WE ALSO wish to remind all Men's Association Members of two upcoming tournaments. One will be on Aug. 23 and the club championship cham-pionship will be on Sept. 13 and 20. Professional Pointer: Slow play has become the biggest enemy of the game of golf. People who take as much as five or six hours for 18 holes have slowed golf play down and ruined the enjoyment en-joyment of it for many people. THE NATIONAL Golf Foundation, USGA, and Professional Golf Association have joined in an effort to help speed up play in order to make the game of golf as enjoyable en-joyable as possible. Beginning golfers and more advanced players can help in this effort. There is no reason why 18 holes cannot be played in four hours or less. By using common sense and some correct course courtesy, we can keep play moving on our public courses. Here are some pointers to help you speed up play. BEFORE STARTING play plan on playing a nine hole round in less than two hours; if you should run into trouble or if you fall behind the group ahead of you by one hole or more, stand aside and wave the following group to pass. Be prepared to hit each shot as soon as it is your turn; avoid taking excessive time on putting greens when one person has putted. The others should be ready to hit their balls as soon as possible too. All players should finish putting put-ting out whenever possible. ABOVE ALL, be considerate con-siderate of those playing behind you. If for any reason you are playing slower than the groups following, stand aside and wave the following group through. Bountiful Golf Course will be using a Course Marshall to help educate beginning players and help with the problems of slow play and course abuse. THE COURSE Marshall will have a special vehicle in which to patrol the golf course. He will be charged with keeping play flowing smoothly and will correct any violations that may occur.
