Ready Golf – What That Means

P   On the Tee

• Carry an extra golf ball in your pocket
• Tee-off as soon as the group ahead is clear
• Shorter hitters should hit first; if not, then the first player who is ready should hit.
• Again, don’t wait for honors; when you are ready hit the ball

P On the Fairway

• Drop off your cart passenger first, then drive to your ball
• Take appropriate clubs to your ball and then hit without delay
• Players on opposite sides of the hole may hit simultaneously
• Unless it’s dangerous, when you are ready hit the ball
• Watch your ball; if it leaves the fairway then mark its path with an object
• Limit a search for a lost ball to three minutes
• When you’re out of the hole, stop and pick up your ball

P On the Green

• Place any extra clubs you carry between the green and your cart
• Study your putt while others are putting
• Unless you are in someone else’s line continue putting until you putt out
• After everyone holes out, all players should leave the green immediately

• Mark scorecards only after you leave the green and while others are teeing off

P    And Always, Always …

• Keep your practice swings to the minimum
• Be ready to play when it’s your turn
• Stay within one shot of the group ahead
