Pace of Play and Ready Golf
Plan your shot while others play, choose a club early, and walk with purpose. Take one or two rehearsal swings, then commit. Place your bag or cart on the side of the green toward the next tee to exit efficiently.
Pace of Play and Ready Golf
If a tee shot might be lost or out of bounds, announce and hit a provisional to avoid walking back. Search briskly with teammates, and remember the three-minute limit. This small habit preserves momentum and keeps groups smiling.

Tee and Fairway Etiquette
In stroke play, ready golf is encouraged when it’s safe, saving time without pressure. In match play, honors still matter. Communicate quickly on the tee, then play confidently. Clear expectations reduce awkward pauses and keep everyone fluid.
Tee and Fairway Etiquette
If your group is slower, step aside courteously and wave the faster group through at a natural break. No apologies needed—just smiles. Most players appreciate the gesture and return it when your roles reverse later in the round.
On the Green: Poise, Flagstick, and Celebration
Since 2019, you may putt with the flagstick in or out. Decide promptly and communicate to avoid delays. If tending, hold it still and remove it before the ball arrives. Simple coordination keeps the group’s rhythm intact.
