Remember that if you save 1-2 minutes per hole it can add up to 20-30 minutes over your round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fall-back text-left\">Over the coming month we will be promoting the \u2018Ready Golf\u2019 principles and asking members to take note of their own round times. The Captains will also be monitoring round times during each competition and you may start to receive notifications on your Mi-score app or messages from the Club if your rounds are taking longer than the 4:20mins.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"fall-back text-left\">The Club has a goal to bring average rounds down to no longer than<b>\u00a04:20mins (2:10mins per 9 holes)<\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"fall-back text-left\">Below are the some of the principles to follow:<\/p>\n<p class=\"fall-back text-left\"><span style=\"color: #00a3dd;\"><b>READY GOLF STANDARDS\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>On the tee:\u00a0<\/b>Players are required to apply \u201cReady Golf\u201d standards.

Once you start putting, you should finish unless you will be standing in someone\u2019s line.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>If your group has fallen behind the group in front when 2 players have putted out, then they should immediately move to the next tee and tee off.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"fall-back text-left\"><b><span style=\"color: #00a3dd;\">Note:<\/span>\u00a0<\/b> It is the responsibility of each group to keep up with the group in front.

The Club will be assessing your pace of play based on your tee off time. Don\u2019t wait to be called, you should be at the tee 5 minutes before your scheduled tee time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Hit your shot before helping someone to look for a lost ball \u2013 most often they will find their ball while you play your shot.<\/li>\n<li>Mark your score card once you have reached the next tee to allow other groups to play, not off to the side of the green.<\/li>\n<li>Place your bag, buggy or cart between the green and the next tee.<\/li>\n<li>If you are in carts, drop your partner off to play their shot and then move to your ball to play your shot.<\/li>\n<li>If carts are on paths take your distance finder and a couple of clubs to the ball to play.
