1. Play "Ready Golf"!! Forget about "Honors," if you are ready to hit and it is safe, go ahead and hit!!! 

2. Do all your pre-shot routine while others are hitting their shot, as long as you do not distract them. 

3. Line up your putt while others are doing the same, then be ready to putt when it's your turn. 

4. Limit your practice swings to no more than 2. 

5. Park your Cart or Pull Cart behind the green rather than leaving it in front so the group behind doesn't have to wait for you to walk back to your cart and then move out of the way before hitting! 

6. If you are putting out and the hole ahead is open, go right to the next tee and tee off while the rest of your group finishes putting out. No need for all 4 of you to watch the last 2 people putt out. 

7. When sharing a cart, drop one person off to hit their shot then drive to your shot and hit yours. Then pick the person back up as they walk down the fairway. 

8. If a player is having trouble getting out of a bunker offer to rake the bunker while he goes on to hit his next shot. 

9. Wait to mark your scorecard until you are in the cart and driving to the next tee. Discuss scores at the next tee rather than on the green. 

10. If players behind you are ready to hit, carry your clubs to the cart, hold on to them, drive to your next shot and then put them into your golf bag. 

11. "Lost Ball" Guideline: If you are having trouble finding your ball, the rule is "3 minutes." If the hole in front is open, consider letting the group behind play through while you look and then keep up with them. 

12. Report to the 1st tee on time so you can tee off and keep up with the group in front, right from the start.
