Golf is a challenging game that can
sometimes frustrate even the most
accomplished players. No two golf
courses are the same, and seasoned players
know that courses play differently each
time. Greens that are accommodating on
Saturday might be far more difficult on
Sunday, which is part of what makes the
game of golf such a fun challenge.
Pace of play may not matter much when a
course isn’t busy. But courses tend to draw
crowds come spring, summer and early
fall. During the more busy times of year,
the United States Golf Association¨ offers
these tips to golfers looking to improve
their pace of play.
• Arrive on time and ready to play. Most
courses give players a tee time, which indicates
when their round will begin. Confirm
the tee time the day before a scheduled
round and arrive at the course ready to
play. The USGA¨ urges players to arrive at
the first tee early and with their equipment
in order. Don’t forget to ensure you have
essentials like extra balls, tees and gloves.
• Play from where you’re comfortable.
Each tee box features separate tees for
players of various skill levels. Players who
want to improve their pace of play are
urged to begin each hole from the tee box
where they’re most comfortable. Players
in the same group can play from separate
tees, so if need be, choose to play from the
tee nearest the pin so you can make it to
the green more quickly. Resolve to spend
as little time on the tee as possible without
feeling as though you’re rushing your tee
shot.
• Strategize between shots. Once you
have hit off the tee, strategize how you can

Golf carts
are go-to
transportation
for people who
live in retirement
communities
and private
residential neighborhoods. Individuals aspiring
to call such communities home may be happy to
learn that a new golf cart will not cost them nearly
as much as a new car or truck. Though golf carts
require a sizable fi nancial commitment, the electric
off-road recreational vehicle dealers at Kandi
America estimate the cost of a new electric cart at
between $12,000 and $14,000, while gas-powered
alternatives may begin around $4,000 and cost as
much as $10,000 depending on the model, brand
and accessories. Though electric golf carts are not
maintenance-free, such vehicles generally require
less upkeep than gas-powered carts, so the cost of
maintenance should be factored in when drivers
decide which type of vehicle best suits their needs
and budgets.
get to the green as you approach your ball.
Planning as you walk or drive can reduce
the time you’ll spend strategizing between
shots, which can improve your pace of play
considerably.
• Limit practice swings. Practice swings
can help players shoot their best, but if
improving pace of play is a goal, limiting
practice swings to just one before each
shot can help. Practice swings can even be
taken while others in your group are lining
up and playing their shots. Just be sure to
do so quietly and out of the sight line of
your fellow players.
• Work with your fellow players. Follow
each player’s shot during your round
so less time is spent finding each golfer’s
ball. In addition, fill each other’s divots
and rake bunkers together to cut time off
your round.
options
• Use the group
in front of you
as a marker for
time. Aspiring to
keep up with the
group in front of
you is a good way
to ensure your group is moving along. If
that’s proving difficult, let other groups behind
you play through if they are moving
more quickly than you are. Similarly, if the
group in front of you is moving slowly, politely
ask to play through.
• Line up your putts while others are
putting. Read the green while your fellow
group members are putting and line up your
shot accordingly so you spend less time on
the greens. The USGA recommends leaving
clubs on the side of the putting green
that is closest to the next tee to save even
more time.
How to Speed Up Your Golf Game
There are many ways for golfers of all skill levels to improve pace of play
so everyone can have as much fun as possible while getting a round in.
