That justification for slow play never made any sense to me. So you paid the same amount of money as everyone else. Why does that allow you to make their experience awful?

It’s almost as bad as the “I’m slow because I’m not that good” take. Pace of play has nothing to do with skill. Keeping a reasonable pace of play regardless of skill or the feeling that you deserve it because you paid are terrible.

Best advice I ever heard on pace of play was from an old guy who played in under 2:30 every morning.

Went to Pinehurst a couple weeks back. No. 2 was a 5 hour round. No. 10 was 5.5 hours. We had to leave after 16 to catch our flight. So pissed.

No. 2 is rough and there’s rarely anyway around it. No. 10 taking so long is interesting. 9-16 is a bear, which slows things down, but 5.5 hours is inexcusable.

I feel like 3.5 hours is reasonable for anyone, anywhere. And I’ve been to some clubs in England and Scotland (Prestwick and Rye) where members get a letter if it takes longer than 3 hours for a round.

I’m going to pinehurst in October. Hope that doesn’t happen to us.
