Think Pelican: If you play from the blacks or gold you can't 'run' the ball up. If your game is currently at the 'run up' stage then get out and practice at courses that allow this action (i.e. not Pelican or Sweetgum or...) we have many. But please don't think that we need to de-golf design holes in TV.


Fast play: Has almost nothing to do with handicap of the golfer. So many ways to speed up play into the 9 minutes per hole. Not going to list them all as they have already been mentioned. I do try to get the first tee time every day to avoid problems but I do also play mid-afternoon and I just put my patience hat on.


Golf conditions: I'm not a great golfer (11 handicap and dropping) but I don't find the conditions bad for the most part. A few holes, yes, but overall not bad for the amount of play.

I fully agree with you and you stated your case well and articulately.
