I'm just going to say it... what is your damn hurry?! I play close to 100 rounds per year and can count on 1 hand the number of time a round takes longer than 4:15, but I'm being pushed around the course on 25-35 of those rounds. I am SICK OF IT!!!!
Golf is a leisure activity. An 18 hole round of golf for four, on a regulation course, played with any focus/effort at all takes at least 4 hours. Get over it! If you don't have four hours, stay home, play nine, or go to the range. I AM DONE rushing through my round while shooting 75-80 and feeling guilty because you're leaning on your club in the fairway behind me. You played from the senior tees (I played from the tips) and are waiting to hit your pitching wedge onto the green after which you will putt it to within 5 feet, call that a gimme and be standing on the next tee before i can hit my 2nd shot (despite having piped a 280 yard tee shot!). I'M DONE!!!!!!
Just played 18 holes with the wife and two friends. I shot 79, wife 94 and the other two struggled. But we played in 3:40 on a VERY tricky course we'd never seen before. Meanwhile these 4 members were hitting into us and driving up on us all day despite the fact that there was clearly nowhere to go.
I don't know why people want to make golf into Twitter, but it is not 140 characters, it's 4 hours with friends, focusing on your shot/putt/etc., thinking, efforting to do the best you can. I can shoot 85 instead of 78 so you can finish 10 minutes sooner, but I WILL NOT do it any longer. If you don't like it, push me and look out for the stinger 4 iron I hit back at you!!!!!!!
