It was just a lot of extra work for every aspect of what we were doing. Even trying to find a lost ball every 3-4 holes. The guy i played with was horrible from tee to green but he did most of the work on the green.
It was also hard to concentrate and focus on the greens even though each of us got two putts per hole. Also waiting 5 minutes on every shot sucked. 
I don't know if I could ever play a round of golf with you as I play fast and people who take a lot of practice swings all the time drive me crazy.... |
Yes you could, I walk so I'm usually faster, even if I take a few practice swings. What I can't stand are the cart types on CPO days, or even 90/degree days. I've learned one thing about walking and a GPS watch, if you know your clubs (especially the distance you lose when it's not in the fairway...) walking the line and knowing where to start looking makes it all go a lot faster.
Now I know I'm prolly the only one on the board who's not hitting fairways 80% off the tee, but a course like Adams Point is one where you can spend a LOT of time looking for a ball that's a yard off the fairway. Not because it's "tough", but because they don't mow. I've told them there's a difference, and they just laugh...
Anyway, I think we'd be just fine, I've never been the holdup.
