Golfing is an elegant and peaceful sport, but it doesn't mean you can enjoy the golf course. Because the spirit of golf is to consider other people, one of the important etiquettes is not to block the people behind. Play with a calm mind, but you must not procrastinate. Speeding up your playing speed is also a kind of respect for those behind you.
Play fast, keep up with the front group
Players should maintain a good speed of play, and a group of players has the responsibility to keep up with the previous group. If they are one hole behind the previous group and delay the latter group, no matter how many players there are in the latter group, the players in that group should ask the latter group to pass first. Even if a group of players is not one hole behind the front group, if the latter group is playing significantly faster, they should invite the fast-playing group to pass first. We should speed up our playing speed without affecting normal playing, so as to reduce unnecessary troubles for the players in the rear group and the court.
Tips to speed up the game
Keep the kick-off time
We should strictly abide by our scheduled kick-off time, because the court will arrange the order of exit according to everyone's scheduled time. If there is an early or late arrival, there will be a jump in the team, which is likely to cause congestion in the stadium.
Go fast and play slowly
Go fast: In the absence of a cart, we should move quickly to the next hitting location after the kick-off to save playing time. Slow play: When preparing to hit the ball, we allow enough time to study the route of the shot, the way of swing, and so on.
Ready to hit the ball
When other players are hitting the ball, we should use this idle time to prepare for the shot, instead of observing how others hit the ball. This will also speed up the ball to a certain extent.
Provisional ball
If you want to strictly abide by the rules, then you should play a provisional ball in the event of a tee error. This can avoid having to go back to the tee and play again when the ball is not found.
Taking into account that other people are the unchanging spirit of golf, once you are on the court, you must have the consciousness of speeding up the game in your mind, and you must also show good etiquette.
