Playing 18 on my home course (member) today and got scolded by the ranger for the first time ever.
We were playing our normal foursome, teed off at 7:48. There was another foursome in front of us that we were keeping pace with. Two threesomes came up behind us on 5 and appeared impatient.
At the turn, the foursome ahead was done (played 9) and one of our group dropped out, leaving us with three. We pulled away from the group behind us but someone reported us for slow play and the ranger got us on 11. Nice enough but let us know we needed to pick it up.
Played the front in 1:58 and finished 18 in 3:35. I guess the threesomes expected the pace to suit them and not a foursome...
