I feel like the better golfers should play a higher level and those who play a level one should be more patient with newer or just slower golfers. As with golf cart traffic and other traffic, WHAT IS YOUR HURRY?
Wendy you may be on to something------if those just starting to play golf would play the level 1 courses for the first few months and until their skills and confidence increases it would benefit them and all TV golfers. It's not a perfect solution but a REASONABLE idea. Golf and Golf Digest have written many many articles on slow play. One that I saw not long ago went on to say that slow play was the biggest problem that golf currently has to solve. Now they were talking about "working people" whose time is critical and many times means money----not necessarily Retirees. Ready golf-----let it happen.
