I, too, have played a lot of golf, and consider 3 1/2 hours for 18 holes unattainable on a regular basis. Sure, sometimes you can do it, but to expect it regularly is probably unrealistic. As an example, the score card for Evans Prairie under the etiquette section of the card states: "Expected pace of play is 4 hours, 16 minutes". I do agree with everyone that Ready Golf is the solution to most slow play issues, as well as recognizing when it's time to "fold 'em" and move to the next hole. But we'll always be plagued by folks, newbees and oldies alike, who don't understand this part of golf etiquette.
