North Shore Pace of Play Policy.

Pace of Play:

The host Golf Professional Staff/ Marshalls monitor pace of play for North Shore events using the following guidelines solely at their discretion. Each four-some (group) is expected to complete their round within 4 hours and 20 minutes. Each group is responsible for monitoring their own pace of play.

Proper position is staying up with the group ahead of them or no more than 14 minutes behind them to complete a round in 4 hours and 20 minutes. Players should never have an open hole ahead of them. Groups should be in the fairway on a par 4 and par 5 when the group ahead of them leaves the green and should have hit their approach shot on par 3 by the time the group ahead of them leaves the tee box on the hole ahead of them. The first group out will be monitored at the discretion of the Golf Professional Staff/ Marshals in a manner that encourages a completed round in 4 hours and 20 minutes and in a manner, that groups behind them are not being held up.

The format of play is four-ball match play. When a stroke is conceded or if a player is out of the hole the player should pick-up. For score posting purposes the player should post his most likely score.

When the Golf Professional Staff/Marshals determine that a group is out of position a warning will be given to the group encouraging the group to get back into position. If the group continues to stay out of position the Golf Professional Staff/Marshals may at their discretion have the group skip a hole and the scoring for the skipped hole will be halved.
