PICK UP THE PACE            

Ways to play without delay on the tee:
   *Play a realistic set of tees for your ability
   *Take two or three clubs with you to the tee.
   *Watch errant shots carefully.  Line up ball position so that it will be easier to find. 

Through The Green:
   *Be committed to keeping pace with the group in front of you.
   *Walk quickly, it’s great exercise.
   *Keep time looking for lost balls to an absolute minimum.
   *When using carts, drop off one player and proceed to the next ball. 

On The Green:
   *Player whose ball is nearest the pin should tend the flagstick.
   *Look over putt while others are putting.
   *Be ready to putt when it’s your turn.
   *The first player to finish should be ready to replace the flagstick. 

Have fun but lets all play in a timely manner, it makes it fun for everyone!!!
