Nice result mate.
Do you think the bloke was honestly slow and always plays that speed or was it gamesmanship trying to put you off.

Cheers mate.

I think he’s genuinely slow, first time I’ve ever met him and after the round even when my PP had a word with him. He categorically stated he didn’t think he was slow, he thought we were rushing and not taking enough care over our shots. Even when pointing out we’d lost 2 holes so early in the round he claimed that’s because the group in front were rushing.

Several shots he’d walk on the centre of the green to read the breaks even though he was pitching from 20-30 yards off of the putting surface. My personal favourite Moment was on our 5th hole a long par 3, we were both pin high left with down hill chips, nothing to go over just a slope away to us with the pin about 35ft. Everything is in front of you and you can see it all, he watched me chip first to about 6ft which was good considering where the pin was. He’d watched it all the break , speed everything, only then did he walk to centre of the green read the line from behind the hole, side of the slope and behind his ball. He then thinned it straight through the other side into a bunker. He then repeated the process for the bunker shot and never even got the ball out of the sand

It’s shame as everyone I’ve met so far are really decent people this bloke was just oblivious to anyone outside of his own world.

Sounds like one to wait till he puts his name on the tee sheet and make sure your out before.
If you think all other members of your group is rushing and the 4 (I presume) in front are all rushing then maybe you would think that’s a ratio of 7:1 and maybe I’m the problem.

You will probably get him in the singles now

Absolutely one to avoid yet he is actually in my half of the drawer in the singles so that would be Sod’s Law .
