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

If every player in a
foursome saved five seconds per shot, then the round will be shortened by
about 15 minutes. |
