I did "lemme explain", so...lemme explain.
My answer is Yes, but only if all conditions are equal including skill level. Just sheer amount of time to walk and or ride to your ball, to then hit again and you typically would not ever wait on the green to clear on a par 5. Those two things alone would add up over 18.
It's not much. but in theory it should be quicker overall. I mean it's gotta be theoretically what, like a few minutes?
Now add in a slightly better short hitter vs a slightly worse longer hitter and the shorter hitter could probably play faster by a lot if that longer hitter is spraying it a bit.
