Rule 5 - Playing the Round

5.2 Practising on Course Before or Between Rounds

5.3 Starting and Ending Round

5.3a/3 – Meaning of “Ready to Play” The term “ready to play” means that the player has at least one club and ball ready for immediate use. For example, if a player arrives at his or her starting point by the starting time with a ball and a club (even if just the player’s putter), the player is considered ready to play. Should the player decide to wait for a different club when it is his or her turn to play, he or she may get a penalty for unreasonably delaying play (Rule 5.6a). 5.3a/4 – Player at Starting Point but Then Leaves Starting Point When a player is ready to play at the starting point, but then leaves the starting point for some reason, the Rule that applies depends if he or she is ready to play at the starting point at the starting time. For example, a player’s starting time is 9:00 am and he or she is ready to play at the starting point at 8:57 am. The player realizes that he or she left something in a locker and leaves the starting point to get it. If the player does not arrive back at the starting point at 9:00:00 am, the player is late to his or her starting time, and Rule 5.3a applies. However, if the player was ready to play at the starting point at 9:00 am and then went to his or her locker, the player may get the penalty under Rule 5.6a (Unreasonable Delay) since he or she satisfied the requirement of Rule 5.3a by being ready to play at the starting point by the starting time. 5.3a/5 – Match Starts on Second Hole When Both Players Late When both players in a match arrive at the starting point ready to play no more than five minutes after their starting time and neither has experienced exceptional circumstances (Exception 3), they both get a loss of hole penalty and the result of the first hole is a tie. For example, if the starting time is 9:00 am and the player arrives at the starting point ready to play at 9:02 am and the opponentOpponent: The person a player competes against in a match. The term opponent applies only in match play. arrives ready to play at 9:04 am, they both get a loss of hole penalty even though the player arrived before the opponentOpponent: The person a player competes against in a match.
