I play in a small group of 8 to 12 players, all priority. We usually get tee times between 7:50 and 8:15. We rotate between all the championship courses. We can easily finish the first nine in 1 1/2 hours, but we know that with the wave, we will have to wait to begin the second 9 if we speed too fast. Most of the time we have very little wait, if any, to start the second 9.

While there is some slow play on the champ courses, most of the complaints I see are from those speedy players that are playing too fast. I remember one time when we were complaining to each other about the slow play since we were waiting on every shot. At the turn we realized we had still finished the first nine in 1 hour 40 minutes. The group ahead of us were "on time", but we thought they were slow; we are just always ready to hit our next shot in turn.
