[funtime]

Steve is correct, people play less golf because of slow play, some even quite. But the real problem here, as we can see from the responses, is that, there are competing views. Some people enjoy a leisurely round, some come to socialize, the course has their own agenda. For those that want to play golf without the social interaction, the traditional 4 some at 4+ hours is not fun. A single golfer with a cart and get around a championship course, without speeding in about 2 1/2 hours. A twosome with their own cart and get around in about 3 hours. A foursome will take, even in the best of time 3 3/4 to four hours. Its clear having more than 2 people, is not conducive to prompt golf. Why cant both types of players have their way. Start with twosome Tuesdays. Tee times are only for single and 2 players, each with their own cart. I think on those days we would be talking around 3 hour rounds, without rushing. A golfers golfer wants to play golf, but not at a hurried pace. If the demand was increasing the course could go to every other day having 1 or 2 golfer tee times, I would think you could go to 5 minute tee times, which would increase the income of the golf course. People that want to continue to play 4+ hour rounds could book on those designated days. Everybody wins.
