Your thoughts on letting people play through.
Mine: In Europe foursomes get around in under 3 hours. Why can we not do that here in North America? Are people more selfish with their time here? IE. I paid, therefore, I get to take as long as I want, forget everyone else. I disagree with this of course. We should enjoy the game, play the game, however, we are not on the tour. Play with courtesy.
What about when a twosome is behind a foursome? I believe let the twosome play through, max time effected on the round is maybe 5 minutes. You can even make fun of it. Have a bet with your foursome whether the twosome is going to lose their ball off the tee or not. Make sure the twosome knows about the bet. Also, tell the twosome if the ball gets lost off the tee, than they must proceed to the next tee without finishing the hole.
Sum up: Golfers in North America are somewhat clueless. From not fixing ball marks and divots, to holding up people and taking 6 hours to play a round of golf.
Lets all work this year to speed up play and the beer aftewards will be more enjoyable, yet a beer is anjoyable anytime.
