Yesterday while playing alone he felt like he was being pushed by the group behind. He could only move as fast as the group in front (a foursome) allowed and wished the group behind would have given him some breathing room. His feeling was that their tee time was set to allow for a foursome to play at his t time and that surely they could wait a few minutes and stay in their own timing schedule which would have given him some breathing room. He didn't say anything to them but probably nicely should have asked if they would back off I think. He by the way played a really fast round.
I understand how that feels sometimes. It took me a while but I learned to only concentrate on staying up with the group in front of me and ignoring the ones behind me. It helped my playing.
