Don't know, I'd imagine there was a concession or two - but pretty sure they weren't using Aimpoint.Bloody hell, are you sure they were putting?

Oh dear,I assume that you wouldn't give him one -if you had it?...The chocolate flake that is!..What has being a member of a Masonic Lodge-or any other good cause organisation got to do with being a knobhead-don't get it at all+lawyer pleading poverty on his behalf plus the stress of lockdown---is this not still winter season for outside ice-cream vendors???That 4 must be on a par 5 then ?
Wait til he has his disciplinary meeting with the Masonic lodge ?. Pah, Masonic lodge that’s why he got a light sentence. You scratch my back and al give you and extra chocolate flake on yer ice cream next time your passing by your honour.
Playing a 2-ball on a Saturday was always going to be hard going, like trying to drive a Ferrari through London in rush hour3.75 hours to play a round today in a 2 ball. It was not fun.
oh my, that does seem a bit slow, was there a reason for the hold upsNo choice 2 balls only atm.
Whilst overall time is important I'm generally of the view it's how the round "feels". The good ones are the ones that flow - as you tee up the group in front has just moved out of range, as you approach your tee shot they've just moved off the green - that sort of thing. It's lots of stop-start that generally irritates people.How about what some clubs do on the scorecard.. put a target time for each hole. Obviously it will vary on the number of players, skill and fitness but at least it's a gentle reminder of the pace of play that you should be aiming for.
At my daughters course they are playing 2 balls only at 10 minute starts.
Most rounds completed in 2.5 to 3 hours and they are loving it.
Turnberry Ailsa was busy the other week and seemed to be doing the same, most of the players looked like over 50's to seniors age bracket.
I gave up golf 4 years ago because of slow play.
The OAP's were generally quite quick it was the younger overweight lycra clad posers with their electric trollies and various forms of 'apps' who were generally to blame.
How would you notice slow play with 4.15 to 4.30 being the accepted normal round and everyone just out to enjoy the walk and the banter with the rest of their four ball?Must be different down south because any slow play issues we have seen are all down to the senior players taking there time.
If it’s 10 gaps and 2 balls then it’s not going to be a big membership as that only approx 90-100 people being able to play 18 holes each day unless they have put restrictions on how many times you can play
Now imagine the club has over 500 members - not so great then
And I have no doubt they are enjoying it - it gives the seniors plenty of time to faff around and be as slow as they want in 10 minute 2 balls

Very true.How would you notice slow play with 4.15 to 4.30 being the accepted normal round and everyone just out to enjoy the walk and the banter with the rest of their four ball?
Surely they'd have let the following groups through thoughNormally by the 30 min gap in front of fourballs with a queue of people behind them waiting on every shot

Sound like low handicappers to me - they are usually the only ones in my experience who's 'pride' won't allow them to let hackers through not matter how slow they are.???? don’t be silly -they wouldn’t even dare let someone through , that would be a submission of them being slow and holding up the golf course

So not just old people as you posted earlier? - there are people on this thread who've posted that 'It's not a race and I'm out there to have a break from the rest of my life' how about them?Nope not low handicappers - just slow players regardless of their handicap , people that walk slowly , take their trolley right up to the ball , ignore ready golf
Mainly people who have been playing the game for a long time and still have the attitude that “it’s not a race” “ a one ball doesn’t have standing” “ we are a three ball and you are a fourball so stay behind us” “ I’m out here enjoying time with Fred”
