The one thing (there are many but his one is special) I dislike about golf is the propensity to have to be done in a certain amount of time. I always thought it was about having fun and being out with friends and or family....well it is for me.

Yes there are times I will grumble when folks in front (mostly on exec courses) are obviously taking an unreasonable way too much time, putting clubs away, keeping score, chewing the fat.....but the fact of the matter there are 75, 85 and some 90 year olds out there and some who are not as limber as they used to be. I remind myself that I hope I am able to still play when I get old(er) without someone with a stop watch on my tail.

I guess 23 minutes is to me....reasonable in a retirement community golf outing!!! But that is me!!

Well....who is gonna believe you if you yell "while we're young"?
