Random partners in TV are often new to golf and don't know all the rules of the game. I love meeting new people on the course and sharing with them, but I hate slow play - frankly, it affects my game (not that it is all that great, mind you) It's frustrating to wait behind golfers who sit in their carts chit-chatting when the tee is empty and the fairway clear. Having said that - I also feel, that as an experienced golfer, I can help newbies to the game, so if I am playing with people who tend to delay the game, I will politely and in a friendly manner inform them about pace of play. We were all new to the game at some point in time.
