I've seen a number of guys take things way too seriously, basically playing every shot like it's the US open.

With some of these kinds of players, ready golf is a complete misnomer.

Why can't we find a way to increase the speed to complete a round of golf?

The old guys in my area seem to have done it.

I could probably break 100 playing those rules!

best game improvement technique I have heard of

Best thing to do would be to increase the hole size to like 2 ft or so.

Some courses are setting up 12 hole rounds because one of the complaints

what ever happened to the millions the PGA raised for youth golf?

Great question!! I imagine the foundation admin took most of it

ready golf, and only let sub 5 handicappers out on the course

BlueFrog

11/11/15 2:21pm

how do you become a sub 5 handicap if you're never let on the course, though?

fattycoug

11/11/15 2:23pm

you do become scratch by not going on the course. practice green/bunkers/range

agreed. but we aren't looking for balls in the rough every single hole

BlueFrog

11/11/15 2:34pm

Make that 10 and I'm all for it.

In the Philippines, we finished rounds very quickly

Depends on who you are talking about

JohnHaddow

11/11/15 2:23pm

Even high handicappers could play fast, no looking for balls

Starters need to quit cramming foursomes on the course every 7 mins

this is a big problem on many municipal courses

blucoug18

Yep when there are 3 groups on every hole its going to be a long day.

Dillinger

11/11/15 2:41pm

Playing from the appropriate tees is another one. I see players worse than

Jeff Spicoli

Big agreement with this one

MoveTheChains

Amen

JohnHaddow

One more: the max on each hole should be double par. Example, if you're on a par

Jeff Spicoli

11/11/15 2:28pm

If you're making 8s on par 4s leave and don't come back

Is it true that in Japan, players are on timers, must play on time or kicked off

LasVegasBlue

11/11/15 2:30pm

Slowest rounds I play are with people in love with their rangefinders

MoveTheChains

11/11/15 2:30pm

Thats why every course should have GPS on the cart

LasVegasBlue

11/11/15 2:36pm

Sometimes the slow pace is really nice. I love walking a course and

I like the new trend of relaxed golf rules...keeps pace moving

LasVegasBlue

Done.

A round of gold should be more like 14 holes.

Niiineteeen84

East Bay here in Provo will let people pay to play 12

MoveTheChains

11/11/15 2:46pm

Also, just pickup after double or worse

FiveTen-BuckEighty

11/11/15 2:50pm

I assume you mean double par, right?

StantonMac

It up to the courses to police this. The Troon managed courses here in AZ

I agree, golfers should be educated on always being aware of position

LasVegasBlue

We did. It's called Minature Golf

problems are many. They begin with the pros who everyone watches and emulates

Average handicap for males in America is 16.1, I've found mid hdps to be slowest
