Improve the Pace of Playby Jack Pultorak, FSGA Director of Rules and Competitions

“We had to wait on every shot! What took so long?”

How many times have you wondered what was taking that

group ahead of you so long to play? Were they slow? Was it the group in front of them or the one in front of them? How come they didn’t invite your group to play through? Were they lining up every putt from both sides? Did they think they were play-ing for a million bucks?

The biggest problem in golf to-day is pace of play. Many organiza-tions and clubs have addressed this problem by instituting policies for pace of play ranging from player timing checkpoints to actually hav-ing a group punch a time clock after each nine holes. Many have had suc-cess while others have not been so fortunate.

The Florida State Golf Associa-tion has aligned itself more closely with the policy used by the USGA.

We will continue to use officials to monitor groups without using color coded flags or cards and you will not see a time clock next to the ninth or eighteenth green for each group to punch!

The two main factors in pace of play are the size of the groups and the interval between starting times. Have you ever noticed how traffic slows to a crawl on a busy interstate? If you put a thousand cars bumper to bumper on the interstate, it’s go-ing to be slow going. If you were to let those same thousand cars get started with a quarter of a mile in between each of them, there would be no traffic!

At the recent United States Open Championship conducted by the USGA, the first two rounds were conducted at eleven minute inter-vals with groups of three. There was a dramatic improvement from the old six hour rounds. And on Saturday and Sunday, players were grouped in two at ten minute inter-vals. That resulted in a four hour round or less!

Granted, not all of us have the whole course to ourselves. Dollars and cents usually prohibit a club from using these grouping and in-terval sizes. You just can not get as many players on the golf course in a day and thus the revenue stream diminishes.

The FSGA currently uses groups of three at nine minute intervals for individual events and groups of four with ten minute intervals in four-ball or team events. Using smaller groups helps, but if the interval is not large enough between groups, you are starting players in that traf-fic jam instead of allowing the quar-ter mile gap!

Try it if you can. If you can in-crease the interval between groups and reduce the size of the groups while staying out of bankruptcy, you will find that the pace of play will improve and you will enjoy the game of golf much more!

Three Advance to US Open from Florida SectionalUS Open entries closed April 27 with a record number of entries this year. More than 9,400 competitors attempted to qualify in one of 107 local qualifiers across the country. From May 9-May 23, the FSGA conducted 17 local qualifiers and a sectional qualifier at Old Memorial Golf Club in Tampa on June 7. The sectional qualifier is one of only 14 across the country.

At Old Memorial, Lee Rinker earned medalist honors to advance to his fifth career US Open Championship. Nick Gilliam and Josh McCumber also advanced to the 105th U.S. Open Championship at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. Each of the three players qualifying from Old Memorial failed to make the cut but did have a good showing. Rinker shot a 76-74, Gilliam posted a 76-75 and McCumber carded a 73-80.

The field is now complete as 90 players have advanced to the 51st Florida State Boy’s Ju-nior Championship at Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club on August 1-3, 2005.

Competitors first must have qualified at one of the six sites across the state in 18 holes of stroke play. The Championship field will feature 90 of the top male amateur golfers in the state including qualifiers and exempt players. The field is divided into two age divisions; 13-15 junior division and 16-18 regular division. For the first time this year, competitors will play 54 holes of stroke play over the course of three days.

Palma Ceia is rich in tradition which was redesigned by Donald Ross in 1923. Gene Sarazen perfected the sand wedge at Palma Ceia in the bunker adjacent to the 9th green. Palma Ceia has also hosted many USGA and FSGA events and this year was the 50th anniver-sary of the Gasparilla Invitational.

Last year at The Golden Bear Club at Keene’s Pointe in Windermere, Judson Eustaquio, of Lake Worth, won the regular division with a 68-71—139 as Wesley Graham, of Port Orange, won the junior division shooting a 68-74—142. Eustaquio and Graham are set to defend their titles as Chappell Brown, of West Palm Beach, the current Florida Junior Tour (FJT) points leader in the 16-18 age division, and Eric Black, from Celebration, the 13-15 points leader, will also be competing for the title. The Champion of the Junior Championship receives 1500 points towards the FJT points standings. In addition, FJT members will earn points for finishing in the top 25 in the Junior Championship.

The Champion of the Regular division receives three exemptions into AJGA events. The top five from the Regular division receive two exemptions each into AJGA events and the top ten finishers will receive one exemption toward an AJGA open tournament. Additionally, the top 14 finishes in the 16-18 division will be invited to compete in the Florida State Junior Match Play Invitational. The top eight finishes in the 13-15 division will also be invited to compete in the Junior Match Play Invitational.

Boy’s Junior Draws Over 240 Applicants

Foundation Awards 3 ScholarshipsThe FSGA is pleased to announce that Gregory Pearl-man, Jocelyn Dunn and Brian Terrinoni are recipients of the Future of Golf Foundation scholarship. The Fu-ture of Golf Foundation is awarded annually to benefit juniors and the future of golf in Florida.

Gregory Pearlman, 18, from Avon Park, currently at-tends South Florida Community College where he main-tains a 3.5 GPA. Pearlman has been employed at High-lands Ridge Golf Club since 2002 and has worked his way to a golf shop attendant. An avid golfer, Gregory helps at the club with junior golf programs and clinics with hopes of being a head golf professional in the future.

Jocelyn Dunn, 17, of Sebring, is employed at Sebring Golf Club and formerly River Greens Golf Course. She re-cently graduated from Sebring High School and plans on attending Embry-Riddle Aerospace University in the fall to study aerospace engineering. Jocelyn has played varsity golf all four years of high school and will continue in col-lege.

Brian Terrinoni, 17, from Royal Palm Beach, will be attending Flagler College to study communications. Brian has competed in FSGA junior competitions and hopes to continue playing at Flagler.

The Future of Golf Foundation is a need and academic based program that provides college scholarships to ju-niors through FSGA member clubs and junior golfers in the state. The Foundation also assists juniors with entry and travel expenses to USGA National tournaments. In the past year, the FSGA has awarded more than $20,000 in scholarships and provided an additional $20,000 in grants.

FJT Season Wraps UpThe Florida Junior Tour (FJT) concluded its second sea-son in May at the Legacy Golf Club in Bradenton with the 13-15 age division while the 16-18 age division wrapped up in early May at University Park Country Club.

The 2004-2005 season was such a success with more than 600 juniors signing up for membership compared to 480 in the 2003-2004 season. The season was expanded to 13 events and each event featured a full field of competi-tive juniors! It also included the first 54-hole event of the Tour at Celebration Golf Club in March. This event had both age divisions competing over three days.

Next season, 14 tournaments are scheduled at great venues including Rio Pinar, Lake Jovita and University of Florida. Memberships are now available at www.floridajuniortour.org. For only $25, juniors receive a bag tag, Tour Member hat and scorecard holder. In addition, juniors are eligible for FJT competi-tions.

The FSGA Pro Shop has expanded to include FJT merchandise. We now carry FJT logo items in-cluding Ahead short sleeve windshirts and golf shirts. Visit the FSGA Pro Shop at www.fsga.org to see what we have to offer.

The Game has changed and there’s no denying it! Shaping shots is a thing of the past - the new way to win is to bang your drive out there 350 yards and then play a short-iron from wher-ever your drive ends up. Do I like the new game? No, not as much as the one I knew, but I think everyone looks back to when they learned the game as the days when the “game” was best played.

So how does the FSGA react to the “new game” in setting up golf courses for competition? One thing we never do is attempt to defend par. Our pri-mary goal is to identify the best play-ers. We establish the length of a course for a competition by considering the average age and capability of the com-petitors involved. If you are forty years old and playing in the Amateur Cham-pionship the course will feel long to you – but that’s because there are kids

out there half your age and they kill the ball. Is length our only consider-ation – of course not – but distance affects the ability to access tight hole locations and the ability to play from the rough. We like to see players oc-casionally using long-irons on shots other than their second shot to a par five.

The reality of the game is that ev-eryone is hitting the ball farther and there is reduced emphasis on the ability to hit a long-iron approach. Our course set-ups will continue to lengthen with the evolution of the game but we will try to identify the best players by testing all of their skills - not just their driver and their wedge play.

Sometimes we set-up courses so they are quite difficult to play, and sometimes we receive a few com-plaints. In all due respect, if you want

to play in a golf t o u r n a m e n t where the course is set-up at a moderate distance with hole locations near the center of the green - we are probably not your best choice. The FSGA conducts Championships and we hope that when you compete in our events you will feel that you have played under very challenging but fair conditions. May the best player win…
