It's very simple, whether you are a beginner or have played for 50 years-------YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PRO TO PLAY AT AN APPROPRIATE PACE AND KEEP UP WITH THE GROUP AHEAD OF YOU. Everyone starts somewhere, it's a great game and everyone should give it a try.
For the beginners: It's OK to pick up after 5 or 6 shots and put it on the green.
For the veterans: You are NOT Jordan Spieth, you do not need to line up your putt from 4 different angles, especially if you are putting for triple bogey. And please note not even a pro takes 5 practice swings before a full shot.

If that advice was followed, you probably wouldn't have a 1/2 hour back up on any hole.

To the person I'm responding to---stop being so adversarial, you're gaining nothing.
