at all about his/her pace of play... 😉
Apologies, this is a long post but all golfers can benefit by following our Pace of Play tips below and sharing them with the rest of your group.
1. Stay in POSITION – keep up to the group in front of you, then you won’t ever have to worry about the group behind you
2. Play READY golf – whoever is ready to play, regardless of distance, should hit or even putt when safe to do so
3. Spend 2 mins MAX looking for your lost ball – keep a close eye on where it went in and drop another quickly if you know it’s gone
4. Play APPROPRIATE TEES – Blue tees are suited to players who regularly shoot in the mid 80s or lower. Consider moving up to the Light Blues from the Whites if you’ve lost some distance. Remember, shorter shots into the greens typically produce better scores
5. Minimize PRE-SHOT ROUTINE – have a pre-shot routine but keep it simple, take one practice swing, trust your first line when putting, be ready to hit when it’s your turn, don’t be a “Patrick Cantlay”.
6. Use your POWER CART effectively – drop your partner at his/her ball and drive to yours, or park midway between and walk over
7. Have great CONVERSATIONS – but don’t start telling the story when it’s your turn to hit or putt.
Remember, the entire golf course is behind you and, if you’re playing at a 5 hr pace, then so is EVERYONE else. Be considerate of that and we’ll all wait less and enjoy our round at Burlington Springs even more.
