I had a 8:10 tee time this AM @ Trump Ferry Point. As a single, they paired me with a threesome who had taken a forecaddie. They were young guys in their early 30's. We were the first tee time of the day so I am thinking great, we'll get in a pretty quick round.
Well, after the first hole I realized this was going to be a slow round. Now, I wasn't in a rush but I spent a lot of time waiting on the first hole. I hit a good drive, and 8 iron to 6 feet and made the birdie putt but basically waited for 15 minutes while numerous balls were being hit, lost, looked for...
I seriously considered detaching myself from the group and just playing as a single. I could have got around pretty quickly. I decided not to because I wasn't in a rush and wanted to enjoy the round but the pace of play was torturous. We finished at 1PM, close to 5 hours with nobody in front of us.
What would you do? Stay with the group or go ahead by yourself?
BTW, they were nice guys but were clueless about stepping on lines, etc on the green.
