I'll tell you. The time between getting the notice your clubs haves shipped and when they actually get there. It was long enough waiting from the time I ordered until they were shipped.

Tomorrow and Friday at this time I'll be warming up for my round.  That's a long time from now!

Waiting on a par-3 tee for the green to clear is the longest for me, especially if it's in a club event where they're supposed to wave us up.

And avoiding the temptation to give them a vocabulary lesson.  "Let me teach you the Scottish word for Mulligan.  They invented golf, y'know.  Their word for 'mulligan' is 'hitting three.'"

Watching the 3 other players in your group chip on to the green and marking their ball when it's in NO position or line of play of the others...

Also, the guy who seemingly must walk back to the "club house" to mark a putt...
All day long, get a clue, the shortest distance is the line you just made your putt.  :doh:

Hmmm, I hadn't expected this to turn into a complaint thread about slow play....

The longest time in my golf experience has been the time a birdie putt from 30 feet drops in the cup until the crowd roars. All these others eventually end. I'm still waiting.

Second place goes to the time from the last putt until the next drive. My goal is to shorten it as much as possible. Slow play is like the weather. Everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it.

Golf is like sailing. Not for Type A personalities, or perfect for those of us who are trying to treat our Type A so it doesn't get out of hand as often. With sailing, you get there when you get there. A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. I'll wait for that next good shot, the next good putt, as long as it takes.

Waiting in the line up on the first tee to start the round off. . 

That, or those double breaking snakes putts, as they slowly make their way into the cup.

After hitting an okay drive that you should be able to find but you can't, the 5 (2) minute search period as well as going back to the tee box if there's anybody there is the longest time for me.

Second goes to after getting a new club, the wait time to actually use it on the course.

Third would be times between hitting a good shot.  I hit one once two years ago, haven't hit another since.....

Seriously? With the phrase "longest time" embedded in it? My first instinct was imagining the  time it takes for a Tour pro to start sizing up his putt until he strokes it!

I think if he's "stroking it" on the green, there are deeper issues involved...

Not sure about the longest, but the shortest period of time is that between a tour pro making contact with the ball and some idiot yelling "get in the hole." 

Tee shot on a 600-yard par-5? Seriously?

Wedges: TaylorMade Black Oxide, 52, 56, and 60 degrees, graphite shafts
Putter: Rife Barbados mallet, 35 inches with SuperStroke 2.0 grip                                                                                                      Ball: Titleist AVX yellow

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
