Guide:
This link will help you understand how the club works, and get you playing and enjoying the game
of golf. If you still have questions, please email us at shorelinesenior@yahoo.com.
Mondays: Mondays: Before the Round Shoreline Golf Links believes that a
reasonable pace of play is a key ingredient in a pleasurable golf experience.
The term "reasonable" translates into that pace in which all
foursomes play such that none of them are kept waiting to hit their shots. Or put another way, your place on
the course is immediately behind the group in front of you, not immediately in
front of the group behind you. A number of the Senior Club members
also serve as Volunteer Marshals at the course, so they have a special
sensitivity to slow play. This desire for a 4 hour round is most strongly felt
by those with the earlier tee times, and as at most courses, the pace slows
down as the day goes on. Our Goal Is eighteen Holes in 4 1/2 Hours Or Less. It isn't that we are not a friendly
bunch, but many players like to play at a regular time with a regular group. When you first join, you will be assigned a random open slot on the tee time sheet. As you become a 'regular', you can request to play with particular players or at a particular time, but longevity with the club usually takes precedence regarding honoring conflicting requests. Sometimes movement to a different group and a different time is unavoidable. Some club members find it interesting and energizing to play with various club members with different skill levels and different personalities. We will try to accommodate your particular requests.

Out on the Course
We swap scorecards with another member of the
foursome. Make sure your scorecard has the following: the date, your name legibly printed (important), and
your handicap. Read the "Club Local Rules" link on the the website for details about play. One of them says "No 'Gimmies,'
no 'Mulligans.'" We mean it. You are not
finished with a hole until you putt the ball into the hole! Play "Ready
Golf." Observe the Golden Rule: replace your divots, fix ball marks, rake all
traces of your visit to any of the bunkers.
After the Round
Have your scorer sign your card, and then you sign attesting the score.
Make sure you have filled the score card completely with your first initial
and last name clearly legible and your current course handicap entered in the
space provided. Drop the score card
in the box next to the posting computer. Failure to do any of the above will
result in disqualification from the tourney prize money. Later, post your score on the GHIN website to keep your handicap current and correct. There is a link to posting scoresand checking your handicap on our website.Pace of Play:
