Double par, pick it up.
Don't even THINK about hitting two balls.
Can't wait to read the next posts but I feel better.
So glad you are part of this forum, Doc.

Actually GG, I'd turn that around. What's the hurry? Probably nothing, or maybe someone allotted just so much time to play 9 short holes. Maybe they have an appointment, or a dinner reservation, or a movie time, or company coming over. Take a drive to LA on I-10--but go 25 mph.---what's the hurry?
So they better question is: What's all the lollygagging all about? No other place to talk incessantly than a golf course? No driving ranges to practice at? You've convinced yourself that a 9 is better than a 10 on a 100 yd. hole? There aren't any sidewalks to take a slow stroll?
There are defined average time parameters to play a golf hole---this helps with the enjoyment of the game for EVERYONE. Not playing at a REASONABLE pace (not rushing but not dawdling) affects everyone else on the course (behind you)
