I hit off at 12.55pm yesterday, and by 6pm I am on the couch up to my 4th shot of whiskey picked up from Dan Murphys on the way home
That will do me just fine.
Looks like my club are getting really serious now about Slow Play, this kind of policy makes me happy:
PACE OF PLAY
It is obvious that the vast majority of members are now attempting to employ time-saving measures. Despite that, there are still many groups, including the majority who are employing SOME time-saving measures, who reduce the effectiveness of those measures, by failing to use ALL safe time-saving measures.
The Match Committee has introduced a Pace of Play Policy as a Local Rule.
* penalty for first breach: one-stroke penalty.
* penalty for second breach: General penalty (two-stroke penalty) applied in addition to the penalty for the first breach.
* penalty for third breach: Disqualification
The key criterion for our Pace of Play Policy is a group's position in relation to the group in front.
Many attempts over the past two decades at least, to improve the pace of play, have proved to be successful, but lasted only a short time. Current circumstances have highlighted how important it is that improvements to the pace of play must be sustained.
Edit: more content below:
A round of golf is meant to be played at a prompt pace.
Each player should recognize that his or her pace of play is likely to affect how long it will take other players to play their rounds, including those in the player?s own group and those in following groups.
Pace of Play Recommendations
The player should play at a prompt pace throughout the round, including the time taken to:
* Prepare for and make each stroke.
* Move from one place to another between strokes, and
* Move to the next teeing area after completing the hole.
A player should prepare in advance for the next stroke and be ready to play when it is his or her turn.
When it is the player's turn to play:
* It is recommended that the player make the stroke in no more than 40 seconds after he or she is (or should be) able to play (safely) without interference or distraction, and
* The player should usually be able to play more quickly than this and is encouraged to do so (provided that it can be done safely).

Scratch my head at this one. We are the last group in the field yesterday with 3 walkers and one cart. Group in front of us is in two carts being two senior couples play mixed foursomes.
Had to wait on every single shot and they finished more than six holes behind.
TC, whilst not wishing to lower the boom on these measures, all have been done before.
The only minor chance of success is if the course is marshalled (by someone who doesn't want to be friends with the members) and the Captain (as part of the match committee) is prepared to go the distance against the inevitable whining some of which will probably come from his own mates.
The complaints will come when you sit behind a group for 16 holes, lose a ball or two on 17 and come in behind. We had a penalty system attached to time behind the group in front. The above situation happened and one group was DQed on a Wednesday. The next week they played in front of the captain, walked the last two holes in and the captain was 20 mins behind and disqualified. Policy didn't last too long after that.
I hate to say it, but Perry and Jack you're on the money. The last 2 rounds at TTG have been 4.5 hours. Every Saturday is fully booked out and the matter of slow play seems to be getting worse despite constant memorandum from the Captain
Mmmm, disappointing, but as you conceded, hardly unexpected. Long ago I decided if I couldn't do 4.5 hr golf then I would need to find something else to do.
Remarkably we are doing 3.45-4hrs in our Wednesday comps (fields of 200) which is a joy and I guess can only be attributed to no bunker raking (preferred lies in the bunker) and the pin not coming out. If we can maintain the same pace, I will be advocating for those measures to remain.

Hellfire R9x would work.
