About The Book
Playing ThroughIn a world of aggressively competitive sports, Golf remains unique, where camaraderie and etiquette play just as an important part as the game itself. In Peter Post's newest book, Playing Through: A Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Golf, the avid golfer helps both new and experienced players navigate the social expectations of golf. From appropriate dress attire to blind shots and "gimmies," Peter teaches players of all ages behavior that will not only improve your game, but also impress those around you.

Peter Talks Tips

Question
Peter- When a group ahead of you invites you to play through what are some things you can do to speed up the process?

Answer
It's great when a group will let you play through, and you're right to be thinking there are ways you can make the process faster for everyone.  Here are my top three tips for playing through:

1. Speed up

    a. Putt quickly- avoiding long contemplations about the putt
    b. Allow for gimmies (maybe any putt within 5ft of the hole is
    a gimmie).

    c. Institute a 2 putt rule- you get one chance to make your          putt, if you don't no matter where the ball is it's considered a       gimmie.
2. Be "Super-Ready"
    Being super-ready means being ready to go no hemming and       hawing over what club to use or if it's your turn in the                   rotation.  Simply, have your club ready, your angles thought          out and hit the ball as soon as you get a chance!
3. Be sure to say, "Thank-you"
