Maybe , as you put it , the men leaders should "speak up to their groups then lead by example and they can not play again until attending a Good Golf School or Ready Golf session." Oh and don't forget giving the slow men a yellow card.

Boy Howdy, Saw this post coming! You never want to "rile up" a lady golfer.

I honestly don't believe that was the intention of the OP. Male, female, young or older, the pace of play should be "reasonable". We have a self imposed rule in our group to pick up your ball after triple bogey and I've seen some pretty good golfers pick up after six on a par three and move on. We always play ready golf---its more fun for everybody on the golf course. The good Golf school is a must for all golfers regardless of skill level.

I would have a "problem" with anybody who is not courteous on a golf course or anywhere else. You certainly don't "make fun" of somebody for using the forward tees. You should congratulate and encourage them! Fore
