Pace of Play See separate 2018 CWAC Pace of Play Policy.

4 2018 CWAC PACE OF PLAY POLICY Stroke Play PACE OF PLAY: Rule 6-7 states, in part: The player shall play without undue delay and in accordance with any pace of play guidelines which may be laid down by The Committee, and thereafter prescribes penalties for slow play. In order to prevent any such penalty, we suggest that you review carefully the following guidelines. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE TIME: Scorecards have printed on them the MAXIMUM allowable time to complete the play of each hole based on a group s scheduled starting time. These times are established based on the difficulty of the course and the ability of the field. They include time to search for lost balls and deal with other common occurrences encountered during play. A normal speed of play should result in completing play FASTER than the time indicated on the scorecard. If a group falls behind, they must play efficient golf and make up the lost time. This might mean playing ready golf or continuous putting, which are both permitted in stroke play. It is the PLAYERS RESPONSIBILITY to know their group s position relative to the published Pace of Play and to ensure they play within the published limits. Failure to play within the Pace of Play guidelines will result in a penalty of two strokes. The Rules Committee only may communicate with groups throughout the stipulated round regarding their pace of play position, but are not required to do so. NO WARNINGS ARE ISSUED. LEAD GROUP(S): The lead group(s) must finish their stipulated round within the maximum allowable time established by the Committee. If they finish over their maximum allowable time, each player will be assessed a penalty of two strokes to their score for the final hole. Exception: If the lead group is delayed by play that was sent out before them or that began on the opposite tee, they will be exempt from penalty if they finish over their maximum allowable time but within 14 minutes of the group in front of them. FOLLOWING GROUPS: Any subsequent group must finish their stipulated round within the maximum allowable time established by the Committee. If they finish over the maximum allowable time, they must finish within 14 minutes of the group in front of them. If they finish over the maximum allowable time and more than 14 minutes behind the group in front of them, each player will be assessed a penalty of two strokes to their score for the final hole. EXEMPTION FROM PENALTY: If a group does not finish within their maximum allowable time or within 14 minutes of the preceding group due to circumstances which the Committee deems to be exceptional, but was otherwise in position during the play of the final four holes, the Committee MAY determine not to assess the penalty. Being in position means to be immediately behind the preceding group. GROUPS MAY BE MONITORED: If a player believes that her group is being delayed by the play of another player(s) in her group she should first address the issue with the player(s) involved. If she believes this discussion was ineffective, she may indicate to a Tournament Official on the course that she would like to have her group monitored. The Committee may also monitor a group that is failing to play within the maximum allowable time, whether or not a player has requested it. If the Committee identifies that a player(s) in the group is the cause of the group failing to maintain pace of play and determines other players are playing within the requirements of this policy, those meeting the requirements of this policy may be absolved from penalty while others may not. UNDUE DELAY: If the Committee determines that a group or player(s) in a group are failing to play in accordance with the established guidelines severely disrupting the play of fellow-competitors or following groups, the player(s) or group may be subject to penalty for undue delay. Penalties for undue delay are independent of penalties issued under the above pace of play policy (see Rule 6-7). The CWAC Committee reserves the right to review all penalty situations.

OUT OF BOUNDS: Out of bounds is defined by the inside edge of all public roads and wood fences bordering the golf course, and white stakes and lines, where applicable. A ball crossing the inside edge of a public road that comes to rest on or beyond the road is out of bounds, even though it may have come to rest on part of the course. The public road in front of Shore #11 tee is an immovable obstruction and is not a boundary during play of that hole. IMMOVABLE OBSTRUCTIONS: Cart Paths: Cart paths that are improved with artificial surfaces, e.g., concrete, asphalt, or gravel, are considered immovable obstructions. Cart paths through the sand without artificial surfaces are considered an integral part of the course, and relief without penalty is not available. Railroad Ties and Edging Stones Adjacent to Cart Paths: Railroad ties and edging stones that are used as curbing for cart paths are immovable obstructions. If the cart path is also considered an immovable obstruction, the railroad ties/edging stones are considered part of the cart path and one obstruction.

If a ball lies through the green and an immovable obstruction on or within two club-lengths of the putting green and within two club-lengths of the ball intervenes on the line of play between the ball and the hole, the player may take relief by lifting and dropping the ball at the nearest point to where the ball lay which is not nearer the hole, avoids intervention and is not in a hazard or on a putting green. Relief under this Local Rule is permitted only when the ball and the immovable obstruction lie in a closely-mown area. DRESS CODE: Players must wear slacks and collared shirts.
