You have no links in your post.
As to being "hurried"....if you play golf properly then you are never hurried. You can be a low, high or any handicap and play at a proper pace. Only entitled people think they have the right to take as much time as they'd like when it involves other people. |

Absolutely! You can be a quick golfer without hurrying or rushing, simply by making the effort to think a couple of steps ahead. Being ready to play when it's your turn (or even when it's not, if no one else is ready to hit), get off the cart and walk over to your ball with the club you think you may need along with one more/one less, look at your putt from different angles (without bothering the other players) BEFORE it's your turn, fiddle-fart with your bag when it's not your turn to hit and many more other little tips can speed up play significantly without needing to rush or hurry. It really boils down to a mindset of trying to be courteous to others, instead of only being wrapped up in yourself. |

On Wednesday April 20th when the winter rates were still effect myself and a friend went to Evans Prairie and paid for 9 holes, $26. It was the third wave, teetime was 4:20, but you can play as long as you like. There was no one in the clubhouse and no one on the first tee, the starter let us tee off at 4:05. We never encountered another golfer and played Egret to Kildeer 18 holes and finished at 6:55. I shot 87 my friend 91, we play from the blue tees. I could of broke 80, I lost several strokes on the greens. They were aerated so every putt rolled bumpy and they had no sand down, very slick. So you try and putt firm to keep on line and if you missed the cup, you rolled six feet past. I had one 4 putt and several 3 putts.
The point was, when 2 guys know what they're doing and don't drive back and forth across the fairway, you can get out of the cart and walk to your ball while the other player is hitting, don't take upteen practice swings, land in a trap on every hole, stay out of the hazards, you can play 18 easily under 3 hours. My longest round was in March 2012, I played Havana, (Hemingway to Kilmanjaro) as a threesome and it took 5 hours and 5 minutes that day. I remember that round and day because it was the first time I broke 80 here since moving down in 2011, shot a 78 from the blues that day and I don't know why since we waited so long every hole. PS, I've never played Penbroke because first, I heard it's a par 60, not a full size course. Second, if you play Belle Glade, I believe it's the Tequesta nine, and I think around the 5th hole, you actually parallel a hole at PennBrooke. You're just separated by a fence and you can see it's not the greatest as far as layout or conditions. It's probably better than Lake Miona in Wildwood, which has to be the worse course ever. You can play that course for $22 anyday of the year, but after I played the one and only time, I felt they should of paid me. Last edited by John_W; 05-09-2016 at 05:20 PM. |

Since he said they had paid (indicating someone took their money), I read it that there were no other potential players in the clubhouse.

Oops! My bad. This advancing age thing makes me sometime speed read through stuff without grasping pertinent info; trying to cram as much stuff into what time is left.
