Golf Pace of Play with Ashaunta Epps

LPGA Professional Ashaunta Epps explains essential strategies for maintaining proper pace of play on the golf course. She shares practical advice on establishing time targets per hole, limiting practice swings, positioning golf carts efficiently, and bringing multiple clubs to the ball.

• Focus on keeping up with the group ahead of you, aiming for 10 minutes on par 3s and 13-15 minutes on par 4s and 5s.
• Limit yourself to a maximum of 1 or 2 practice swings within a structured pre-shot routine.
• Position the golf cart centrally between players' balls so each golfer can walk efficiently to their shot.
• Take 2 to 3 clubs with you when walking to your ball to avoid walking back and forth to the cart.
• When within 50 yards of the green, grab both your wedge and putter before walking up.
