Reminders on Golf Etiquette and Pace of Play, High Water Levels


Dear <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>,


As the temperatures are warming up, the courses are greening up nicely and the number of golfers at the courses is increasing. 

Golf is a wonderful sport that was invented in Scotland in the 1450's; although some historians believe that golf is similar to an ancient Roman game called "paganica" or a Chinese game called "chuiwan".  Regardless of its origin, golf is a beloved sport that has increased in popularity again recently.  With the number of people playing golf these days, we wanted to remind players about pace of play and golf etiquette.
 

Pace of Play Reminders

Typical pace of play to play 18 holes of golf should not exceed 4 hours and 30 minutes; 9 hole play should not exceed 2 hours and 15 minutes.  Warm Springs expected pace of play is 4 hours and 20 minutes, while Quail Hollow's expected pace of play is 4 hours and 30 minutes.  Here are some tips to keep pace while playing golf:

  1. Arrive on time for your tee time.  Factor in time if you plan to use the driving range before playing.
  2. Play from the appropriate tee markers for your playing ability.
  3. Plan your shot before you get to your ball.
  4. Keep your pre-shot routine brief.
  5. Play ready golf.  When riding in a cart don't wait for your cartmate to hit then drive to your ball, rather, walk to your ball with a couple clubs and have your cartmate pick you up.
  6. Be helpful to others in your group.  Help locate lost balls, rake bunkers or attend the flagstick as needed.
  7. Keep up with the group in front of you; please do not hit into the group in front of you.
  8. Be effiicient on the greens.  Mark your ball, continue to play ready golf, leave clubs on side of green closest to next tee, then exit green quickly and record scores on the next tee.
  9. Have fun!


Etiquette Reminders


Some of the etiquette reminders also help pace of play, while other etiquette reminders help make the round more enjoyable for everyone on the course.
  1. Arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your tee time, giving yourself time check in at the pro-shop then time to warm up prior to hitting the first tee.
  2. Avoid slow play (see above Pace of Play).
  3. Be quiet while other are hitting their shots.
  4. Maintain the course by replacing divots, raking bunkers, repairing ball marks on the greens, and staying on cart paths.
  5. While on the green, don't step on playing partners  putting line or stand in a position that is distracting to other players.
  6. Keep your cellphone sound turned off and stay off your phone while playing your round. 
  7. Did you bring music to the course?  Ask your playing partners if they are okay with music being played.  Any music/speakers should be kept at a volume that does not disturb other players on the course.
  8. Have fun!

High Water Levels


Please be cautious of high water levels at the courses this spring.  With the warmer temperatures, the snowpack is melting fast causing high water levels in both the Boise River near Warm Springs Golf Course and the streams/creeks that run through Quail Hollow Golf Course.  Keep an eye out for wet areas throughout the golf courses, and please follow any course signage/detours.  Our grounds crew is closely monitoring water levels and making adjustments as necessary.
