You can also check out the team event on our portal. Visit the portal.

Jay and I have been receiving a number of complaints about the pace of play. Here are some pace of play guidelines.

Groups should focus on playing each hole in under or at 15 minutes.

15 minutes per hole =4 hours 30 minute round of golf ” Off the course @ noon”

keep up with the group in front of you at all times

If there is a hole open in front of your group

First Notification-GRGC Staff will alert you to the problem and ask your group to speed up and catch up

Second Notification-GRGC Staff will ask each member of the group to pick up and head to next hole

Pace of Play Tips:

Keep an eye on your ball and everyone else’s ball in the group

Limit ball searches to 3 minutes This is USGA rule

Be prepared to putt when it is your turn and finish out as opposed to marking your ball and waiting for for others to putt

We want all our players to enjoy playing golf and pace of play plays a big role . Keep up with the group in front of you.Enjoy

Thanks to Erik Hall and Steven Kengeter for those beautiful words about Rich Ritchie.

Some of you stll owe for our mandatory hole in one fee. The fee is $5.

If you are not playing this week please contact Jay ASAP @
