Re: Dealing with slow play

I'd be lying if I said that having to wait on every shot doesn't affect me.

However, I'm trying to improve my coping techniques. When you're accustomed to playing 4-hr rounds, and you've grown to enjoy that pace, obviously it's not quite that easy to readjust to a different playing momentum. Easier said than done.

So I can either learn to deal with it positively and try to not allow it to determine how I play, or I can stew on it and allow it to make the game miserable. Doesn't mean that I endorse slow play, but I know that it's a product of the game and likewise part of the many challenges that face us occasionally.

It is indeed a game of patience.
