I think something that might work here is taking 1 or 2 courses per week and making them 'quick play'. Easier pins, and 9 hole opportunity. Just my opinion!

I think we have nine hole courses with different levels of difficulty. The problem is partially that golfers still feel they can hit as long as they used to and won't move to the easier tees.
As long as we have humans we will have slow play but what a great way to try to educate the general public and new golfers.
I think this "while we're young" campaign is brilliant and subtle.
I love the slogan particularly for this lovely place full of younger olders and older olders who feel young.
