Tips To Avoid Slow Play
Three ball medal rounds are now typically taking over 4½ hours at the Club on Saturday afternoons.
Below are 12 tips to avoid slow play. These have been contributed by a Club member of long standing who is a past master of the fast golf round (he is sometimes known as the “Ayatollah Hogmanay”):
Keep up with the group ahead of you, not just ahead of the group behind you.
Leave your clubs at the side of the green towards the next tee
Reduce your number of practice swings
If in doubt about your ball, play a provisional
Be ready to play when it is your turn
Select your club as you approach your ball
If you cannot find your ball quickly - call the next group through.Do not search for 5 minutes before calling through
Consider putting out your short putts rather than marking and waiting
Mark your card on the next tee while someone else is driving
Save your stories until after you have played
Always concede the fourth putt!
Do not play with Roy Skelton/Dave Roberts/ etc.!
Any more suggestions you may have will be welcomed.
