Pace of play is being closely monitored by the Match Committee. It is expected that rounds will take 4 hours 20 mins or less.\u00a0 To achieve this we need those choosing to book early to play significantly faster to set the pace of play for the rest of the field. Recent competition time sheets show some groups are falling one or two holes behind. Aim to keep up with the group ahead, AND not\u00a0 just ahead of the group behind<\/u>.<\/p>\n
Please book later in the field if you can’t keep the pace of play to the Club’s expectations.<\/p>\n
