So, the book is on the way, thanks to Darkfrog, but what about when you start way behind a group and catch up? Should I just play slower? 
I played in a 3-some today and we played through another 3 at the tune. Course is wide open in front of us. By 13, we catch another 3, and they take 15 minutes to play a 125-yard par 3 with no really hazard. That kind of stuff ruins my day. You lose all flow and rhythm. What are you supposed to do?

Beat them up, maybe? 🙂

The book isn't really about this kind of stuff, as you'll see.

Come to think of it, I have witnessed a fist fight on the course caused by slow play. It was a few holes ahead in different groups. 
This was a few holes after the slow play afforded a few guys the opportunity to share some drugs during the wait time, lol. 
That’s what you get for booking a single in NJ and getting paired up, haha.

Good. You'll see he feels strongly it's not about the absolute time, but the "flow."

    • Day 286 6-15 low point control using towel on the ground. Making a bit of progress there.  No ball. Worked on lowering arm, hit foam balls. Recorded
    • Day 42, June 15.  Played 18 today.  Shot 86, no birdies.  Played the par-3s in +2 and par-5s in +1 (there are only three).  Played the 11 par-4s in a total of +12, three triples and only two pars.  One of those triples was a 4-putt (in my defense, it started at the collar, it's a very long par-4 that required driver 4-wood, and the first putt was from 66').   I haven't calculated strokes gained yet for the round and I'm very very curious. 
    • Driver might be out of the bag indefinitely. All I got for success on camera and ball flight is like 50% swing speed. Anything more and it’s all over the place and strike is all over the clubface.  I got no athleticism/flow right now with what I want to do. It’s too dangerous for me because the swing will just get too long and unstable at P4. It’s very robotic feeling right now.

    • He's not and GEARS doesn't really measure toward your midline. It's measured at the joint. That's not why his use of "midline" is bad (part of the reason is that your "midline" is twisted, the top of your sternum can be pointed at a different place than the belt buckle, and your shoulders protract and retract, too. I think he's just trying to use midline to say which way the arm is moving. But they have terms for that — adduction and abduction — so whatever.
