I've read this entire thread and not one person criticized him/her self because he/she was anxious to start playing on the first tee. Is anyone aware that there should be a seven minute interval between groups teeing off. How many times have you teed off on the first hole anywhere and looked back before you get to the green and found people standing on the tee behind you? This is partly the fault of the course. It does not enforce the 7 minute rule all the time. And, too many golfers are in too much of a hurry to abide by the rule themselves. Think about it. If you are practicing your swing on the tee box and the players in front of you are about to hit their second shot - you are going to have to wait all day long.
