Pace of Tournament Play

During tournament play there are incidents where a group may fall 1 or more holes behind the group they are following. It is important a group keeps up with the group in front of them. If a group begins to fall behind it is the responsibility of each player in that group to speed up play and catch the group they are following.  Scorecards have the pace of play printed on them and it is important we adhere to it. Under rule 6-7, a player may be accessed a penalty for undue delay or slow play. A player in this instance pertains to the entire group which means the entire group could be accessed a penalty. Let's not let that happen!  Please be aware of your speed of play and keep up with the group your following. The rule reads:

Rules of Golf: 6-7. 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.

PENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE 6-7:
Match play - Loss of hole; Stroke play - Two strokes.
Bogey and par competitions - See Note 2 to Rule 32-1a.
Stableford competitions - See Note 2 to Rule 32-1b.
For subsequent offense - Disqualification.

Note 1: If the player unduly delays play between holes, he is delaying the play of the next hole and, except for bogey, par and stableford competitions (see Rule 32), the penalty applies to that hole.

Note 2: For the purpose of preventing slow play, the Committee may, in the conditions of a competition (Rule 33-1), lay down pace of play guidelines including maximum periods of time allowed to complete a stipulated round, a hole or a stroke. In stroke play only, the Committee may, in such a condition, modify the penalty for a breach of this Rule as follows:

First offense - One stroke;
Second offense - Two strokes.
For subsequent offense - Disqualification.
