What I am finding is that the holes are getting beat up a bit more as people aren’t as careful as they should be digging the ball out with the flagstick still in...

I've seen lazy assholes removing the ball from the cup by using the head of their putters. Maybe they're still trying to do that?

I think chronically slow people or groups will just be slow about everything. If your group takes a 'pace of play' attitude, this wouldn't be an issue as they'd get ready for putts while others a

It is an advantage for everyone, you just aren't using it right.

It was my understanding that the new rule allowing the flagstick to be left in was intended to speed up play. I don't know about anyone else but I'm finding that it's causing just the opposite effect.

Them and the ones that spit sunflower seeds on the greens.....they should be forced to watch 12 hours straight of an amateur long drive competition.

My buddy and I are going to buy 300 of those little putter grip suction cup things to give out to the idiots who refuse to bend over to get the ball out of the hole.

Good grief.  The flip flops I’m wearing are older than that!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
