• State Day Pace of Play Rules
• Tips to Speed Up Play – Including “Split Up to Catch Up”
• No Card Option  There is no penalty if you choose to “No Card” and it is a wonderful way to speed up the round if you are just having one of those days! 
  

Remember that your correct position on the golf course is immediately behind (and largely within sight of) the group in front of you. We thank you for your attention to Pace of Play as this makes the rounds enjoyable for all players, for the club, and the State Day Rep. 

When registering to play in a State Day, the registration description for each course states the expected time to complete 18 holes for that particular course. Generally, you should make it to the turn within 2 hours and to the finish in 4 hours.  We know that this may seem fast to you, but if we all make the same effort to average 13 minutes from one tee box to the next, the whole State Day will move faster.
