In the sport of golf, there exists a mechanism to expedite play and maintain pace. This involves a predetermined upper limit to the number of attempts a player can make on any single section of the course. This rule, sometimes informally referred to as a maximum, aims to prevent excessively slow progress caused by struggling players.
The implementation of such a limit offers multiple advantages. It allows golfers to maintain a reasonable schedule, ensuring the entire group and subsequent groups are not significantly delayed. This enhances the enjoyment of the game for all participants. Historically, different forms of this regulation have been adopted by various clubs and organizations to manage the flow of play.
