The dog days of summer are here...and like most things in August, our pace of play has slowed dramatically. In the last 2 weeks, barely 40% of groups are finishing in less than 4 hrs 15 minutes. 5 hour rounds have reappeared. No one likes that.
So...it's a perfect time for this general reminder. Just keep up with the group in front of you. It's as simple as that. But here's a few more tips for you:
Honors aren't honorable when it's 105 degrees.Everyone hates taking honors away from someone who just made birdie, but if they are lolly-gagging, seize that tee box!
Put your glove on while you’re walking to your ball, not when you get to it.
What if, and I know this sounds insane, you put your phone on airplane mode during the round?
Kizer and Clay's bermuda rough are making balls disappear. Watch your partner's shot. Remember to limit your lost ball search to 3 minutes.
Let's all do our part to make everyone's round more enjoyable!
