If you're first out just be aware that arrival at the back 9 quicker than 2:08 will probably result in a short wait. IMHO, that's better than getting stuck behind a group that takes 2:40 to play the front nine. (I'd rather wait 15 minutes at the turn than wait on EVERY shot all 18 holes)

That’s not always the case. For example, yesterday teed off at Kildeer Evans Prairie at 7:55. We were first ones out and the starter reminded us not to get to Osprey before 9:28 because we would wait at the turn. We took our time and got to Osprey starter shack at 9:31. Then was directly behind a foursome that needed some lessons. Slow play from that point on could not describe the time it took to complete the back nine. In my opinion, this is the issue where individuals who need some lessons don’t follow the rule that if you hit the ball six times on a par four it’s time to pick up and move on.
