If you are new to golf, please take an orientation class at one of the regional rec centers that will tell you to pick up after double par, don't take long to look for balls, park your golf cart near the back of the green and exit quickly from the green after you have putted out, write your score on the next hole. Don't hit a second shot to make up for a bad one.

Many people new to golf don't realize that part and parcel of the game is moving along at a steady pace. I think on a par three you are supposed to play a hole in ten minutes. Keeping the pace of play identifies you as a good golfer. An executive course is engineered to be played in about an hour and a half.

If you play slow people are going to be waiting behind you ALL DAY.
