A round of golf is meant to be played at a prompt pace.
Your pace of play is likely to affect how long it will take other players to play their rounds, including both those in your group and those in following groups. You are encouraged to allow faster groups to play through.
Lancer, thanks for the link. Although the passage is found in the "rule" book, I wouldn't consider it a "rule"...just a vague reference. No set time is specified, nor any penalty for violation.
