Unpopularity of Slow Play

photo credit: avlxyz     Playing with a slow player is just no fun.   Most slow players don't  even realize they are playing slow and if you  mention it  to them, they  are offended.   The suggestion is not fast play, just don't lag and ruin  the round for everyone else.

There is a certain  playing cadence  that develops during every round.   The idea is to stay within the  momentum of play.   Slow players destroy the tempo of play without even realizing it.

The biggest reason for slow play is not thinking ahead.   Once a shot is taken, concentration on the very  next shot should begin.   Once the ball is reached,  take one practice swing and unload.   Deep rough, uneven lies or bunker shots,  may require several practice swings.    Remember, playing slow does not  mean playing better!
