If these clocks display a time after your tee time, you are playing behind the pace of play and should pick up your pace. If you fall behind and are not able to pick up your pace, you may be asked to pick up your ball and skip ahead to the next hole to catch up to the group in front of you.

The Chequessett staff will assign your boat storage location as well. Within that location you are entitled to store your boat and any dolly or small trailer that is needed to put the boat in the water.
