I guess I am fortunate as I live 10 minutes from a course and the group I am with has had first tee time Sat and Sunday for 15 years. During the spring and summer we are out at 6:30 and off by 9:30 or 10. Cost is reasonable around 2700 for year which gets you unlimited play but you need to use(pay for) cart on weekends. Those getting out on this course 10 am usually face a 6 hour round. I wouldnt play if I were facing that especially when Toga opens.

Yes, you are fortunate. Those 5-6 hour weekend rounds are no fun,havenot done it for years,but others have little choice.

Then there is the topic of rangers and keeping up the pace of play. how many courses now have aggressive rules to keep things moving ?

Some people should not be out on a course that iss too hard for them, but should be on 9 holers, or on pitch and putt courses, this is a big reason for slow play and 6 hour rounds. Guys hear about courses and want to play but donot have the ability to play and don't care, and the courses don't say or do anything to keep up play.,

Completely agree with you, and hitting into a group to get them going is a lost art.

I miss playing. I love playing. I realize my situation is different, but there was 8 year stretch or so, that I played 5 days a week, easily. There was never a problem finding a game, especially cash games. Like most, priorities are different now. I have said it before, if I never play another round of golf in my life, I will still have played a ton of golf.

You tampa reunion boys need to take heed. I already told Heels I'm gonna be hitting balls everyday at work between now and then. I will be primed and ready to wear you f*ckers out. especially the bowling shirt wearing, Chitown transplant still swinging the 1973 MacGregor Eye-O-Matic persimmon driver.

I'm actually enjoying the fact the 3 hour 4 man walking round is making its comeback. Its been long overdue. It leaves the possibility of playing 36 these days.
