So what? I'm playing $5/ hole with my buddies and that's big time money to us. It's all relative. A twosome SHOULD NOT take 4+ hours to knock out 18!
Granted a start by the pros to pick up the pace is a step in the right direction but, it's not going to make a huge difference though. I think the instructors who keep preaching all the pre-shot routine madness are a better place to start with improving pace of play.
Tee it forward is still the most promising movement towards making rounds go much quicker. I've played only a handful rounds from blue tees this year (got close to 50 rounds in so far). While I have the distance to comfortably play farther back, my friends who play a few times a year, do not. By taking the lead and walking to whites before they auto-run to the farthest box they can spot, we're keeping our time on the course much more enjoyable and quicker.
