Play
at a Good Pace and Keep Up
It is a group's responsibility to keep up with the group in front, regardless
of the group behind them.
Be Ready to Play
Players should be ready to play as soon as it is their turn to play. When
playing on or near the putting green, they should leave their bags or carts in such a position as will enable quick movement
off the green and towards the next tee. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting
green.
If in a cart...
Do not wait for your cart
partner to play before getting ready to play your own ball....if it won't interfere with her play or if your ball is not too
far away, grab some clubs and go to your ball so you will be ready after she hits.

Dos and Don’ts of Divot Repair
Repairing divots on the green
Divots on the green are the most crucial
to repair. You’ll generally see these on approach shots somewhere in the vicinity of your ball. Most likely, you’ll
also find more than just your divot on the green. This is a result of lazy golfers or golfers who just didn’t find their
divot. Hopefully, they couldn’t find their own and repaired another.
The rule of thumb is to find your divot
and repair it—and then repair one more. This will ensure that the putting surface stays in as good of shape as possible,
and that it rolls as true as possible. It is our duty as golfers to help keep the course in as good of shape when we leave
it as when we found it.
How to repair
Divots on the green
are sensitive divots. They require a careful repair. Use a divot tool, which is designed to repair these depressions without
damaging the turf. The No. 1 rule to remember is: DO NOT TWIST. Twisting the tool tears the grass roots and damages the turf,
which further slows the healing process or causes turf to die.
Depending on the shape of the divot,
there are two repairing methods. The first is for divots that are small depressions with no turf removed. For these, insert
the divot tool just outside the edge of the divot and lift gently, raising the ground to slightly above the putting surface.
Then take your putter and tamp it back down so that it is level with the putting surface. This helps speed up the healing
process and ensures that the green will still roll true.
The second type of divot is either oblong
or fairly deep with the turf removed. Don’t replace this turf as its roots have been separated from the ground. Do insert
your divot tool just outside the edges of the divot, and press the surrounding ground toward the center of the divot, stretching
the turf to fill it in. Go around the divot completely several times if you need to, repeating this process until you have
the turf stretched to where the divot is filled in. From there, tap the turf down so that the putting surface is again level,
ensuring a true roll.
Just a second
Are you done? No. Remember, now that you’ve
repaired your divot, find one more and repair it. If we don’t do our part to help maintain our courses, then they will
degrade and become undesirable or unplayable. So do your part, and keep your course in good shape.

Important rule change for this
year!!!!
|
|
Q. Am I permitted to lift a ball that I believe
is mine to identify it? |
|
A. Yes, under Rule 12-2, a ball may be lifted for identification. The player must announce his intention
to lift the ball to an opponent, fellow-competitor or marker, and mark the position of the ball. He may then lift the ball
and identify it, provided that he gives his opponent, marker or fellow-competitor an opportunity to observe the lifting and
replacement.
This may be done anywhere on the course, including when the ball lies in a
hazard.
