3. Keep power carts on cart paths around greens and tee box areas.

Speed of Play
Slow play detracts from everyone’s enjoyment of the game. Accordingly, golfers playing the Links Golf Course are permitted to do so on the condition that they KEEP PACE and complete their round in under 4:15 hours. It only takes one slow group to back up the entire course behind them. Be considerate of others and keep pace. Hints to improve your speed of play:

Limit the search for lost balls to two minutes.
If your stroke count for a hole reaches double par, pick up your ball and proceed to the next tee.
Hit when ready, even if you are not “away.”
After taking your first putt, continue until you hole out.
Gold tees are recommended for use by players with an 8 handicap or lower.

The Course Marshal
The Marshal is primarily responsible for ensuring, ON BEHALF OF YOU AND YOUR FELLOW GOLFERS, that an appropriate speed of play is maintained and course etiquette is observed. His directives MUST be adhered to.
