Pace of Play/Unreasonable Delay (Rule 5.6)
Players are expected to play without delay, and groups are expected to remain in position with the group immediately in front of it. Timing sheets for each round showing the time by when each hole must be completed are posted on the Qualifying webpage. Groups who fall out of position will be WARNED (First breach) and are subject to monitoring and timing by a Rules official. Players are expected to play a stroke within 40 seconds from when it is their time to play.
Out of Position (Defined)
A group is out of position when it reaches a tee over the maximum allowable time and fails to play a stroke:
- On a par-3 hole before all players in the group ahead have played from the teeing area of the next hole, or
- On a par-4 hole before all players in the group ahead have holed out, or
- On a par-5 hole before any player in the group ahead has made a stroke on the putting green.
Penalty for a Bad Time
Players who receive a bad time after being warned will receive One penalty stroke. Players who receive a second bad time will receive Two penalty strokes. The expected pace of play is 4:28 for 18 holes. Penalty for Breach of Rule 5.6a:
First breach: Warning (to the Group)
Second breach: One penalty stroke;
Third breach: Two penalty strokes;
Fourth breach: DISQUALIFICATION.
