Perhaps too many are taking cues from the pros---they think a pro is good because he takes extra time, when in reality he takes extra time because he is good. He also has to make a living at this game, and he conversation with his caddy is not about last night's performance at the Sharon.
I live on EP, and have watched golfers come to the tee with the hole open, stand on the tee have some kind of 5 min discussion, then walk back to their carts to get their drivers. They then hit 2 mulligans each, with 3 practice swings before each one, then repeat the process from the fairway. I could play that course from the black tees with a 7 iron and an umbrella and lap them, and most likely beat them as well. My only 2 questions for a group like that are 1) what game are you playing? and 2) do you play for money? I have also been tempted to hand out free copies of the rule book

Next time you see this group, wave at the group behind them..........I"M IN IT!!!!
