1. PACE OF PLAY GUIDELINES

All players must always maintain the proper pace of play. If a group falls behind by having an open hole in front of them, they will be warned by a course marshal/rules official and asked to speed up play and keep pace with the group ahead.

If they do not, in the opinion of the marshal/official, make a conscious effort to speed up play in the next few holes, the marshal/rules official will time all members of the group.

The rules official doing the timing shall be the sole judge of when it is the players turn to play and he is able to play without interference or distraction. Any player who takes more than forty (40) seconds to play his shot from the time it is his turn to play shall incur a BAD TIME and be subject to the following penalties:

1st Bad Time	Warning
2nd Bad Time	One (1) point deduction from total team points
3rd Bad Time	Two (2) point deduction from total team points
4th Bad Time	Disqualification for the stipulated round. Player will be asked to discontinue play.

The group will be timed until they have regained their proper position on the course. A player will carry his bad time for the rest of the round in case their flight falls out of position again.

2. MANDATORY PICK-UP AFTER BOGEY

A player who fails to score a bogey is mandated by the Tournament Committee to stop play of the hole, to speed up play. The player must pick-up his ball and not make a stroke for a double-bogey. He must mark his score with an “X” to indicate a pick-up. Failure to do so is an automatic two (2) point deduction from the team’s points total score for the stipulated round.

3. WRONG SCORE FOR HOLE

The player is responsible for the correctness of the score recorded for each hole on his scorecard. If the player returns a score for any hole lower than actually taken, PLAYER IS DISQUALIFIED FOR THE STIPULATED ROUND. If he returns a score for any hole higher than actually taken, the score as returned stands.
WE highly encourage all players to check their scorecard before signing and submission or dropping into the designated Score Box. If any matters arise during play that needs to be settled, check with The Committee before submitting the scorecard. Both player and marker may be disqualified for the submission of an incorrect scorecard.

GOLF ETIQUETTE 101:

Unlike many sports, golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the INTEGRITY of the individual to show consideration for other players and to ABIDE by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be.
This is the spirit of the game of golf.
Players should always show consideration for other players on the course and should not disturb their play by moving, talking or making any unnecessary noise.
Players should ensure that any electronic device and mobile phones taken onto the course does not distract other players.
Play at a Good Pace and Keep Up. It is a group’s responsibility to keep up with the group in front.
Players should be ready to play as soon as it is their turn to play. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green.
On PAR 3’s – As a matter of courtesy, allow the flight behind you to hit into the green once everyone has made it to the putting surface.
A missed putt or a fantastic birdie may be reason to rant or celebrate, but please keep your voice down… other players around the course may be teeing off, taking their next shot or putting too!
