Thank you Metro Seniors
In our first two weeks we have seen very significant improvement in Pace of Play in every Division.
2016 Season averages for were:
- Split Tee Starts – 4:49
- Shotgun Starts – 5:13
Our first two weeks for 2017 were: Split Tee – 4:23 Shotgun – 4:30
Many factors including weather are part of this, but member awareness and focus on Ready Golf are the keys.
We still have a few slow tee groups. The slowest Tee Groups are still a full hour longer than the fastest groups on some outings. These slow groups still block several groups behind. One player can slow down as many as 20 players behind.
Very encouraging are the times for Columbia, Aberdeen, Landings, and Dardenne. The slowest to fastest times were closer together (20 to 45 minutes difference). These were also relatively crowded courses. Everybody was keeping up, staying together.
The table below is Times by Division for week 1 and 2.
Below (PDF file) is a more detailed summary of the Pace of Play Logs. This includes the times for each tee group. You can see your group time and how it stacked up with the field. I have highlighted the “slowest” groups in YELLOW for each outing. This is based on total play time and “Time Lost” against the groups ahead.
The groups in CYAN were blocked/slowed by the group ahead.
These summaries DO NOT have Member IDs. However, the full details with member identification has been shared with the Division VPs and the Pace Of Play Committee.
If your group was “slow” you may want to see what you can do to speed up. Starting June 1, tee groups that are significantly and consistently slow will enter enforcement (warnings through expulsion if they do not improve.)
