When waiting on the tee for the group in front to clear the fairway, don t be so strict about order of play. Let the short hitter who can t reach the group ahead anyway go ahead and hit. If you are unsure whether your ball has come to rest out of bounds, or may be lost, immediately hit a provisional ball so that you won t have to return to the spot to replay the shot. Walk at a good pace between shots. Use the time you spend getting to the ball to think about the next shot the yardage, club selection etc. Be ready to hit when it s your turn to play. When chipping around the green, carry both the club you ll be chipping with plus your putter so you don t have to return to the bag. Begin reading the green and lining up putts as soon as you reach the green. Don t wait until it s your turn to putt. Try to leave your bag where you will exit the green. Mark your scorecard after reaching the next tee, not while lingering on or near the just completed green. Leave your mobile phone in the car. APP 3 :- Hole by Hole speed of play
