Love that, I have an occasional mate who plays, like me, off a struggling 28, yet still cleans every club, measures, line's up, adjusts stance, waits for a flock of f**king seagulls to pass by, re-adjusts, wiggles, pauses, throws his arms forward twice whilst holding the club, re-aligns (so different from re-adjusts) and then hits it twelve yards forward.

Slow play has, will (IS) killing golf. Play when you're ready, tell partners who are slow to speed up, leave the flag stick in (you're not a pro), always play a provisional ball in a competition, and if you're just twatting around play where the ball is lost and add 2 shots (we always did this as juniors anyway - looking for a lost ball was an opportunity to find other balls).
LOVE the game. ****ING hate the rules.

strong and stable with me, or...
Careful you don't kill anyone for slow play...

You go back to the tee and play 3 (annoying the group behind and holding up your group?) or you just play one from where you think it went? I guess the answer is different for social golf rather than competitions?

If it a comp, three off the tee every time..social golf you drop where it went in no nearer the hole and take penalty shots...thing is I am off 1o now and we have a internal society every Saturday ( medal an stableford every second week) our society plays front or back 9 weekly , two pound to enter and 1 pound for a two. Best 10 scores over the period April to first satdi in November. Prize fund builds over the period to over £1,000 shared between top 10. Winner gets £350. It's really worth playing and there is weekly prizes and Texas scrambles etc.
I struggle to win things as I am in the gold section against scratch etc handicappers so I have to be at my best to come close. These new rules will speed up the game, but a lot of decent golfers take their time for a reason!

There was years ago but nobody was ever interested in actually playing. Plus there was REMF once a year, that was really good.

REMF golf day does still happen. I organised for a few years and then the late tony langridge took it on and made it brilliant. His son mike now runs it at mid sussex and it is bloody hard work too.
I normally do the auction.

I like the new rules, anything that speeds things up a bit.
REMF was a great day out!
