What does one wear to play speed golf?  I sweat enough just riding and playing regular golf in the heat of the summer.

I'm interested  in speed golf, I like playing fast, but I tend to lose concentration on score when I play fast.  There's a part of me that thinks if I'm adding my time to my score like speed golf it will help me stay focused.

It will probably need to be seperate than regular golf with designated times etc. The only way I really see it improving pace of play would be if peopleft try it and they shoot lower with 7 clubs, and playing as fast as they can. Which is a possibility.

 As far as why, would I even consider.  1. is excercise 2. I love golf and this might be a way to get 9 holes in afterror work with out taking away from the fam. 3. is the fam, the idea that in the time it takes me to play the weekend blitz I play I could play 2 and a half rounds, leaves me thinking  I that once in a while I could trade the normal  for more golf or more family time and yet still have a round in.

    • I haven't run the ShotScope yet, but I played 18 today.  I hit a great drive on 6 and then, holes 7-17 (excluding par-3s) I hit some very uninspired drives.  Then, after hitting on 17, I realized I'm over-swinging.  So at 18, I took a practice swing with the drill I've been doing during practice shots at home the past few weeks.  Then I decided, one more practice swing, but you know, with the ball right there. So I did.  I didn't even hit it at full speed.  It resulted in a nice high draw and settled onto the fairway.  To put it simply:  if the rules allowed me to place the ball anywhere in my reasonable shot zone as that tee shot, the spot I would have chosen is where it ended up.  I went on to hit two more good shots (it's a par-5) and left myself with a 7' birdie putt.  While I missed it, that drive is going to stay in my head for a very long time. 
    • Day 59, June 25.  Played 18 today.  I'll tell a story on the "best shot of the week" thread that makes me think happy thoughts.
    • Day 631 - 2026-06-25 Long day, but stayed a bit to get fifteen minutes of work in. Foam balls. Throwing the back of the club behind me.
    • Day 5 (25 Jun 26) - continued drills w/7i, hard foam balls focused on “nipping the tee below the ball” to reinforce consistent face contact.  Hit about 40 shots total. 
    • Day 294 6-25 Low point control with towel. Then hit some foam balls with flow drill. Recorded.
