Club Champion
i played today in a so called friendly stableford game, their were seven players including myself we all throw a fiver in, the winner takes the cash.i'd played with one of the blokes before the rest i'd never met although they're all members of my club. i was in a 3 ball with a bloke i'd played with before who's off 16 and another bloke off 11.(i'm off 18) we set off and the 11hcp is a really quick player and after a few holes is saying we need to speed up, i'm someone who likes to take my time and gets a bit flustered when i feel like i'm rushing, when i do try to speed up my pace of play the wheels usually come off. anyway i did speed up a bit and hit a few wild shots but a few good ones too.then we get to the par 5 7th, the 11hcp hits his drive OB right, reloads and duffs his drive into a ditch in front of the tee. he then chucks his driver and says f*** it i'm going home, then as he's storming off says f*** you's i'd be here all day with you two! we carried on playing but i just couldn't get my head together and the wheels came off big time. i'd been thinking off playing in the comps at my club but this has put me off, i'd rather play by myself than have rounds like that.anyone else had an experience like that or have any tips how to deal with it? or any tips how to speed up play? like i said i know i'm a slow player and struggle to play quickly
