Did a search and didn't see a topic for this and JB's post got me thinking about it. Do you answer your phone when on the course? I know a lot of guys that don't and I know some that do.
For me it is a must because of the business I am in. If I don't take the call, there is a good chance that before I finish my round and return the call they have already called another agent and I lose business. I try to make the conversations short but there are times I can be on the phone for an hour or more. Sometimes I am able to put it on speaker and continue my round but sometimes I am not. Now I will say I would not make any playing partners stop and wait on me for an hour that would be ridiculous but I play alone quite frequently because of my schedule flexibility.
I guess the second part of the question is if you answer your phone, do you feel like it sometimes impacts your play?
I definitely see it happen at times. Sometimes its the nature of the call that just causes me so much irritation that I lose focus and do stupid things when I try and play. Sometimes its just a matter of having to stop long enough that I lose my rhythm and have to work to get it back.
