why do ladies take so long to play a round?

[NWJocko]

I normally play in the first group out after our Ladies competition on Wednesdays, and have noted a subtle difference in behaviour between men and women golfers. Men tend to head straight off as individuals towards where they think their ball is lying, whereas women stay in a tight group nattering, and only split up to look for their golf balls when they get to the appropriate distance out. Don't think this makes them significantly slower though.

Any other sweeping generalisations/patronising stereotypes you want to include!!???

Or just change a rule so lady golfers can't walk down the fairway together!? :rofl:

Perhaps women hit it down the fairway more, so can walk together, where as men tend to have a more red arrows approach to golf.

I blame the juniors, seniors, ladies, single figure HC and High HCers for slow play....

The only one's who are not to be blamed are the middle aged, mid HC men......!!

I'll ask our LET player how long her rounds take when I see her next but from the events I've been too they are not slow.

Well as it happened she was playing in the Fiddle today and ended up in my group.

Normally rounds take about 4.5 hours and Pro am's 5.5 hrs. In tournament play they have 59 secs for their shot .

It was a pleasure to play with her, not that long off the tee, played off yellows with us , but pretty much middle of the fairway and then a fairly accurate second shot, missed a few greens but only failed to get up and down twice but still had 3 birdies ( manged to match her with 3 of my own )

Her PSR was methodical but very repetitive.

On the Greens , she would read the putt from both sides then line up her ball on her intended line, putter behind the ball then putt.
What was noticable was how well her putts rolled as opposed to our bobbly efforts

By no stretch of the imagination you would call her a slow player, always ready to play when it was her turn, bag at exit from the green etc etc .

if you are talking about prof golf then Mens and Womens are both pretty slow, but if its club golf then i would disagree. ive been a member a 4 clubs and the ladies at all of them have all been some of the quickest to let you though, unlike some other i could mention.

Be very surprised to see too many on the Ladies European Tour without a caddie. Too much at stake

Exactly. When the clip starts it was her turn to play and she hits the ball at 1:10

This ^^^^^
If I were last to tee off in a fourball and had to wait for nearly five minutes before I finally got to step onto the tee I'd be walking back to the clubhouse.
Oh I'd be swearing too.
