As I said before, I am glad to hear how much you all enjoy the Exec courses, but it is too bad that the slow play of some people detracts from the experience.
Has anyone ever proposed a workable solution to the problem of slow play? For example, having a time when people are told they must play fairly quickly? Of course, then it has to be enforced, and that can cause hard feelings - at least that is what happened where I play.

It's addressed to the point of it sounding like a broken record with opinions all over the place just like any other thread. You have some in the "live and let live", life is too short side and others who would want fast play rigorously enforced by the ambassadors handing out red cards.
Where I'm from in South Jersey I think the public courses would overbook. The private courses until 10 years ago had a female policy about when women could play. It was an unusual course where the tee off times were on schedule and you finished 18 holes in around 4 hours. Down here, more than likely you might go out before your scheduled time. I can't remember being stalled on the first tee, teeing off late because of slow play. Considering all the beginners, they must be doing something right.
