  • Suggestions for Improving Pace of Play
    SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING PACE OF PLAY 1 SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING PACE OF PLAY ON THE TEE Be early for your tee time. Proper pace of play begins with teeing off at the appointed time. Allow time for unloading your equipment, putting on your golf shoes, any desired practice or warm-up, purchasing any refreshments and driving your cart to the first tee. Play the right course for your ability level: Choose a set of tees with a rating of your handicap index. Or just tee it forward (Apply Legends Rule.) Establish a position on the course. If your round begins on a par 4, wait until the group ahead of you has gotten to the green before teeing off. If your round begins on a par 5, wait until the group ahead of you has hit their second shot and moved toward the green. On subsequent holes when waiting on the tee for the group in front to clear the fairway, don't be so strict about order of play. Let the short hitter - who can't reach the group ahead anyway - go ahead and hit. PLAY READY GOLF— Pick your line of play once and trust yourself. Hit when ready and safe regardless of who has the honors. Try to take no more than one practice swing, then set up to the ball and play your shot. Be ready to hit when it is your turn. Take 30 seconds, maximum, to hit your shot. Pay attention to your partners' drives. If they lose sight of the ball, you can help direct them to it and avoid any searching.

    Introduction .........................................................3 4 Corners .............................................................4 Lag For Break ......................................................5 Speed Ladder (Easy) ............................................6 Circle 8 .................................................................8 Speed Ladder (Medium) .....................................9 3-6-9 ...................................................................11 Bonus! 9 Hole 1 Ball ...........................................13 Introduction Putting drills don’t have to be fancy. Putting drills don’t require a lot of equipment. Putting drills don’t need to take a lot of time to be effective. Using a few golf balls, your putter, and some tees, I’ve put together 6 drills that will increase your confidence on the greens and decrease your overall scores. The process you'll learn from this ebook will help guide your practice on the putting green. It's fun but challenging, too. One of the things I observe on a day-to-day basis, is players on the putting green, aimlessly rolling balls at holes with no purpose or goal. These simple drills are made to make your time spent on the putting green worthwhile, fun, and efficient. Whether you do one drill a day, or all six at once, these are guaranteed to move money from your playing partner’s pockets into yours, one putt at a time! “I enjoy the oohs! and aahs! from the gallery when I hit my drives. But I'm getting pretty tired of the awws! and uhhs! when I miss the putt.” - John Daly Drill 1 4 Corners 1 Ball, 4 Tees An easy start into your putting drills The Setup Using your putter to measure your distance about 3 feet from the hole, form a square, or four corners, where the tees are placed around the cup.
