Pace of Play The Southern Maryland Amateur policy leaves the responsibility for maintaining the pace of play where it belongs, with the player. Efficient pace of play is a huge factor in a successful and positive Southern Maryland Amateur experience for all participants in accordance with Rule 6-7 of the USGA® Rules of Golf. Lead Groups The first group(s) must finish their first nine holes within the maximum allotted time established by the committee which is 2 hours 15 minutes. If the lead group finishes over the maximum allotted time after nine holes, each player in the group will be assessed a 2-stroke penalty on their 9th hole. The first group(s) off each tee must also finish 18 holes within the maximum allotted time established by the committee which is 4 hours 30 minutes. Failure to finish under this maximum allotted time for 18-holes will result in a 2-stroke penalty, which will be assessed to the score on the final hole of play. Following Groups - A 2-stroke penalty will be assessed to any group failing to complete their 9th hole within 14 minutes of the group in front of them AND over their maximum allotted time - A 2-stroke penalty will be assessed to any group failing to complete their 18th hole within 14 minutes of the group in front of them AND over their maximum allotted time - Players are advised of the following: - Rules officials are not required to notify a player and/or group that they are behind. - Each group is responsible for monitoring its own pace. Being in position means to be immediately behind the group in front of you. - As a courtesy to each player, the pace of play policy will be reiterated on the starting hole - As a courtesy to each player, the maximum allotted time will be on your official scorecard Concerned Players and Appeals A player concerned about slow player(s) 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. If a player is identified as holding up the pace of the group, penalties may be applied to that player and rescinded from the others. 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.
