Smiffy
Grand Slam Winner
As most of you know, I organise (or used to) a lot of forum meets and always stipulate before players start their rounds the requirement to keep up with play, if you can't score on a hole pick up, etc. etc. etc.
It frustrated me at the recent Cooden meet when I stepped onto the 13th tee (which is right next door to the 9th) to see 3 players walking towards their balls on the 8th fairway not yet ready to play their 2nd shots but the group in front were putting out on the 9th green. Bearing in mind the 9th is a par 5 it just shows how far this particular group had fallen behind. They should have at least been walking off the 9th tee after playing their tee shots, but still had another 10 minutes (at least) left to play the 8th.
