Pace of Play from the President of of EWGA Myrtle Beach

Slow Pace of Play has struck our EWGA chapter! As stewards of the game of golf and as leaders in representing women on the golf course, we pride ourselves in maintaining a satisfactory pace of play with a goal of 4.5 hours per round.

You should be always be ready to hit when the forward group has moved on. If you need a few helpful hints for faster play, please familiarize yourself with time-savings tips found in the new Player Handbook and make them part of your regular game.

Helpful Hint: If you can’t see the group in front of you, you're probably playing too slow! If you’re having problems and start falling behind more than one hole, be considerate and invite the EWGA group behind you to play through.
