In hindsight I may not have made myself clear in that we were making the turn and wanted a credit for the remaining holes. We ended up playing 18 so no harm no foul but I thought it surprising that no credit was offered.
When I’m a 2some on the championship courses, we just play multiple balls, do more practicing, etc. We usually play a 1 man scramble with 2 balls and play each other for a beer afterwards. My guess is that a 2 some, not running, will play in about an hour less than a foursome, I think it just feels slower than expected.
