So, because the time increment is only 1.6 minutes per hole, it's OK to make everyone behind you wait for you to complete your round at the "prescribed" pace. They are rushing, you are not. So if there are two, three, four holes open in front of you, it's the "pros" in front of you creating the gap, not you. I would suggest you attend the Good Golf School at Colony and ask how they feel about that. Call 750-4558. It's held Thursday mornings, 9-11.
