  27. Florida State Golf AssociationCHAMPIONSHIP PACE OF PLAY POLICY

  28. The FSGA Championship Pace of Play Policy utilizes a two checkpoint system. • Players will not receive warnings. • Each group is responsible for monitoring their own pace. • To avoid penalty, groups must complete each checkpoint hole: • Under the allotted time, or • Within 15 minutes of the group ahead. • Checkpoints will be on holes #9 and #18, unless otherwise indicated. • All players in a group in breach of the pace of play policy at any checkpoint are subject to penalty.

  29. PENALTIES • First Breach of Round = 1 stroke penalty to each player in the group. • Second Breach of Round = additional 2 stroke penalty to each player in the group.

  30. NOTIFICATION • Any group that completes a checkpoint hole in breach of the pace of play policy will be verbally notified by an Official. Officials at checkpoints should never be confronted. • It is the player’s responsibility to recognize when a breach has occurred at each checkpoint and penalties must be recorded on their scorecards. Penalties are to be added to the checkpoint hole the group was notified of the breach.

  31. POSITION • First Group(s) off Either Tee – The first group(s) will be in breach of the pace of play policy if they take more than the allotted time to finish a checkpoint hole until they reach (within 15 minutes) any group ahead. After they reach a group ahead, both conditions must be met to be in breach of the pace of play policy.  • Position with Group Ahead – To stay within 15 minutes of the group ahead, players should never have an open hole and they should be in the fairway on par 4’s and 5’s when the group ahead leaves the green.

  32. CONCERNED PLAYERS AND APPEALS • A player concerned about slow players in a group should first remind that player of the pace of play policy and encourage them to play more efficiently. The concerned player may, before or after penalties are assessed, request an Official to monitor the group. • Appeals for exceptional situations will be considered only in the scoring area after the completion of the round and prior to the return of a player’s scorecard.

  33. MEMORANDUM TO COACHES • A Coach is not considered part of the player’s side and therefore is not directly subject to the Rules of Golf; nevertheless, there are certain actions that a coach could take which might result in a penalty to the player, e.g. if a coach’s action were sanctioned, tacitly or otherwise by the player, he might be penalized. • Some examples of actions by his coach that could result in a penalty to the player would be…improving a line of play, moving loose impediments or obstructions in violation of the Rules, disregard for the provisions of Rule 14-2 Assistance and violation of putting green and flagstick restrictions.

  34. MEMORANDUM TO COACHES • Responsibilities of a competitor in this regard are supported by Decision 13-2/4, 13-2/33, and 13-2/36 of the Decisions on the Rules of Golf. • In the best interest of the competition and in an effort to minimize and difficult situations, the Committee trusts that all competitors, coaches and officials respect the principle of obeisance to the Rules, proper conduct, and fair play in the Spirit of the Game.

  35. Officials The FSGA will be the officials for the tournament. They will make rulings. The Jury of Appeals or FHSAA course administrator will make rulings on violations of the FHSAA Golf Manual.
