I have never been accused of slow play. In fact it is my nature to be efficient and not waste time. However it is irriating when a group behind you pushes . It feels like someone is tailgating you. Usually this occurs because the group contains better players,or they are playing from front tees or perhaps it is a twosome or threesome.
When I first arrived I mentioned to someone that it bothered me to look back and see players waiting. His advice "don't look back."
What bothers me is to see people talking at the tee one tees off then another when finally the third or fourth player decides to pull their driver out and approach the tee. Or perhaps being just too social.
what i am trying to say is that it is one thing for a player trying to play well or learn the game to take a little time vis a vis those out for only the social aspect of it. it is the latter group where I only lose my patience. for the newer players cut them some slack
