Pace of Play
In order to accommodate 96
players, it is essential that the game be played at a brisk pace which may be
defined as 4:30 in groups of four during the Championship rounds. The pace of play will be monitored. If and when it should become necessary to
speak to teams or individual players about slow play, we hope they will react
with the understanding that we do it in the best interest of the Championship
and the other players. The pace of play
for the Championship will be posted on the Notice to Players.
Revised FSGA Pace of Play Heres a big change so read through this
one! The change is that after
we notify your group that you are out of position, there will be no next step
warning for a player who subsequently has a bad time. Any players subsequent
bad time will result in a one shot penalty. The language you will hear from an
official is Gentlemen, your group is out of position and on the clock. Any
player who takes more than the allotted time will be penalized while your group
is out of position. If you
have any questions regarding the new Pace of Play Policy, please talk to an
FSGA Tournament Director
Carts
All players must ride during the Championship
rounds. No one other than the players
may ride in the cart. This includes
caddies and spectators.

table outside the pro shop prior to the first round. All contestants are
requested to check in. You will receive a tee favor
and tournament information at the registration table.
