RANCHO PARK GOLF CLUB - PACE OF PLAY POLICY

 

Rancho Park Golf Club has the following Pace of Play regulation in effect: 

 

If your group is more than a hole behind for more than one hole, each member of the group will receive a 2-stroke penalty. No warnings will be given.

 

Continued infractions will be dealt with as follows:

 

First offense: 2-stroke penalty.

Second offense: On the spot DQ and three-month tournament suspension.

Third offense: On the spot DQ and one year-tournament suspension.

 

All penalties are subject to full review by Rancho Park Golf Club's Pace of Play Committee.

Remember the #1 rule in Pace of Play:  Keep up with the group in front of you. No excuses.  The group behind you is irrelevant, do not worry about them. Your group must keep pace with the group in front of you. Period.

Follow these tips to increase the pace of play:

 

• Immediately play a provisional if your ball may be lost.
• Go directly to your ball after everyone tees off. Don't group together.
• Hit your ball if you're ready and it's safe, ignore "honors" in stroke play.
• Putt out, instead of marking, whenever you can (except in Match Play).
• Go to the next tee when you're done putting, no need to wait for everyone to finish.

 

We aim for four-hour rounds. Anything more is uncivilized.
