Re: Pace of Play (not a complaint)

It does help to have a ranger in designated trouble areas where pace usually starts to become an issue. The prevailing issue at our facility, however, is that we have four consecutive holes that can easily eat someone's lunch. Having a tough stretch of holes like that doesn't exactly make it possible for the rangers to be there watching for errant tee shots.

I think that if the owner had it to do over, those holes would be a little less difficult. If there's a pace issue on our course, that's typically where it is -- that stretch of holes.
Then again, that stretch is really a great test and makes a good score on the front nine more gratifying. Take away those four holes, you lose a great deal of character for this golf course.
