Slow players exist and it's so painful to watch. Back home in our Ladies golf club, we had had a female version of Na. 99% of the ladies refused to play with her, they gave her the cold shoulder, shunned her. The ladies never told this woman what the issue was -her slow play.
So my Brit friend and I played with her one day, it was the longest day of our lives. We looked at each other and made the decision to let her know the effect she has on us and the essence of the golf game.
The female Na was so apologetic about her effects on our game, her game and the clubs game, the following week she apologized to our ladies club. Now did she change her habits immediately? No. But when Female Na got slow, we were able to say to her your getting slow again, without shunning her..
Honesty with kindness goes a long way.
