You will receive arrival instructions within your tee time assignment. Arrival instructions may differ between courses, as well may change over time. Please always fully read your tee time assignments.

Instructions include:

1. Where WGN will be set up at the course.
2. Where to retrieve your power cart if opted for one.
3. Where to drop your clubs, or if you can take your cart to the parking lot.
4. Your Assigned Cart Number.

1. A Women’s Golf Network representative will be there waiting to meet you.
2. WGN Cart Number signs are attached to the carts, this is the cart number you received with your Tee Time.
3. Simply locate your assigned cart number and load your clubs onto the back and we'll introduce you to your playing partner.
4. If the course provides warm up balls, a basket will typically either be on the floor of the cart or you will be given a code for the machine.

1. Please be courteous to your tee time group by being on time. If you are running late, please call or message the Women’s Golf Network phone line to let us know, and we can arrange to have you carted out to your group on the course.
2. Please be lined up to the first tee, no less than 5 minutes prior to your tee time.

The most important thing in regards to etiquette and respecting the other players in your tee time is to maintain pace of play.

WGN organizes the tee times with faster paced players teeing off at the front, as the front sets the pace for the rest of the line.

There are two things to look for in maintaining pace:

1. Keeping the group in front of you in sight. You can only play as fast as the group in front of you, therefore, keeping pace with the group in front is the best way of maintaining the pace on the course.
2. Watching for a line up of groups behind you. If you see a group following closely behind you, and you cannot see the group in front of you, this is a good indicator that your group has dropped pace and needs to pick up.

Etiquette is very important and as a community, we represent a larger group. I believe it goes without saying that we have a responsibility to be respectful of the golf course property, regulations, equipment, fairways and the greens. Please take care and individual responsibility for not only the possession of carts, but also to be mindful of other players.

Key points for course etiquette:

• Be quiet while others are hitting their shots.
• Limit your mulligans to one or two per round.
• Limit your practice swings to two per shot.
• Mark your ball when on the green while others are putting.
• Do not walk in-between a player’s, or your own, ball and the hole on the green.
• Replacing or filing your divots in the fairway.
• Repairing ball marks on the green.
• Yelling “FORE!” when you hit a shot towards other golfers.

There are 3 things you can do to pick up the pace.

1. Play ready golf:
   • Refrain from standing around
   • Be ready with your clubs for your shot
   • Shoot one player after the other to speed up the pace.
2. Pick up your ball. If you have fallen back in pace, cannot see the group in front of you, and see a group directly behind you, it may be best to vote as a team to pick up your balls, move forward, and drop in appropriate place to put you back on pace. For example you may pick your ball off the fairway and drop it on to the green to finish that hole quickly and be back on pace teeing off on the next hole.
3. Play best ball. As a team, you may vote to play out the current hole speeding up the game and playing best ball, putting your team back on pace and normal play for the next hole.

1. Spot each others ball. It’s amazing how much time can be saved looking for your ball, when you have teammates spotting it for you. Picking out landscape markers, and pointing you in the right direction of your ball.
2. Limit the amount of time you search for balls, try to keep it to a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes. You may help other search for their ball but if it is your turn, be sure to keep the game moving while others are looking.
3. Be mindful of how many practice swings you take, as well as how many times you hit off the tee. Taking a handful of practice swings and or multiple hits off the tee can slow down the game significantly.
