And I've found you don't really slow anything down as a bad player - if you keep moving and keep hacking, and actually try and don't screw around - you'll be as fast everyone else.

I've tried to keep an honest score and I like how quickly you can improve from utter crap. I think I got a 190 or something my first time out there (including penalty strokes and whiffs), and this time I shaved more than 30 strokes off that, and had a handful of shots where I actually looked like a golfer.


Much prefer to play behind a hacker who plays fast than a good player that thinks he's on the tour and takes forever...
