All of the facilities operated by the Dallas-based management firm are advocating faster play through implementation of suggested “Ready Golf” guidelines, promoted through a theme of “Better Pace. Better Game.”.
Dallas-based Eagle Golf has launched a pace-of-play program, “Better Pace. Better Game”, at the 31 golf courses that the management company operates, advocating for faster play through implementation of suggested “Ready Golf” guidelines
“The time it takes to play a round of golf has long been considered a barrier to playing the game,” said Joe Munsch, Eagle Golf’s CEO. “By promoting Ready Golf, we want golfers to continue to have a great time at our courses, but play at a pace that is enjoyable for everyone on the course.”
Through the initiative, Eagle Golf facilities will adopt a set of suggested guidelines aimed at improving pace of play while not rushing golfers and keeping the game fun. The Ready Golf suggested guidelines include:
• being ready to play when it is your turn
• being ready to play when your cart arrives at the tee box
• having your club and target selected when you get to your ball
• riding to your partner’s ball, then walking to yours
• taking several clubs from the cart to the ball
• lining up your putt while others are putting
• finishing short putts on the green rather than marking them
• switching cart drivers when necessary
• preventing the slowest player in the group from dictating pace of play
“Our objective with the Ready Golf initiative is to encourage fun,” Munsch added. “We always have an eye towards growing the game, and suggesting a few simple adjustments will make a round of golf a more efficient and enjoyable experience for new and inexperienced golfers.”
