5 Tips to Playing Golf at a Better Pace from PGA Coach Andre Pillow

Published on

Improving your pace of play isn't about speeding around the course in your cart and rushing through every shot.
It's about being more thoughtful and efficient with your time, as well as the other golfers on the course that day.
PGA Coach Andre Pillow, the founder of DNA Golf Instruction, has 5 tips for golfers to consider that will help them improve their pace of play.
  1. Be on Time: Arrive at the course at least 20 minutes prior to your tee time. If you want to hit range balls or practice on the green, give yourself even more time.
  2. Know the Course Rules: Most scorecards and courses will have a timeline of how long you should be spending on each hole.
  3. Don't take too many practice swings: Taking too many practice swings only slows us down.
  4. Park your cart in the appropriate place: Avoid spending too much time walking back and forth from your cart to the ball.
  5. Be efficient at the turn: It's a great time to snag a snack or a cold drink, but don't spend too much time. Try ordering ahead while you're on the ninth hole so you can make an efficient turn.
