The last time I played, my partner was so obsessed with keeping a rapid pace that I couldn't concentrate on my shots and it wasn't fun. It was just stressful. I'm not advocating dallying around, but for goodness sake...if you're so interested in moving fast - go for a run! (That's a joke...don't yell at me!)
I am not going to yell at you. Well a little. Keep the pace of play. If you are not ready to hit when the group ahead of you vacates the green, you are probably not paying attention. Watch where your ball goes as well as other members of the foursome. Be planning your next shot, and if you are not sure take two or three clubs to the ball . You can enjoy golf and repair divots and rake traps but you have to be aware of what is happening. There is etiquette and rules in every game and golf is to me the most polite. You must play your game and think of others in your foursome and on the course that day.Find the rules for ready golf and follow them and everyone will love to play with you no matter how new you are.

Here is one of my favorite fellows reminding you to not horse around;
