SLOW PLAY Whether
it is played in a competitive or
friendly environment; the game of
golf should be played by the
Rules :
"
Play the ball as it lies "
" Play the course as you
find it "
" And if you can’t do
either, do what is fair "
" But to do what is fair,
you need to know the RULES OF
GOLF "
Slow
Play, Undue Delay
Every
golfer’s objective is to
enjoy the game and achieve fewer
strokes in a round. Slow play can
trigger unpleasantness either for
you, your flight mates or others
on the course. So, do speed up
play and always maintain the pace
of play between flights.
Adoption from
R&A Rules Of Golf (Rule 6-7)
with regard to Undue Delay, Slow
Play
The player shall
play without undue delay and in
accordance with any pace of play
guidelines, which may be laid
down by the Committee. Between
completion of a hole and playing
from the next teeing ground, the
player shall not unduly delay
play.
If you are in a
Competition the Penalty is as
follows:
First Offence -
One stroke
Second Offence -
Two strokes
For subsequent
offence - Disqualification
As
for Beringin Golf Course, we have
empowered our Marshalls to ensure
that no slow play occurs to be
fair to the other players. They
(Marshall) have also been given
step-by-step guidelines to handle
slow play situations :-
Step
One:
Marshall shall
regularly check the pace of
play. There should not be
more than one hole between
the flight in front of you or
behind you. If this happens,
the Marshall will then advise
the slow play golfer/s to
speed up play.
Step
Two:
If, after
observing one or two holes,
the golfers have not picked
up pace, the Marshall shall
WARN the flight and time the
player/s accordingly.
Allocation of time for each
player to play a stroke
including on the putting
green is as follows : -
i)
50 seconds for first player to
play.
ii)
40 seconds for second and
subsequent players.
Step
Three:
If slow play
still exists, the players
will be requested to pick up
the balls and proceed to the
next tee box. The Marshall
has also been authorized to
allow the flight behind to
overtake the flight that is
slow.
Step
Four:
If the Marshall
notices that the flight is
unable to keep the pace of
play even after Step Three,
he shall request the flight
to stop play and leave the
course.
In
order to achieve a fair pace of
play, all golfers should adhere
to the course control and this
will ensure that everyone enjoys
his/her game whilst at Beringin
Golf Course.
