Slow Play Policy:

The maximum allowable time for lead group (assuming no delay from the public groups in front of us) should be 4 hours 30 minutes for team events and 4 hours and 45 minutes for individual tournaments/majors.  All of the following groups should either finish 20 minutes behind the group in front of you or they should play in the time allotted for the first group. 

Here are the answers to a couple of questions you may have:

Question: How will this be enforced?

Answer: Players must record (on your scorecard) the time at the start of your round and when you finish. If you are late, your group will be assessed a penalty of two shots person or three shots per team.

 Please note that in all monthly team events there is a net double bogey maximum score, so there is no need to grind over a put for a 9 (or in most cases spend the full 3 mins looking for balls). Also, if you are assessed a penalty it will not be added to your posted score (to GHIN). It is for the purposes of the competition only.

Question: we teed off in the first group and the last public group played in 5 1/2 hours, are we going to get penalized shots.

Answer: No. If you stay up to 20 minutes behind them, you’ll be fine

Question: what happens if we tee off in the second group and a bunch of low handicappers play the round in 3 hours and 45 mins. Do we have to keep up?

Answer: No, the time you are expected to play in is 4 hours 30 minutes for team events and 4 hours 45 mins for individual tournaments/majors. If you play faster, good for you and the same expectation of play is then applicable to the group following.

In deciding on a suitable policy, we considered a couple of different approaches and by comparison to the rest, the 20 minute grace period is lenient. Our idea is not to impose an unachievable standard, simply one the is reasonable, fair and which identifies the chronically slow players.
