Foxholer
Blackballed
It IS time consuming! But half an hour less on the course isn't going to change that!...
Interesting that a lot of people say they don't want to rush round when you hear lots of comments about people giving up golf because it's too time consuming.
For me at my 'favourite' course, it takes an hour each way to/from the course 20 mins or so before tee off; 4 and a half hours for our 4-ball to get round (it's just that sort of course!) an hour and a half for afters. So the whole day is committed to that round - and the camaradie that goes with it.
If I wanted a quick round, I'd go down to the (walkable to even) 9-holer during the week and get around in an hour and a quarter!
