When the round is extra slow how do you pass the time?
I coached hs golf. I'll teach you a side game the students use to play while waiting to tee off. In NJ group and state tournaments are over booked, there is a lot on the line and kids that are not seasoned golfers take extra practice swings. Anyway, the game was called knock-out. Using the club you are going to tee off with the first person starts at the left the marker and tries to hit the right tee marker. If they do next they try to hit the left tee marker and if they do they try to hit their opponents golf ball. If they miss, and everyone usually misses, the next player goes. All four players go in rotation and are trying are trying to knock out the other players after they first hit the 2 ball markers.
I learned this trick too if you get nervous waiting for your turn to hit. Toss the ball up a foot or 2 and catch it. Your instincts will focus on catching the ball and not on getting nervous.
Or you can just hope everyone in the villages plays faster golf because they read this thread.
