- Play from the proper tee. If your handicap index plus your age is over 90, then you should play from the gold tees.
- Don’t wait to tee off based on who has honors, or wait until you are the furthest from the hole to safely hit.
- Prepare in advance. Determine shot distance and choose your club while others are hitting.
- Minimize pre-shot routines including practice swings. There are statistics indicating more than one practice swing/shot adds 30 minutes or more to your round.
- Don’t over analyze. Don’t obsess over putting lines. Read your putt while others are putting and be ready to go when it is your turn.
- Hit provisional shots when your ball might be lost. There is a USGA Rule limiting searches to 3 minutes after arriving at the search location.
- Net Double Bogey is the maximum CCMGA score allowed. Pick up before your next shot if it is for net double bogey.
- Pick up! If you can’t improve your team’s score, then pick up and move on.
