Not to play speed golf. I enjoy my round.The villages has over 9000 tee times a day. Expecting a fast round of golf less than 4 hours is out of the question.
Just my view
I agree about it is hard to play in under 4 hours ussually, although there are some days when no on is in front of you when you can fly. As an example, last week our foursome had a the last tee time of the morning wave at Palmer. Did not see a sole in front of us or behind us for most of the day. Our own private CC and we leisurely played without rushing in 3:50.

I do however feel strongly that people that cannot play in the alloted time posted for each course ruin the day for all that follow and need to be addressed so they understand this is NOT acceptable. BTW, the allotted time for Bonifay is 4 hours and 17 minutes. I think the ambassadors should be given more authority and more training to keep a course playing under the alloted time.

If I were in charge I would consider tracking IDs versus time or versus warnings issued to look for trends.
