READY GOLF

 

 

The first golfer ready should tee off.  Don’t stand on “honors”.

 

Be aware of the group in FRONT of you.  Look AHEAD not behind.

 

Think about your next shot as you drive to your ball.

 

Minimize practice swings on the course.

 

Mark you ball on opposite sides so you can easily identify it.

 

Watch where your ball lands and line it up with something on the course so time is not lost locating your ball.

 

Take several clubs with you as you walk to your ball.  The one you think you will use, plus others you might use.

 

Don’t worry about who is away.  When it is safe to hit make sure you are ready. 

 

Get your pre-shot routine completed while others are hitting.  Then hit it!

 

Drive the cart as a team.  While one player walks to his ball, the other player drives up the cart path opposite his ball.  DO NOT wait for player to return to the cart before proceeding to the next ball.

 

The first player whose ball is on the green should drive the cart to the appropriate position behind or beside the green.

 

Study your line of putt while others are preparing to putt.

 

Leave the green and immediately drive to the next tee.  Then put your clubs away and take out the club you use next.  Every few seconds you save add up to a faster round.

Record scores at the next tee, not the green.

 

Slow players are usually unaware that they are playing slowly.  If there is an entire hole open in front of you, your group is playing too slowly, so pick up the pace, or skip a shot and just move forward.!
