so this has been a hot topic for years and well im bored so i'd be curious about thoughts on golf specific to slow play, what's acceptable. what's not, strategies to play quicker, pet peeves, that sort of thing.
I will say that as i venture into my mid 40's, im not as anxious as i once was or as easily frustrated as i once was about (gasp) waiting a few minutes between each shots. i used to want to kill someone if i was out there for a 4 1/2 - 5 hour round but honestly, i've finally come to realize that it's golf, you are gonna wait, get over it or stay home.. obviously having beer with you helps too.
With that said, i'm not perfect and if im waiting too long, im probably gonna drill a ball into the back of the group's head in front of me. well at least i'll try and most likely miss. but with that said, do others find this to be still a huge issue?
One thing that jumps out at me is that EVERY Golfer seems to complain about slow play and everyone says they arent the problem but i've never once met or saw or heard of anyone saying that they dont play fast. so if everyone plays fast like they believe, why is everyone still complaining?
i'll admit im playing local public courses, they dont allow people like me on private country club courses so most of my experiences are stemming from your local courses..
Just curious of anyone else's thoughts on the subject.
