Oh I think that's overrated. So what I made a bird....if your ready go right ahead. Not insulted at all I don't care if I eagled and that's a real honest truth. I mean I will respect your wishes if you want the bird honors and cant get over yourself but I find that whole thing kind of ridiculous. Just not imo any big deal at all. Imo anyone who is ready should just go regardless of score. I could truly care less what I scored as for the already played hole. It just doesn't mean anything once the hole is over. I'll cooperate if one feels insulted or ripped of his self rewarded knighthood for the bird. I congratulated you on the bird and imo that should be enough, its over in the past and now we move on. But that's just me.
I guess I'm just a traditionalist then.

There will be none of that allowed around here. You must play as fast as possible so everyone can get back inside to watch netflix and surf the web. Seconds count and if the round is over 3 hours, you will be publicly humiliated. So don't even think about sharing the enjoyment of your friend making a good putt for an under par. Golf isn't about that.
Who is really saying that?
Certainly not me. I just find the whole honors for a score on the prior hole is not at all any big deal. I also did fwiw say that if its my bird I dont care who goes first on the next tee. I wouldnt feel disrespected nor do i feel it needs to be recognized via any honor on the next tee. I just think so what I got a bird on the last hole. im happy to have one of course but getting honors on the next tee for doing so? nah, why would or should that bother me? I simply really wouldnt care is all. has nothing at all to do with rushing the golf which by the way is something i dont even like to do.
fwiw I always walk and if with one or others who has a cart I am usually the first one on the next tee because i have no cart top go and get and pull around. If im with all walkers and I had a bird i just tell whomever is there first to go ahead and hit. If im there first ill hit. If im there first and not the bird scorer I will nod the tee to that bird because i know how some peopl;e feel about it. And sometimes they say tell me go ahead if Im rweady. But sometimes thye dont as some people get insulted. I just think it ridiculous to be insulted. Its something that simply doesn't do anything for me is all.
there have been times i forgot about another bird within a 4some or simply didnt realize someone had one. i dont always pay attention to others scores and just give a comngratz to any goof shot or putt. I have gone and teed over birds unintentionally. i (if i know afterwards0 usually apologize for it. But its an honest mistake. But thats the thing.....ity shouldnt imo even be a mistake cause i find that tradition holds little to no real value. Play thouisands of rounds have made countless birds even at my mid/high cap. and so have many others. Imo great but no big deal. nothing to do with rushing. and nothing im to do with the next hole. Just ready golf and what i think is an overrated necessary antic. But again i will respect your wishes of the self rewarded knighthood if you find it disrespectful not to. I have no problem doing that. It doesnt make me angry or anything. I just find its not something i care much about is all.
