Look at the slope and the distance of TV courses. They are easier and shorter then you are used to playing. I play a lot of championship courses and the pace of play should be maintained based on the course you are playing. Most TV 18 hole courses should be completed in 4:00 to 4:15 maximam. If you are taking longer play a shorter tee box. Yes you should enjoy the game, but so should every one else on the course. There are so many things you can do to speed up play. Take the course on golf etiquette, play ready golf, manage your time on each hole, move to the next tee box before recording scores, place your cart and clubs on the far side of the green close to the next tee, pick up after double bogie, first person in the cup should replace the flag, (after picking up their clubs and are ready to move to the next hole), and many other things you learn as you play. There are so many simple things everyone can do to speed up play if we are all considerate of the others on the course.
Saying I am going to enjoy the nature and to h*** with everyone else is not one of them.
