this came up in another thread, So how long does it take you guys to play 18 holes if things are going smoothly. No ones slowing you down or rushing you. How long do you average.

If the commitment is not there, it's time to walk away -Larry Flynt-

On average it takes me about 3 hours without having to wait on people.

My record time with a twosome, is right around 2 hours. (we were moving!!!)

I have only played three rounds of golf alone in a cart with no one in front of me. I completed them in 2 hours 45 min, 3 hours, and 2 hours and 30 min. The 2 hours and 30 min round was pretty funny because the cart had a GPS system that also tracked your pace of play. I was SO FAR AHEAD of pace that it said: "TIME AHEAD --:--" on the readout.

My average with my normal golf buddy using 1 cart and first off the tee is about 3 hours and 15 min.

The World Record is 56 mins i beleive.

From golfonline.com

1981 - Steve Scott, the American record-holder in the 1,500 meters, sets a record for the fastest round of golf played on a regulation course, completing 18 holes in 29 minutes, 33.05 seconds at Miller Golf Course in Anaheim, Calif. He posts a 92.

I don't know if anyone has beaten that lately. It's the first result on Google (so it must be right!

)

I can sometimes leave my house, play 18, and be home and back on the computer in about two hours. But that's with a cart and nobody on the course in front of me...

In a twosome, just under three hours is good. In a foursome, with nobody to hold us up, 3.5 hours is about the norm. Four hours feels dreadfully slow, and if I ever find myself in the middle of a five-hour round, I may just kill myself after killing those around me.

Once it took me three hours to play nine holes because my friend and I were behind "an outing," and we left after the tenth - the groups took 30 minutes at the halfway house, so our allotted four hours were up.

Normally around 3.5 hours, obviously then is if I don't get held up by a slow group and with no other unforeseen problems.

Last night, I played nine holes in about one hour and fifteen minutes. I was by myself, riding in a cart. I have played 18 holes by myself on an empty course on Sunday mornings in about two and one half hours.

I really can't stand five hour rounds.

By myself, two hours and fifteen minutes has been the fastest.

A round just my brother and I, a lil over three hours.

The last four rounds I've played have taken five hours.

I really miss playing fall golf.

I usually walk so i've done 18 in 3 hours walking at my fastest on a hilly course.
the longest i've taken has been 7.5 when the ppl i've been matched up with HAD NO IDEA HOW TO HIT A BALL. everything was tee'ing off 4 or 5 balls. i had to wait 4 or 5 of their shots to my tee shot..it was the most FRUSTRATING day i've ever had on the course..and it's happened TWICE.... if anyone can beat a 7.5 hour round, then please share your frustration with me.

      Has anyone played around with "My Strategy?"  It seems they've revamped it -- I remember not liking the interface a while ago.  Today I went over a course I play semi-often and was able to designate a tee box for each hole, then choose a a club and target direction and it put my scatter pattern for that club off the tee, showing average SG for fairway / rough / bunker (if appropriate) / green.  I could change the club and see how another behaved.  It wasn't clear to me what I can gain from this, or where the follow-up shot supposedly originates, but it is neat to look at it on a map. What motivated me is that I'm debating taking less than driver on one of the par-4s next time I play this course, probably 4-Wood.  I have found myself, sometimes off of a good tee shot, playing my second shot from the tree line, as the fairway slopes strong left to right.  I don't think I've even had a near-GIR on that hole in 2026 (6 rounds at this course), and it's my second-worst strokes-gained hole, playing to an average of 5.3 for me -- the only worse is a hole where I've hit an O.B. en route to a bogey and also managed a triple bogey another round. Scattering my 4W pattern off that tee shows a higher strokes gained, but then again, hitting that club is far from a guarantee I won't fade it a bit and roll into the tree line, now further back from the green.  And I haven't hit a bunted driver in a while, maybe I need to practice that shot, but that isn't something this feature can show (since it doesn't know why my tee shots ended up where they did).  Then again, it might not know where I was aiming for my tee shots either. On a related note, I am finding their course analysis tool interesting, especially when I can sort by strokes gained average and also determine which hole(s) I'm playing to what stroke average.  Interesting that the #2 and #4 handicap I'm averaging under bogey, while 5-6-7 and 12 handicap holes I'm averaging over bogey.  The hole I described a moment ago is the #12 handicap.

      Day 28, June 1.  Went to a course near me while running errands to practice putting.  I wanted to chip also but their chipping green was closed. I did my 4' and 6' drills (around the clock, but with the goal of making each putt twice, for a total of 24 from each station).  On the 4' putts, I took a total of 32 putts to sink all 24.  I'm very happy with the 75% make rate (scratch one-putt at that distance is 80%, bogey 65%). For the 6' putts, I took a total of 52 putts, for a 46% make rate (scratch: 55%, bogey 39%).  That's an improvement I'm happy with, and I'm aiming to do this drill once a week for a while, now that my putting (over the past five rounds) is better than the 10 hcp baseline (I'm a 10.7? 10 point something as I type this), which is far better than 6-7 months ago when I was losing strokes to the 25 handicap baseline (I really should write up what I did to improve over this time).  Amazingly, on the 6', there was one putt (approximately coming from 10:00) that I didn't sink at all in 4-5 passes and then was the only coin remaining, and it was face up.  I could've sworn it would break right, and I kept missing it left, and when I finally aimed straight in, I made two in a row.  Maybe it was one of those rare (?) double-breaker 6' putts. :shrug:

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      This is feeling like the club is at P2. To get lower launch angles I have to feel like I’m dragging my hands through impact just delofting the crap out of the club.  This is trying to stop at P2.5. The consistency in launch angle gets worse. Contact gets worse.   trying to go P3, things get more volatile. The more I increase my swing length the more I can’t lower the dynamic loft.  Edit: these are with my 56 degree.
