It is each group’s responsibility to keep pace with the group in front. If any group loses a clear hole and delays the group behind, they should invite the group behind to play through, irrespective of the number of players in each group. Where a group has not lost a clear hole, but it is apparent that the group behind can play faster, it should invite the faster moving group to play through at a convenient hole. To enforce this process, we have asked the Course Marshals to politely ensure we achieve this ambition.
The Marshals have the right to ask any playing group to stand to one side to allow groups playing at a quicker pace to play through. If required, they also have the right to ask groups to pick their balls up and walk to the next hole to ensure smooth speed of play across the whole course.
The Club Management would ask that we all respect the role that the Marshal plays and that if you are requested to allow a group through, you do so without animosity and as a courtesy to other members/ players.
