Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Bandon is a pretty nice course. I have played there 5, or 6  times. What did the guy score who won it?

In My Bag:
A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

These guys are seasoned runners, they run faster than 8 min miles. I'm gonna do this one day.

Yeah. The guy in the photo looks like a 7 min mile 10k guy. Probably sub seven.

Yeah that's one way to put it. Nick Willis won the silver medal at the 2008 olympics in the 1500m. So probably one of the fastest middle distance runners in the world. Still only shot 97 though.

I didn't even look them up, I was just judging on form alone. I used to be a sub 5 minute miler, and that form is a bit better than mine ever was.

I'm guessing 6 minute miles, or faster.

I use to run 5 miles in 30 minutes as a recreational runner (6 minute miles).  High School track and/or cross country teams run much faster than that.  Elite runners can run 5 minute miles for an entire marathon (26.2 miles).

Similar to a biathlon.  I remember from watching the biathlon, (cross country skiing and shooting a rifle), in the winter Olympics... part of the skill set was the competitors had the ability to quickly slow their heart beat, and pull the trigger between heart beats.  Similarly, it seems it would be optimal to settle your breathing and slow your heart beat before you swing the club in speed golf.

Is that four clubs in the picture above?

If you were to do this (and if you're not a fast runner, let's pretend you are), if you were to do this, how many clubs and which clubs would you choose?

For me, being a high handicapper, I'm wanting to keep it as straight as possible. 6 iron, wedge, putter. Three clubs.

Doh! If he's a 1500m Olympic Medal winner, then he's probably around 5 minute and change per mile for 10k.

No Jason Dufner body types in this field.

I am a pretty fast player so these guys don't impress me.  My buddy and I tee off first thing in the morning and have no problem finishing in under 60 minutes and last time, I shot 85 ... what? ... they played 18?  ... and they were running not riding in a cart?

Never mind.

Probably closer to 4:30 min/mile for the 10k. He did the 5000m in 13:34 earlier this year.
