Pace of Play

The FSGA uses a checkpoint pace of play system at all competitions that it conducts in the state of Florida.  There are NO WARNINGS to the players and players are not timed.  Each group must complete each nine within the stated time or within 15 minutes of the group ahead or each player in the group will be subject to a one stroke penalty (additional two strokes for a second breach).  This pace of play policy places the full responsibility for pace of play on the players. Read the entire Check Point Pace of Play Policy.

The FSGA 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:
      Within 15 minutes of the group ahead, or
      Under the allotted time.
•    Checkpoints will be on holes #9 and #18.
•    All players in a group in breach are subject to penalty.
 
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.
