That doesn't change that you're wrong. Private clubs don't need people to come back, so they police the place well. Public courses need green fees and tend to ignore it. If you're at private joint with slow play and you don't address it , it's your fault.

Really? I had no idea public courses need green fees. Imagine that. I tend to not be an uptight prick, and unless someone is obviously not attempting to play fast I don't feel the need to cry like a baby. You obviously feel its necessary. Private clubs need memberships, so no they aren't going to kick out every slow golfer. Some clubs sure, but not all.

You don't seem to understand. Given some of your responses here, that shocks me.

I understand what you are saying. I just commented that I have played behind slow groups at very nice/expensive clubs. You responded with your typical jab. It happens.

No, you don't understand what I'm saying and your anecdotal evidence was underwhelming. Your implied response from the club was just senseless, but please, carry on. Maybe some of your buddies will join you soon. Community college will be especially helpful.

Please enlighten me so I may attempt to understand your vastly superior point of view.

No his response was that he played behind slow players at private clubs & you said he didn't. Lol. Your Internet ego is something else which explains your user name. Of course you never witness slow play it's just something you heard of since you don't subject yourself to public courses but your an internet expert on it nonetheless. Lol. You're a joke.

Where do you play most of your golf GA?

River Forest Country Club in Forsyth, GA. Also play a lot at Healy Point in Macon. Both are private clubs owned by the same management company. It's a pretty sweet deal. I'm basically a member of 20 courses in ATL and Mid GA and 4 at Hilton Head.

20? Wow, I'm impressed. I'm not far from Hilton Head. I plan to play some there next year.

Pinecrest (which sucks), Eagle Pointe and Crescent Pointe in Bluffton right before the bridge and Dolphin Head over on Port Royal. I don't play those much down there though since I'd rather just play the courses in Sea Pines or Palmetto Dunes.

I have been stuck behind slow play at least half the time I've been "fortunate" enough to play private courses. A bunch of rich big wigs who think just because they have $5,000 worth of equipment and their own golf cart, those constant shots into the woods are just anomalies. Or the fourjack on the green, even though they lined all of them up.

When slow play is a serious issue on the PGA tour, you know it's a problem everywhere.

The only place I've ever been that doesn't have that problem is Japan. It's crazy how fast they play. They play like Godzilla himself is in the group behind them

PGA slow play is a whole different animal though. I have a hard time begrudging anybody for slowing down when there's 6 figures on the line.

Wasn't the final group at the Brittish Open put on the clock?
