Speed of Play is a perpetual problem in modern golf and the DOGS will strive to gain a reputation for NOT being part of that problem. The following guidelines are intended to be read in conjunction with the DOGS local rules and are intended to ensure we are the fastest golfers out there. Remember - if you are having a clear run at the course but the group behind are waiting to tee off and watching you putt every green then you are doing it WRONG!
Don't stand on ceremony! DOGS don't need no etiquette, no protocols, and certainly no honours!
Be ready to hit when it's your turn! - make sure you have figured out which club to use and have your glove on in good time. Don't wait for the dust to settle from the other Doggy's shot before going to your ball and starting the process.
Hit your shot before helping search for a lost ball if you are nearby. In the time you have hit your ball the lost ball may well have been found.
Don't dawdle on the course! - Walk with intent!
Keep on putting once you have started putting! Unless there is a very good reason not too, keep going until you have holed out. This is one of the biggest time savers on the course.
Don't mark score cards on the green you just putted out on. Head directly for the next tee and sort out the scoring over there, preferably while somebody hits off!
