No more. Either slow players will be charged extra or their carts will lose power after 4 hours. I golf 5 times a week and my desire to get around is secondary when compared to the golf course's need to accomodate people wearing hats backwards and taking 12 practice swings who play 3 times a year. It's getting old and I'm thinking of bailing out. Golf needs to be 4 hours. No more. Either slow players will be charged extra or their carts will lose power after 4 hours.

Suggest you try the new Tru-scale Hybrid "Crossover" golf ball. Hi-compression ball plays the same as the standard golf ball, but scaled in distance for compact play. Find a compact golf course (executive/par-3, mid-length, wee) and just enjoy the big-course experience & guaranteed 2-3 hour "regulation" round. Eliminates...slow paced golf...abbreviated par... high golf costs...frustrating golf rounds...also the ball floats! Com'on over to the quicker modern side of golf and leave that old SPG (slow-paced-golf) alone. Hey what’s all the beef with slow play? Suggest you try the new Tru-scale Hybrid “Crossover” golf ball.

Apart from the obvious name similarity, I ran Everton's Community Programme for a few years, managed an England disability squad for 4 years, a big golf fan (without the time to play) and now have my own company (challenging the business world to grasp environmental and social issues!) Good luck with Red Top (never noticed the Tiger / last day thing before - thanks for that.) David Hi David

I taught you well! I hope I'm not the uber slow learner you refer to in your article! It's all relative isn't it. How many times di you, me and Mondo get stuck behind a four ball? Plenty - yet we were hardly quick. Still can't believe these tools who want to go round in 2.5 hours - what's the point? I'd certinaly agree that 3.5-4hours. At four hours you're really only talking an averag of about 13 minutes per hole - pretty good going if there are three or four people playing. Hope all is well in Azalea - missing the wee man?

After all we're not all Tiger and if we don't take our time out there we (1) aren't going to fully enjoy it and (2) never will get better.
