Understatement given the humidity you have in the SE.

IMO, slow play is when you're not keeping up with the group in front of you - for whatever the reason might be.  If there's no group in front of you, slow play is when you're unnecessarily holding up

Slow is as slow as it feels. Again- If you play on a ''normal" course like a Muni or even a public course at peak times on a weekend you are NOT going to zip around in your precious 3:15 or whatever.

Bit of a cop out in that first line. I clearly wasn't talking about the math. The minutes/shot idea doesn't work because... 1. Putting is pretty much equal time no matter the handicap 2. Th

The local amateur circuit handles its tournament rounds in an interesting way. We go off the tee as threesomes, not foursomes (two carts, one with a single golfer). And, we start 10 minutes apart. We don't set any land speed records, but most of the groups make it around in 4:30 or so.

Main slowdown: bottlenecks, usually if two people from the same threesome have trouble finding a ball.

For some reason three golfers move along more smoothly than four.

Focus, connect and follow through!
