I agree. I always try to remember when I first started when it comes to slow play. My gf(no pics) just started this year so it comes back to me yet again. I usually give some grace for about 2 holes then after you need to let someone play through.
I agree. I'll gladly stay on the cart path and walk across the fairway for my shot as long as I know where the next tee is.
I took a 2 year break for the same reason. My oldest son is autistic and the only sport he has shown an interest in without me bringing it up is golf so I got back into it this year so he could experience playing a real course.
I took a two year break from golf. I'm striking the ball decent but seems I hit a stinger over 50% of the time. I get that line drive landing and a hard skip/roll. I need to get in the lab and study my swing but can't justify the $ for it. Thankfully I'm a simpleton and just enjoy the outdoors and cold beer.
Just the worse. There needs to be something in fine print during their application.......
Nice, that's really cool. I do still have my clubs, maybe I should go to the driving range one of these days just for shits and giggles. There's absolutely no way possible I could be worse now than I was back then.
That really was my idea as well. I still struggle with a horrific slice with my Driver/3 Wood/Hybrid but learn to live with enjoying my iron shots and chipping. Thankfully I've always been a good to great putter so I usually end a hole on a good note.
Yup, thats me as well. I also remember hating it because my friends were all pretty good at it. So when we'd play, I spent the majority of the time away from everyone attempting to get the damn ball back on the fairway. It just wasn't fun for me.
Your first paragraph of that one great almost semi-pro shot is what keeps every damn local golf course alive financially.
I could see that. I am not a great golfer but I'm quick at locating my shot and tossing it somewhere decent to keep pace.
I like that attitude. I bring a speaker for tunes every round and never understood the silence thingThe insistence on absolute silence. An MLB batter has to swing a stick and hit a bb coming at 95mph AND try to put the ball where there’s no one to catch it while thousands of people are screaming. And if he can do that a third of the time he’s at the top of the game.
I carry almost every round. Only time I don't is when I take my kids out (which is about to change because they started Jr. PGA this year and have to walk in tournaments), golf with my dad, or it is some sort of event/tournament. Otherwise, I walk about 90-100 rounds a year. I can keep pace with carts in front of and behind me that play at a "normal" pace, but there are a couple of carters who are regulars that play speed golf. I'm not even sure they are even trying to hole out in as few strokes as possible. I think they gauge a successful round in how fast they can play it. Like combining golf and NASCAR.
I want to add to yours this one thing.......
I've noticed that this year. I swear people have a 10:00 AM tee time with a 1:00 PM engagement and are just a-holes about it.
This has to be the dumbest rule or non rule a game littered with them. Slow players should die. One of my best friends is insufferable.
I played behind a 6 (yes...6 some) of old f**ks just taking all the time. Course was wide open that morning. They had a 5 hole lead and I caught them on #7. They refused the let me play through. I buzzed past them at the turn and noticed at least a couple of the women give the "well...I never!!!!" look.
