3 minutes to find ball

No second hand Colin ?

Entry level model - you count the ticks.
De Luxe model still to be developed - comes with second hand as standard.
The Ultra Superior model - comes with built-in beer cooler.

(I'll ignore what sort of state a second hand Colin might be in ;).)
 
This thread has highlighted something we can all look forward to!! It seems to have slipped many peoples attention....

WE WILL HAVE NO MORE SLOW PLAY THREADS!!!! WHOOP WHOOP!

Why? How come?
Well, no one carries a watch anymore or has their phone on! So the reality is they don't know whether they are slow or fast. This is great news forum, we can all rejoice!
Just because I don't carry a watch doesn't mean I can't measure slow play, I carry a calendar. ;)
 
The first post I can see mentioning cheating is #106 with a reference to #100. But I don't see any accusations of cheating by a proponent of timing.
(Unless I missed one).
 
So Saturday always a big day golfing wise - who cheated today and who didn't?!!!! 😉😂😂😂
 
We had one major search today. My ball left of the par 3 5th. Started the timer on my Fitbit as I got to where I thought it was and began the search.

Kept a check on the watch as I looked in various spots. 3 mins is ample time to do a decent search. Time for others to help out too.

Located the ball at 2mins 45seconds.

Could feel partners beginning to give it up as lost.

No other major searches were required.

Still made double lol

Not me, I discovered that my Garmin S2, a fairly basic GPS watch, has the time display in minutes & seconds so no problems here (y)

Unfortunately didn't stop The Jezster's lot dumping us out of the Surrey 5's though. :(
 
Couldn’t be arsed to look properly so didn’t bother with a clock
 
Didn’t bother with a timer today - found my ball in the fairway all day 😂


We did have a little time a few times for others and we decided to see how good everyone’s judgement was.

3 ball searches - I timed , we looked , people stopped when they thought it was 3 mins , 1st time was just over 4 mins , second time was just over 3 mins and last time was just under 3 mins
 
Simple, give every game 3 minute timer and a Ref's whistle , let the game behind time the game in front and blow the whistle when their 3 minute search time is up. :eek::love:
That would be great fun :ROFLMAO:, :whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle: .
