As part of the 500 Club Men’s Association program, it is of the utmost importance that all participants understand and abide by the Pace of Play Guidelines set forth below. Regardless of playing ability, all players will be held to the same Pace of Play standard in all events.
All groups are expected to complete 9 holes in 2 hours and 5 minutes. 18 holes in 4 hours and 11 minutes. The Time Par for each hole is listed on the golf course scorecard and is tracked on the GPS of the golf cars. The first group of the day is judged solely on Time Par. Groups can only be considered out of position (see below) if they are behind Time Par. Out of Position A group will be considered Out of Position when the group is behind Time Par and: When on the tee of a Par 3 the group in front has left the tee of the next hole. When on the tee of a Par 4 the group in front is on the tee of the next hole or further. When on the tee of a Par 5 the group in front is putting on the green of the same hole.
First Offense: A group Out of Position will receive a verbal warning from a course official and the GPS system (if riding). After the first offense it is expected that the group will play ready golf and use continuous putting when possible. Second Offense: If after two holes of the first offense the group is still Out of Position, then the group will receive a second warning. At this time, all players will be required to play “ready golf” and use the continuous putting rule when on the greens. Failure to do so will result in a two stroke penalty assessed on the hole of the infraction. Third Offense: A group that continues to be out of position after the first and second offense will receive a third notification two holes after the second warning. This group will lose tee-time privileges for the next event.
“Ready Golf” – Disregard the etiquette of honors. Hit the ball when you are ready.
“Continuous Putting” – Once you start putting, you must continue until the ball is holed.
