The SNGA has developed multiple Pace of Play Policies to meet the needs of specific types of events and to accommodate the varying amount of volunteers at SNGA Events. A Pace of Play Guideline will be posted at the first tee of every SNGA event and will be available for review by all competitors before the start of competition.

Pace of Play with Checkpoints

The Pace of Play with Checkpoints guidelines are set forth so that USGA Rule 6-7. Undue Delay; Slow Play is utilized. When a group is out of position AND over on time at the check-point, the players in the group are liable to penalty under these guidelines. Players in a group that has missed one or more check-points will be liable to a penalty according to the following schedule of penalties pending final determination of whether a breach or breaches of these guidelines have occurred.
Before each round the tournament committee will determine the time allotted to finish each round based on weather conditions, size of field, pairing sizes, and other factors. The committee will also post the Pace of Play Policy being used for the event and have a copy available at the first tee for reviewal.

Pace of Play with Monitors

The Pace of Play with Monitors guidelines are set forth so that USGA Rule 6-7. Undue Delay: Slow Play is utilized. Each monitor will be assigned a specific number of groups to watch. Those monitors have the authority to assess the guidelines of the Pace of Play Policy at any time during the course of play.

The first group to start will be considered out of position if, at any time during the round, the group is behind the prescribed schedule as detailed on the Pace of Play Time Chart which will be held by each monitor. Any following group will be considered out of position if it (a) is taking more than the allotted time to play and has put the flag in the hole more than 15 minutes after the group in front of them did. Both (a) and (b) must apply for a group to be in breach of pace of play.

Before each round the tournament committee will determine the time allotted to finish each round based on weather conditions, size of field, pairing sizes, and other factors. The committee will also post the Pace of Play Policy being used for the event and have a copy available at the first tee for reviewal.
