Slow Play November 23, 2004, 9:20 am

by George H Parker
As a Brit I always find it difficult to understand why in the US there is always this thing about slow play. There are very few courses in the UK that employ Rangers to keep play going yet we rarly exceed 4 hours for a 4 ball and it is usuall quicker for a 3 ball. It may be that here in the UK we carry on the socialising when we get back to the club house for at least an hour in addition to what we do on the course. Even here though there is a distinct difference in attitude slow play in a private members club and the pay to play clubs, the latter being the norm in the US I believe. I think it comes down to the selfish attitude of some who say "I have paid my money so I play the course in my own time". The difference with club members is that it belongs to all of us and we see the same people every week and respect the time we play. It will not solve your problem but it may improve if a true team spirit is adopteda nd encouraged,

THINGS THAT AGGRIVATE:
Young bucks that think they are John Daly, with exagerated swings and expensive drivers, who hit three from every tee and spend 10 minutes looking for lost balls.
The cosy foursome who all huddle around each others ball to watch every shot. Play ready golf! If your ball is twenty yards ahead,on the opposite side of the fairway, go to it and be ready to play when opportunity arrives.
The eternal optimist who, has never hit a drive off the tee more than 175 yds or a fairway shot more than 150 yds, but can't tee off on a par four or hit his first fairway shot until the group in front is on the green!
