TheVillageChicken: You are right. What i filed to make clear is that the golf industry is on a campaign to speed up golf because they are losing people to this game. My point was to explain that there are things we can and should do but when all is said in done what does a golfer do when faster golf intersects with a player's quest for quality performance and an enjoyable round

Please don't go there. This thread is not about that.

It's not your job to force your good habits on other golfers. Feel good that you are doing the right thing. Maybe they will learn by example. |

Everyone off the green is supposed to be on the green before the furthest away from the pin putts. With ready golf, anyone can putt first. Even if someone is walking to a sand trap you can putt and mark your ball. I guess that's what you said except I made it wordier. |

This pretty cool. I went to the USGA website and found this video about the rules of golf. click here
RULES Presented by ROLEX One of the core functions of the USGA is to write and interpret the Rules of Golf. The Association does this in conjunction with the R&A in St. Andrews, Scotland. The USGA also sets guidelines for competitions and Amateur Status. Learn and play by the rules for maximum enjoyment of the game. We’re here to help. |

The person is walking to the trap and they might get hurt because you are putting? don't you ever tell anybody or volunteer to hit up while so and so is walking to their ball?

No Tom, you got it backwards. You shouldn't be putting while people are still hitting up especially while hitting up from a sand trap. I know you said you can putt while someone is walking to a sand trap but like I said, if you're not paying attention this is a dangerous situation. There are plenty of other things that can be done to speed up play so lets not take unnecessary risks. I can't tell you how many times I had to tell someone to watch out for someone else hitting up. Sometimes people have tunnel vision when golfing, only thinking about their shot.

I also believe ALL golfers should have to attend the Good Golf School before they can play on the executive golf courses. No school, no tee time. I also wish the ambassadors had the power to give warnings when they see someone not rake the sand trap. And then there is always the slow play issues which just seem to get worse.

The golfer that holes out first is suppose to take the pin and be ready to put in the hole when all golfers have holed out. This saves time and is also ready golf and good etiquette.

Do you know the rules of golf? What is golf course etiquette? What ready golf means?
Tom Carpus is the Head of the PGA Rules Committee and in this video he goes over the rules, etiquette and ready golf. click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LblxeIXzctQ AND---This is a well written paper with illustrations that reinforces ready golf skills. “Ready golf is kind of like the etiquette of playing golf. It is a general practice that most golfers follow so that they are not playing slowly. Ready golf includes thinking ahead so you are ready to play when it is your turn. So here are some of the principles that many golfers use so that they keep play moving.” click here http://www.golfwebsite.ws/12148/Documents/ReadyGolf.PDF |

I agree but the pin should be left on the ground until everyone putts out. If you insist on picking it up early then please hold the flag so it's not flapping in the breeze.
