Re: And More Golf ??
Not a big fan of putting steps into greenside bunkers - since most of the steep side is green facing it kind of defeats the purpose of playing the ball as you find it since you may get a bad break by hitting the wood of the step or having to move the ball away from the step etc. I'll just make the walk from the shallow side and walk back out the same way.
I have lots of ideas how to speed up play (I'm in the upper half of speedy players myself) but putting in time saving steps isn't in the top 100. I play every Saturday with the same foursome, walk the 18, play to upper 70's and finish in less than 4 hours on a public course - it can be done. I'm the youngest at 51 so we're not exactly youngsters anymore.
I know there are some leagues that play outside of TV (nearby) but you might want to ask a starter or two about other leagues beside the Tuesday events. With all the golfers in TV there HAS to be formal and informal leagues all over the place.
