enjoyment of all players, all groups must make every effort to complete
their round as close as possible to the four hours.
Players in the earliest groups of the day must move as quickly as
possiblearoundthecoursetoensure the rest of the field is not
delayed. Players in early groups that do not maintain an adequate pace
of play may be restricted to later tee times in future competitions.
Course Marshaling
Where a Course Marshal is on duty for a club competition, the purpose
is to help you enjoy your game by helping in case of emergencies,
protecting the course from misconduct by any player and ensuring the
speed of play is appropriate, given the number of players on the
course. Please give the Marshal your fullest cooperation. Any concern
about pace of play or rules must be raised with the Match Committee
members appointed for that competition.
Reducing Slow Play
Slow play is unnecessaryand irritatesmost players. While players are
not expected to ‘run’ around the course, they are expected to keep up
with the group ahead of them. Remember the rule:
Your place in the field is immediately behind the group in front,
NOT immediately in front of the group behind.
Members must observe the GLGC Pace of Play Guidelines
(GLGC Guidance Statement No 10).
Any group that has a complete hole in front of them should allow faster
