I think that’s the thing that bugs me most. Slow all the way thru the hole and than blast off the tee as they see our group approaching lol.

In fairness to the OP, I think moving from a cooler, wetter climate, to a warmer, more drier climate, eventually takes it's toll on the human body.  I think if I moved up north, it would take me a good 6 months to acclimate myself to the weather change. Maybe even longer.  Add in the copious amount of alcohol in hotter weather, and anyone's body would need a breather. 

My wife and I play three times a week year round. Been retired since 1990 and the only time I got burned out when I play over 300 rounds three years in a row. It felt like I was going to work after awhile, so I stopped for a while and then came back to the 3 times a week. The last half dozen years I have had some surgeries and that gave me some time off. When I can back I was chomping at the bit to play again. Take time off until you feel like you need to play some more golf. It is no fun if you do not enjoy it.

To follow up on my previous post, here's my interpretation of a situation where there isn't any fairway on a par 3, using a hole from my home course as an example.  A "fairway reference point" can be at the nearest spot that is mowed to fairway height or less, and might be a teeing area.  The fairway reference point defines a line on the "fairway side, but isn't necessarily defining a distance form the hole.  The relief area can be no closer to the hole than where the ball is estimated to be lost, or have crossed the OB line, and between the two defining lines.

I've been playing golf year round for the last 20 years, no burnout here. My only complaint is when things come up and I can't play. Mind you my play decreases significantly in the winter due to weather and lack of sunlight. I might only play 4-5 times a month compared to 4-5 times a week in the summer.
