Hey Guys .... While We're Young!
The next time you play, please help everyone on the course enjoy their day by following a few of these easy guidelines for speeding up pace:
- Play READY golf; be ready to play when it is your turn.
- Read your putt while others are putting.
- Walk ahead as far as is safe. DO NOT move as a group from shot to shot.
- Call ahead for any food purchases at the turn
- Do all scorekeeping on the teeing ground of the next hole, NOT on the green of the current hole.
- If you are the first or second person to finish the hole, put your clubs away and be ready to go to the next hole, let the third person to finish put the flagstick back in.
- Set your clubs (or park your cart) between the flagstick and the next tee box to minimize time between holes.
- Golf is a social game, but limit socializing to times when it is appropriate such as the putting green and teeing ground (when the group is closer together), but do so in a manner so as to not slow down the progress of the group.
- Be an athlete, walk fast.
- When on carts, be willing to take many clubs and walk to your ball if your riding partner is not near you, do not wait for the partner to bring the cart to you.
- If you are playing a Team Tournament and the score is not being posted and you are out of the hole, Please PICK UP.
- Help the others in your group, watch everyone’s shots and track them so they can quickly find them.
- Remember that your place on the golf course is directly behind the group in front of you, NOT in front of the group behind you!

Important Info Regarding Posting Scores & Equitable Stroke Control
As a reminder, we encourage all members to post your scores whenever you play golf. If you do not know what Equitable Stroke Control is, please take a moment to read the PDF file linked below to get familiar with it. Based on your course handicap, there is a maximum score you can POST for any given hole. Please adhere to this standard when posting.
When playing a tournament, you must record your ACTUAL score on the scorecard. If the scores will be posted for you, the system will make the ESC adjustments. If you are responsible for posting your own tournament score, you MUST make ESC adjustments and post that adjusted score.
As an example, Let's say your course handicap is a 12. You play a par 5 and end up getting an 8 on that hole. You record an 8 on the scorecard. When you post your score however, you must make an adjustment for that hole and only take a 7, since that is the maximum score you can get on any given hole.
If you have any question regarding ESC, please see a committee member, Head Pro, or Asst. Pro for further explanation.
