Keep the game moving - Wave people through sooner (Pace of Play) The etiquette section in the Rules of Golf requires slower groups to wave faster groups through, yet often this doesn't happen. Golfers seem reluctant to be overtaken and we've all probably watched the group ahead start running between shots rather than waving us through. Similarly when players are searching for a ball, the call through (if it comes at all), is often too late to be of any real pace of play benefit. Don't be embarrassed to wave people through if they are clearly playing faster than you and the course ahead is clear. Nobody really likes feeling hassled and nobody really likes being held up. If you can't find your ball and the hole ahead is clear, call those behind through early in the search rather than waiting nearly five minutes.
