PACE OF PLAY The pace of play at our events is very important to us. We are discouraged by six hour rounds as much as you are. To try to alleviate pace of play issues, please keep in mind the amount of time alloted for each hole:
At the start of every event, the starter will announce the amount of time you are allotted to play the course. If the first group plays longer than the alloted time, they will be considered "out of position". For all of the groups following to be considered "out of position", they will have failed in two ways. First, they will have taken longer than the allotted time to play and an entire hole will be open ahead of them. We will notify a group when they are out of position and will give them a chance to regain their position. If a ruling or ball search has delayed the group causting them to become "out of position", the group wil be expected to regain their position within two holes. If they fail to regain their position, they will be subject to penalty. Once we have realized that a group is "out of position", monitoring will occur by a Rules Official or other RMJGT Staff Member. Each player is expected to play a shot in no longer than 40 seconds, excluding play on the putting green. Timing will begin once the player has reached his/her ball, it's his/her time to play and there are no distractions. Determining yardages will be considered as part of your shot and will be included in the timing. Penalties for being "out of position":
