Pace of Play Requirements
Players are mandated to play in the time established by the NYSGA. If a player is unable to do so, he or she may not be able to participate in future events. Some quick pace of play tips:
- PLAY READY GOLF... this is approved by the Rules as long as it is done safely.
- CONTINUOUS PUTTING... if you putt and only have a short distance left, putt out.
- Prepare for your stroke before it is your turn
- Move quickly between shots and between holes
- Take no more than 40 seconds to play a shot.
Rules Officials To Help During Play
The NYSGA has terrific volunteer Rules officials who will be available to help with rulings on the golf course and monitor pace of play. They are there to help, so feel free to ask them questions on the Rules or just say hello! The NYSGA will also provide the head official's phone number on each scorecard in case you have a question during play.
Returning Scorecards
The NYSGA is now utilizing two scorecards per group (two players per card). When the round is completed, the player keeping score must confirm the hole-by-hole scores with each player and then all three players (marker and two scorers) must sign the scorecard.
Groups must return their two scorecards to the scoring area immediately upon returning to the clubhouse.
Do not delay in returning your group's scorecard as this will impact how quickly we can announce prizes.
Prizes and Breaking Ties
Ties are broken using the USGA recommended method of matching scorecards. The top-finishers will be awarded prizes immediately following the last group handing in their signed scorecards. Unclaimed prizes will remain at the host club pro shop for players to pick-up at a later date.
