I am of the belief that the tees played doesnt make a huge deal as much as its discussed.
At the end of the day, people are just slow. They get to their ball and then take 2 minutes to even get into their setup.
Then all hell breaks less around the green (not on it, but around it).
Pre-shot routines get longer and longer the closer golfers get to the hole.
And of course in between holes, having to input all of their data to keep track of the data that they will never use.
If people would get to their ball, get the club and swing, and save the social stuff for slight delays, par 3s, etc. It would all go away.
At the end of the day, people forget that out of hundreds of players, it only takes 5 or so to take down the entire course.
Very well said. I've played with people struggling to break 100 and gotten around in 3.5 hours, and I've played with scratch golfers who obsess over every shot for 5 minutes before pulling a club. Pace doesn't have a lot to do with skill or choosing the right tees.
