The golf industry cites slow play and difficulty as the reasons many people have given up golf. I'll be back to that in a second. They never bring up the issue of cost.
Slow play and difficulty can be related. Many golfers find that rushing forgoing a practice swing etc was a cause for a bad stroke. Granted one can stand over the ball too long, take too many swings, etc. conversely there are golfers who seem to be too impatient with other golfers setting up addressing the ball, etc.
Frankly I try hard to over look all of that. My complaints come from people who are more interested in chatting than being ready when their turn is up. I watched a foursome once and a woman sat in her cart until all three players teed off then she got out of the cart pulled the driver out of her bag and spent a good amount of time making adjustments. Better she had her driver out worked it a little while others teed off etc..........
Ready Play for the benefit of other golfers is one thing and i wholeheartedly agree . However, Ready Play because an industry only wants more bucks and gives you the wham bam thank you mam treatment is quite another
There is a lot more to this but I don't want to waste your time or the paper and ink
