I promise. I don't even take a single practice swing except for chips....my buddy and I can play a round in 2hrs if the course is wide open.

Never Get in trouble for playing too slow, sometimes get into trouble for firing warning shots over peoples bows for moving like a tanker

Usually use NXT Extreme's or HX Hot's

I hate it when you play with people who take forever, and then say "You better just tap in the putt, we're getting behind", as you step over your 5 footer coming back.

I completely agree, slow players drive me nuts. You should have no problem keeping up to the group in front of you. When you have to wait on every shot you can't get a rhythm going. When you walk, if you're holding other groups up maybe you should ride. When you ride don't be driving around in circles like you're on a joy ride.
I try to play 3 times a week, so I get to see a lot of other golfers, you would be amazed at how many are never ready to play. They wander around, then walk back to change clubs, then go back and get their putter. I mean get with it already. BE READY TO PLAY OR STAY HOME.

i'm in

it's amazing how many people don't use enough common sense to have their ball, tee, and club ready to hit the ball and waste 30 seconds getting it when it's their turn which adds up immensely

I played my first round and my twosome only took ~4:15 w/o a stop for food. I thought we played klnda slow since I am an absolute beginner and my friend isn't too much better but I guess not. I insisted on playing from the yellow tees and sometimes just picked the ball up and brought it closer if it went OOB or into the water more than once or twice.

I'm all over this one........I played 9 holes at a local course last weekend, and it took almost 3 1/4 hours.......I was pretty steamed. They have signs posted everywhere saying "Please keep the reccomended pace of 2 hours per nine holes"......I almost threw the sign at this one group that must have been playing patty-cake or something.

Where do I sign? This should be required to be posted in every pro shop or starter's spot. As well as an explanation of what to do when you are holding people up - let them play through. We mostly play "ready golf". Keeps things moving better.

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
