Respect the courses please.

Let's talk about etiquette and good manners.
Your shots lands in the middle of a bunker a half acre wide with a high lip. You're playing partners are on the green eyeballing you, and perhaps even putt out while waiting. Bad form from them. It takes two strokes for you to get out. The rake is way over there. Another group is pushing. The bunker is full of unranked soft spike foot prints from players who believe soft spikes tracks are okay. So you say to yourself, the heck with raking, we gotta move on.
Next, you've made the green in regulation. Calling it a green is an overstatement. It's more like astroturf laid over a waffle iron, and this is weeks after aeration. You can't tell your ball mark from the others. Maybe you fix one and hurry up because your partners are already walking off.
So few players I've seen play golf with a consideration for etiquette. But, sadly, if we all did, slow play is the likely result.
