Tips & Warnings

• Calling groups up takes place only on par 3 golf holes.
• Call the preceding group up only if there is a delay on the tee box.
• Make sure that, when the following group acknowledges your calling them up, your group has moved away from the green so that nobody is struck by an incoming golf ball.
• Watch all golfers tee off and follow the trajectory of their shots. Extremely errant shots can be dangerous even if you are standing far off the green.

on 11/22/2005 I think you should place more warnings on your instructions. In many countries, calling up on par 3's is totally banned, as insurance companies have recognized the danger. It is doubtful whether this old practice actually speeds up play.
