Well, I am ready to duck, but to all the ones that say, "what's the hurry", etc.. It is not about hurry or anyone wanting to interfere with your "enjoyment"; it is more about everyone's enjoyment, not just a select few. Personally, slow play drives me nuts because I find that I play much better if it is not slow out there (not just here...any place). I also hate to have to feel rushed. It's not about how "fast" you can get out of there, either. I don't care if you can't hit every green (I can't either), but: 1) be ready when it is your turn, 2) write scores and put away clubs on the next hole and getting your club for that hole out and ready, 3) finish your conversation on the way to the next hole (you can talk while the cart is in motion, 4) pick up after double par, and the list goes on.

Bottom line: Be courteous of the other golfers because you are not the only one(s) on the course, and they pay their amenities just like you do and are just as "entitled" (hate that word) to play as you are and to enjoy their game.

And, yes, I am a woman golfer.
