Fourputt...is that for a private or public course? I once mentioned to our (previous) club pro about 'pace of play' in regard to some slow players....and he said there is no stated pace (!!!!!). I said surely we must have some measure of what is 'slow' vs 'normal' pace of play? He simply said a two-some or higher do not have to let any other golfers play through, except out of their own courtesy, but that our club has no stated pace-of-play policy. I thought that was lunacy and stupid, although I have called the pro shop at times to have them check on groups that have fallen back 3 holes from the group they were behind, and they've sent someone out to 'say something' to the slow group. Most people at our club are courteous...I for one, don't like someone breathing down my back behind me and will always...always...allow someone who has caught up to me play through, although my own pace of play of 3.5-3.75 hrs with wife, both walking with pushcarts, is our normal pace, but I can do all 18 in 2.5 hrs if no one is ever in front of me.

My problem that screws up my game is that I stand over the ball with club in hand waiting at address, or practice swinging, during the time I'm waiting and when I finally hit, it may not go well. I have to convince myself to not even pull out a club intil they are off the green.
