Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times. Some players may be embarassed if they find the course to be temporarily under repair. Players are advised to find alternative means of play when this is the case. The course owner is responsible for the manicuring and pruning of any bush around the hole to allow for improved viewing of, alignment with and approach to the hole. Players are advised to obtain the course owner's permission before attempting to play the back nine.
Slow play is encouraged.
However, players should be prepared to proceedat a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owner's request. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match. The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the best player.
