Is pace of play *actually* hurting the game?
I think anything that reduces the enjoyment of golf potentially is bad for the game. For me, I can be patient and in my experience most of the time a group in front of me is ‘slow’ it is because the course is backed up so there is no benefit to them moving briskly through a hole. Of course there are exceptions... But what bothers me about slow play is that it impacts my game. It’s difficult to maintain focus when there is not a decent tempo and I rarely play well when I have to wait and wait and wait in between shots.
