Pace of Play
Designated Leader/Captain

 Pace of Play is very important in every round of golf.  In competition, players can be assessed strokes or loss of hole.  It is also a courtesy to your fellow golfers (in your foursome and those behind you) not to take an excessive amount of time getting to your ball or taking too many practice strokes before hitting the ball.  
 
"Ready golf" is not only encouraged, it is preferred during non-competition golf outings.
 
At future chapter events, a foursome leader/captain will be designated to help keep play moving along.  Thanks for your cooperation.

 This Saturday, July 28th, Monarch Bay Golf Course in San Leandro will have Nike and Callaway drivers, fairway woods, irons, and wedges at discounted prices.  Try them out on the driving range before you buy.
