The team ahead has already reached the green, but we are still on our second shot.
The team behind is waiting at the tee box.
It is often not that one person is slow, but that delays occur because they are following the order.
Nowadays, we use Ready Golf. The person who is ready hits first.
01Original order and Ready Golf
| Original rule | Ready Golf | |
|---|---|---|
| T-box | Starting with the person with the best score on the previous hole | Starting with those who are ready |
| fairway | From the person furthest from the hole | Starting with those who are ready |
| green | From the person furthest from the hole | Starting with those who are ready |
Unless it is a professional tournament, ready golf is the standard. It is not a rule violation.
However, safety comes first. You shouldn't stand in a spot where the person in front of you might hit you.
02The real cause of the time-consuming
It's not a slow swing. Time is passing elsewhere.
- I didn't pick a club out of the cart.Go to the ball and come back.
- Can't find the ball3 minutes becomes 5 minutes, 7 minutes ([[LINK:L44]] section)
- Long read in GreenRead this in advance when someone else is playing.
- Hole out and record the score on the greenGo to the next tee box and write it down.
The ending is surprisingly big. If the four of you are writing down your scores on the green
The team behind can't hit their second shot. Please clear the green and go out to record it.
03Things to do before my turn comes
- Get off and take two or three clubs.If the distance is ambiguous, add one more up and one down.
- I look at the distance and the wind as I walk.If you wait until you arrive to measure, it will be too late.
- I finish my preparations when someone else hits.However, out of sight.
If I do this, I can hit it in 10 seconds on my turn.
[[LINK:L08]] You can just use the preparation order from that episode exactly as it is.
04Tips for using on the green
This is where the green gets the most congested.
- Look at the slope as you walk in ([[LINK:L16]] section)
- I read my line in advance when others are hitting.
- If there is little left, finish it off one after another. Don't step back and come back.
- It's faster if the person who finishes first holds the flagpole.
05Even so, if you fall behind
There are days when it can't be helped because the team ahead is slow. On those days.
- Please don't rush. There is a team ahead of us.
- If it is severe, please let the caddie know and they will take care of it.
- Loosen up or stretch while you wait. It prevents stiffness.
There are many cases where you wait and your body cools down, causing you to miss the next shot.
It is a good idea to get into the habit of rotating your shoulders once while standing and waiting.
06Fast people also hit well.
This is the interesting part.
People who prepare quickly actually play better because they don't have time to think.
The longer you stand, the more you think, and the more you think, the stiffen your body becomes.
It is in my best interest to speed things up as well.
And it makes the people playing together feel more comfortable. That is the reason I invite you again next time.
In the next part, I will cover packing the cart and clubs. It is a trivial matter, but it makes a difference.
