Amen.. If I spend 40+ bucks to play golf then why would I want to rush it and finish as quickly as possible? You're there to enjoy your time and the game, not to finish the round as fast as possible so that someone on a 3 and a half hour time limit doesn't get in trouble by the wife.. I'm in no way promoting slow play but I do think we are too rushed sometimes in thinking that we have to finish as quickly as we can.
That comparison doesn't even make sense and it definitely doesn't warrant a response.. As for asking the clubhouse if they'll let me "romp around in the woods for free stuff," I've already mentioned about 324534 times that everyone that works on the course knows that I'm in the woods, even the marshals. Some of you guys need to loosen up and actually try having a good time..
