Golf Regulations
Slow Play
Every effort should be made to eliminate slow play which destroys the pleasure of golf. The following measures are suggested to reduce slow play:
1. Each group must keep their place in the field. They must maintain their position behind the group in front.
2. Players should hit off quickly from the tee.
3. At the tee, the honour should be ignored if a player is not ready to play. Through the green a player should play as soon as they reach their ball if there is no danger to other players.
4. In Stableford and Par events, players should pick up their ball when they are unable to score a point or half a hole.
5. During play, only a player, the partner and caddies should search for a ball. If others join the search, the following group of players must be called through immediately.
6. After completing 9 holes, players must not stop at the halfway bar if the next tee is clear.
7. A two-stroke penalty may apply. Rule 6-7 undue delay – slow play.
