Pace of Play / Unreasonable Delay (Rule 5.6)
Players are expected to play without delay within the pace outlined above, and a group is expected to remain in position with the group immediately in front of it. Timing sheets for each round showing the time by which each hole must be completed are posted on the event webpage. A group that falls out of position (see definition below) is subject to monitoring and timing by a Rules Official. Players are expected to play a stroke within 40 seconds of when it is their time to play. Players who receive a bad time will be warned. Players who receive multiple bad times are subject to a penalty.
Penalty for a bad time:
First Breach: Warning
Second Breach: One penalty stroke
Third Breach: General penalty
Fourth Breach: Disqualification
Out of Position:
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.
