Play Through

The courtesy procedure where a faster-playing group is allowed to pass a slower group ahead, helping maintain appropriate pace of play and prevent course backups. Play through situations require communication, cooperation, and proper etiquette from both groups to execute safely and efficiently. The slower group should invite faster groups to play through when gaps develop ahead of them, while faster groups should be patient and courteous when requesting to pass. Understanding play through etiquette is essential for maintaining good pace of play and positive course experiences for all golfers.
