Sometimes slow play is ok

[sms316]

I heard on the radio this arvo that the average round in the cot by a man is 5 minutes. If you go three minutes or less you aren't being too considerate of your playing partner/s.

How long do you like to take to play a round?

Here's the story in The Age;

[Webster]

Are votes in this poll visible to other forum members?

[sms316]

Are votes in this poll visible to other forum members? No.

[Webster]

So, 27 minutes around the front nine is acceptable, and then you get to have a crack at the back nine?

[BenM]

Depends on the weather. Sometimes you just want to get off the course ASAP.

[Ferrins]

Do you let the group behind play through?

[sms316]

Do you let the group behind play through? Best ball?

[Webster]

For clarity, when does the 3 minutes starts and end? Do you include your usual pre shot routine? And does the timing end when your ball comes to rest between shots, or when you officially hole out?

[Jackson]

Is it like golf where you can just tell the Mrs that it goes for longer so you can spend more time drinking at the bar?

[Daves]

Is it like golf where you can just tell the Mrs that it goes for longer so you can spend more time drinking at the bar?

Or do you invite your mates around for drinks afterwards?

[Webster]

Or can you stop for a beer and a pie when you reach half way?

[sms316]

60% over 10 minutes. Some people are using training aids.

[matty]

At my course the back nine is a bit more of a challenge but very rewarding.

[liptout]

I can't even remember the time I played at my course......

Think the maintenance was getting done properly and the course got shut down.....

[BenM]

Lol... My local pretty much shut up shop once the membership started expanding! :D

[sms316]

Surely the "I do the washing by hand" option was taken by Jack?

[Webster]

Nup. I just assumed that was for all the WAnkers to vote as one?

[ZENNON]

My local course doesn't allow play on the back 9 at all

[Webster]

Not even when the front nine is GUR?

[Hatchman]

No play on the back 9 for me either.
I do how ever get to play the front any way I like.

[sms316]

I hope nobody is playing with juniors.

[BenM]

No play on the back 9 for me either.
I do how ever get to play the front any way I like.

You do have to think your way around it sometimes.

Also, accuracy off the tee is key otherwise you may find yourself deep in the shit.

[Shortylook]

i always thought it was a race so i figured stuff the other participant

[sms316]

Your missus shaun. Cool. Maintenance has gone downhill on that track over the last couple of years. Rough has grown considerably.

[Hatchman]

Top fuel drag race, all over in 4.5-5 sec?

[LeftyHoges]

What's par for the course?

Sometimes I can go around in 40 odd strokes, other times I play slow and have hundreds. Need to know par so I can figure out my handicap....

[Buzz]

Don't forget the DSR will affect handicap ...

... Not going near the slope calculation

[Webster]

Lefty, I assume these are comp rounds with the missus you refer to? ie, If you holed out with your first stroke, it would count as opposed to 'social play' with someone else where it would not?

[Yossarian]

Are wider courses going to be less penal? Which you think would make the round quicker but would in fact extend playing time.

[Dotty]

Are wider courses going to be less penal? Which you think would make the round quicker but would in fact extend playing time.
Those courses are more suitable for 4 ball events.

[LeftyHoges]

Lefty, I assume these are comp rounds with the missus you refer to? ie, If you holed out with your first stroke, it would count as opposed to 'social play' with someone else where it would not?

Correct, I only get handicapped on competition rounds.

Social rounds I don't worry about handicap. Allows me to take some experimental and "less-than-conventional" strokes.

[mike]

Any of you guys play away or is it your home course every time? That would probably make a difference but I wouldn't know.

[Hatchman]

It's important to play the course a variety of different ways. Attack the hole from different angles and sides.

[Hatchman]

Unless your in one of those exclusive clubs playing another course is strictly frowned upon and will most often result in your membership being cancelled for good.

[Webster]

Mike, pretty sure I do not have reciprocal playing rights at any other course. Even some harmless chipping and putting would be frowned upon, let along whipping the big dog out for a whack.

[sms316]

Anyone got a good reciprocal rights arrangement?

[Buzz]

It's expensive enough being a member at one course without exploring other membership options!

[sms316]

I'm pretty sure most courses have a member called Buzz.

[Daves]

Playing other courses requires you to use larger balls. And you have to be willing to lose them following a careless round.

[Steve57]

Other courses are out of bounds!

[Webster]

Back on topic for a moment, and for the benefit of those in the "3 minutes or less" group, are there any practice drills to improve pace of play? Is there anything in Rotellas books that talks about mental imagery to assist in holding shots back until required?

[mike]

Jack, try hanging some Karrie Webb posters in your clubhouse. Hope that helps.

[Yossarian]

I think you need to practise by yourself a bit to maybe release some of the tension caused by playing with others.

[Dotty]

I'm waiting for Ferrins to post whether spending $20 will get the same results as spending $700.

[Hatchman]

I think you need to practise by yourself a bit to maybe release some of the tension caused by playing with others.

That's like going out with a loaded gun.

[Monsta]

Not having a home course means a lot of practise by myself, but occasionally I play a "public" course. Time is never a worry depending on how much it is to play the course.

Back nines are usually more expensive.......................................

[Wenz]

I usually play on my own. So holes are really quick!

Just sucks when you get to a 4pack and they don't even consider letting your through!

[Monsta]

I'm pretty sure most courses have a member called Buzz.

Yoss joined the first course that would let him on to play.

[Yossarian]

How did you know?

[Ashes]

How did you know?

I have sources.

[Ashes]

****, I should have said I heard when I last played that course...

[Hatchman]

Before you became a member of one course. How many on here have played the same course after half or all of their mates have?

Not me for one. Some of my mates have played the same course after I had thou. I like to be the pioneer in my group.

I told him to not lick his balls clean if they had some fertiliser on them

Haha - a good policy.

Not Shotgun, but I beleive the Ferret played a round from multiple tees?

[Grunt]

How about playing in the wet? Seems to work better. self watered not previously irrigated.

[Ashes]

Who's woken up next to a course and had no idea if a round or two was played the night before?

[Buzz]

I think the bigger issue is that everyone knows regular play improves your game, but it's tough when the course you are a member of is closed for maintenance one week out of every four.

Have considered approaching the committee for a fees reduction as a consequence, but suspect said application would be firmly rebuffed.

Just put your foot down and say you're playing despite the conditions.

Just put your foot down and say you're playing despite the conditions. That's the sort of behavior that gets your membership suspended for lengthy periods ... So to speak.

[Ashes]

You misunderstood. I wasn't advocating jumping on the course without support of the committee; just saying you need to convince the committee that playing during maintenance isn't as bad as they think.

[Ron Burgundy]

Anyone got a good reciprocal rights arrangement? Not me unfortunately. But a mate convinced his home course to merge with another. He had exclusive access to all holes on the new composite course for around 6 months. Predictably there was a de-merger when he paid too much attention to the new course and the old course revoked his membership and called in the receivers. Would have been fun while it lasted.

[Buzz]

Ahhh I see your point. Indeed many applications have been made, but notoriously hard to sway these committees.

[990B Luva]

Having no home course, I've found the time a round takes depends on the course. A tight course shortens the time of the round, yet it is still enjoyable. Only a few courses I've played allow the back 9.

[Webster]

Could be like being a member at Metro, where everything is quite flat, prefectly maintained, but rather uninspiring after the first few games. Then along comes Miss Huntingdale from next door, with her artificial mounding, tendancy go hard up and back, and finish with some really strong testing holes. I can see the short term attraction could suck you in, but you'd be back over the fence at Metro after a few games at the dirty side of Windsor Avenue.

[Jackson]

I live on a property with twin courses, any tips on discussing the idea with the management of my course and the twin course of letting me play the full 36 one day?

[drobbo]

Who else has won Club Champs and got a trophy? I have won two, 1 and 3 years ago. Both trophies having spouts.
Unfortunately after you win the club champs, play seems to slow to a halt and doesn't seem to pick back up to pre champs level!

[mike]

It's been a while but I vaguely recall wearing a raincoat during play slowed things up quite a bit.

[Webster]

The raingear will definitely get you a bit furhter into the front nine when conditions are damp Mike.

[Hatchman]

Who's woken up next to a course and had no idea if a round or two was played the night before?

Yes.
Not sure if I should be proud to admit that or be ashamed. The driver was out when I woke all dirty needing a clean.
I'm going with proud as the course was quite tidy and seamed happy with my round even thou I have no idea that I played.

[matty]

Can't stand rain gear personally. Just lose all feel for the game.

[Hatchman]

Play also slows when you sign for life membership.

[Outcast]

You mean your playing rights get suspended don't you?

[aussieashley]

I think life membership still entitles you to food and drinks in the clubhouse, but very limited playing rights.

Where is the value in 7 day membership if you can only get on once a fortnight ?

A former coach of mine managed to secure reciprocals, although he, inexplicably, allowed public access to his private course as part of the deal. Unsurprisingly he found out it was harder to get tee times than he has anticipated and there was a long line of golfers looking to tee off on his private track. The deal finally fell apart when one of his players teed one up on his private course...

He is still with the same course funnily enough.

[BenM]

Membership suspension would occur if you were caught playing another course were the committee decided immediate cancellation was not required.

[graham_w]

I had a mate who was a member of a friendly course. He lived in course side accommodation, so could have a hit whenever he wanted. The part I couldn't understand was that he had a friend who he lived with who also enjoyed having a hit on the course. He told me that he was fine with others having a hit on the course when he wasn't playing, and that he often played 4 ball on the course with the house mate.

[Grunt]

I was accused of playing on another course and even though I did not, the membership is still on restrictions.

[Buzz]

Is it any wonder that the younger players are forsaking memberships and opting instead for pay-per-play.

[Ashes]

Is it any wonder that the younger players are forsaking memberships and opting instead for pay-per-play.

I reckon there'd be a few stuck at home playing on their own with a simulator instead of out there looking for new courses.

The sad thing is those simulators probably give then a false idea of what they can actually do on a course.

[matty]

I dream of once a fortnight.

But I bet when the membership drive for juniors is on the committee is happy for the course to be very busy.

But I bet when the membership drive for juniors is on the committee is happy for the course to be very busy.

Correct!

[Hatchman]

But I bet when the membership drive for juniors is on the committee is happy for the course to be very busy.

When that happens the committee wants the course played at all hours of the day and night and often multiple rounds on the same day.

[Outcast]

But, then the course is often closed once the junior members are on the books...

[Buzz]

But I bet when the membership drive for juniors is on the committee is happy for the course to be very busy. I can vouch for that ... However once a junior member signs on for his nine month probation, opportunites for the senior member to play the course are significantly reduced again.

[BenM]

I can vouch for that ... However once a junior member signs on for his nine month probation, opportunites for the senior member to play the course are significantly reduced again.

This is what I am finding. Opportunities to play have once again become severely limited. Though I have heard that on some courses if there are junior members awaiting their board acceptance, the course becomes far more playable in the latter stages of the probationary period (albeit it may need to be played slightly differently as the layout is considerably wider).

I have heard these reports too. Instead I'm finding the course is closed for prolonged periods but there is the occasional day where the committee encourages me to play several rounds in a day.

[Hatchman]

It's seems to be very true that in the last month or two before the junior member's 9 month probation is up the course is open for play more frequently post junior sign up.

This must be a tactic by the committee to keep the member interested in maintaining membership while the state of the course has altered before closing for a while.

[Grunt]

Geez that's tough ... I guess the committee at the other course can't confirm you never made a booking?
One good thing was the other course was A grade so to be accused meant I must be playing ok. A far as I know the other course is a known to go on membership drives. Rumour was spread from other courses amongst junior cadet training meeting.

[Hatchman]

Is it poor form to play on a course without getting the name of the course?

[drobbo]

Is it poor form to play on a course without getting the name of the course?

Not if you play a quick 9 and leave, however if you intend to have another round or call in for a meal, the name is critical.

Anyone keep a collection of the courses they have played?

[mrbluu]

If its been a while since I've got to play a round I find that's I sometimes play the front 9 very quickly, which is fine for me but course management is some times not pleased. I make up for it by taking more time to make sure than second 9 is played to the management's satisfaction.

[liptout]

Before I was a member of an exclusive private course, I used to play any course I would come across.....

Long courses with narrow fairways, short courses with wide fairways and big landing areas, courses with a lot of rough and some without. And even courses with a lot of very obvious hazards...... It didn't matter too much, I just wanted to play.

Only problem was though on some of the courses I must have been allergic to what substance they used for their maintenance, cause many a time after I walked out of the club house I would be all itchy and couldn't stop scratching!! :?

[Marto65]

I can vouch for that ... However once a junior member signs on for his nine month probation, opportunites for the senior member to play the course are significantly reduced again.

Maybe the committee don't want the new juniors getting wet or getting a bump on the head.

Some of those courses must have been by the sea as during certain times the crabs move in. Little buggers tend to attach to the players equipment for migration to another course.

Anyone ever got to a new course, whipped out the big dog and realised someone has put in the senior flex shaft?

[Ron Burgundy]

Anyone ever got to a new course, whipped out the big dog and realised someone has put in the senior flex shaft? Only the once. Had gone a little heavy on the deer antler powder pre-round.

[Dcanto]

During my uni days a mate was invited to play a new course. He had quite a few pre-round beverages and happened to make a comment to the committee that he thought the round would be more enjoyable if the fairways and greens were cut very low. The committee agreed to his request provided he was willing to operate the fairway / greens mower. Given the amount of beverages consumed it was lucky that he didn't destroy the greens before playing his round.

[Marto65]

Does anyone play on a course that has been reconstructed?

I been playing the same course for 18 years, membership expanded 3 times and I still play it 2-3x a week. Lately the rough has overgrown abit, and I really am enjoying it for a change. Even GUR and the course gets played.
Love a hairy pie before I play, or even play a bit then pop in for a pie, makes the pie seem hotter and moist if you play a few strokes before.
Never got onto the back 9, even though I been really keen. Any tips to get on the back?

My personal game was outstanding although i rushed though a few holes early a bit quick.
Once i found my rhythm, all was good.
The 2 course treated each other with respect, these where Group 1 Courses...

Free round.
I was a member of one course and the other course was "reciprocal"
Not the course I'm a member of now though....
I think i still have pics of the round somewhere!

Anyone played another course and you where the low marker "swinger"?
How'd it go....

I'm very happy with my course. I still enjoy it and it still intrigues me after 20 years. Have always been very impressed by the mounding and the layout. I'm still learning more about the course and hopefully get to continue membership for the next 40+ years. Would like to play more often though. There's a goodly supply of juniors that have come through.

It probably thinks I'm just a hacker off 20 who thinks he's a scratch golfer.

So you talk up your game then fail to deliver?

Something like that. I'd love to have more opportunities to practice and at least be off single figures!

Anyone ever shoot a very good score on a course and get invites to play other courses as a result?

God bless sorority girls.

4 and 5 jacking doesn't get you positive reviews.

[Hatchman]

How many have videoed their play on the course and reviewed the game?

How easy was it to convince course management that it was a good idea?

[Captain Nemo]

I've still got footage of a good round on handycam or VHS tape somewhere!

I remember in my past maybe 10 yeras ago i played four different courses in 5 days. It was like a golfing trip like no other. I ate at all of the tracks too. And tan tracked one of them. Hi Sharon!

Is that where your forum name came from? :p

[Tongueboy]

The one I tan tracked gave me that tag! God love her!

Seems that I may have been given conditional approval to add a second nine to the course. Any tips on how to integrate in order to have a completed fun course?

[Captain Nemo]

?

[Dotty]

Is that the course in your avatar?

No mate. That's Nambour. I'm thinking something more like Links Lady Bay.

[Tongueboy]

Be careful around the taint.

Pot the pink before going for the brown, worth more points.

Whoops wrong game, concept same thou.

[Haystacks]

Make sure you clean your equipment thoroughly after playing the back nine...and definitely no swapping between back nine & front nine repeatedly-you don't want cross contamination!

Wrong tangent lads. I'm talking more about a composite course.

[Captain Nemo]

Like Nudgee or Royal Melbourne....!
:lol:

[Haystacks]

Righto then...not front nine and back nine, but another front nine. Any possibility of 27 holes, or even 36 over the two courses?

[Captain Nemo]

Got any Pics,course notes?
:)

It would be unfortunate if the other course only had blue tees, not red.

[Lucasto23]

It seem this 2nd course could have very expensive joining fees in the long run

[Hatchman]

Just watch out, one of the conditions could be play as a mens foursome championship.

This has been discussed and decided against.
