Slow Play If a group of golfers falls one clear hole behind the group in front, the slow group must invite the group behind it to play through. If play is delayed on account of a lost ball, the group playing behind should be invited to play through. Should either of these conditions occur and the group playing behind the slow group or behind the group with the lost ball is not invited to play through, it is the right and privilege of such group playing behind to ask permission to play through. The slow group of players or the group with the lost ball is then required to take positions on the course out of play and shall remain stationary until the invited group has played through. The invited group must play through once the invitation has been received, in order that following groups will not be delayed. A group also must step aside and let the group behind play through anytime the Player Assistants so instructs. Enforcement Play on the course is governed by USGA Rules, with the exception of any local rules which take precedence when printed on the scorecard or posted. The golf professional or the course marshal is empowered to enforce all golf course rules. Violation of any golf rule may result in a disciplinary letter being written to the player by the Manager. Such letter in the Member's file may be grounds for immediate suspension of golfing privileges and/ or termination of membership.
