Since 1 March 2018, the Club has adopted ‘Ready Golf’ in accordance with the United States Golf Association (USGA) for a positive impact on the pace of play. The list of changes can be found on the USGA website, but for now we bring you the major changes that you should take note of. These changes will be adopted from 1 January 2019.
Rule 5.6 will encourage prompt pace of play by recommending that:
New Rule 6.4
In addition, new Rule 6.4 will expressly allow playing out of turn in match play by agreement, and for stroke play, will affirmatively allow and encourage players to play out of turn in a safe and responsible way to save time or for convenience (also known as “ready golf”).
Reasons for Change:
By giving players affirmative guidance, support and encouragement on prompt play, these proposed Rule changes will help in:
Enforcing pace of play will continue to be primarily up to each Committee, as there are limits to what the Rules themselves can do to insist that players play promptly. These changes will enable Committees to point to specific expectations set by the Rules when using their authority to enforce prompt play, and encourage every Committee to adopt a pace of play policy so that all players on the course, whatever the type or level of play, will know what is expected of them.
