How to Tackle the Problem of Slow Play at the Golf Ground Golf Slow play is usually bad habits of a golfer. He/she should have a complete knowledge of golf etiquette. A slow golfer can generally be healed of his malady. A golfer has to know that he is slow and that’s where partners come into play. In this article, we are going to tell some suggestions for speeding up play as it is very important

for a game like golf. Below mentioned are some tips for speeding up golf slow play. Have a look. • Select the right set of tees from which to play. If you are a 20 handicapper, there is no point playing the championship tees. Doing so can only add strokes. • The members of a group should not roam in a group. Each member should walk straight to his own ball. • When leaving the green and coming back to your golf cart, don’t just stand with other clubs. Get in the cart, drive to the other tee and put away your putter. • Similarly, mark your scorecard after getting the next tee, not while lingering on or close to the just-completed green. • If you are finding a lost ball and wasting your time in looking for it, allow the group behind to play through. If you are playing with rules, just pay the penalty, forget the lost ball and use a new one. If not playing by the rules, you should never spend more time searching for a lost ball. • Never ask your partners to help you in searching a lost ball as this will take a lot of your time. • Don’t bother marking lag putts, go ahead and putt out if short enough and trampling on another player’s line.


Don’t take your mobile phone with you.

• Carry extra ball markers, golf ball, and tees in your pocket. So, you can use it whenever it needed. • Never get late in making a stroke because you are having a conversation with a playing partner. • Try playing ready golf, where the order of play is based on who is ready, not on who is away. • Put your conversation on hold when making a stroke. Hit the ball and then resume the conversation again. • Use the time when getting your ball to think about the next shot. So that it would take less time to figure out the shot.
