WHAT PLAYERS WANT
1. FASTER ROUND TIMES
“If you’re waiting for someone else to play, then don’t just stand there willing them to hit their ball into the junk; be ready to play as soon as it’s your turn.”
2. ENJOYABLE ON-COURSE EXPERIENCE
“The pace of play was excellent, the staff friendly and professional.”
3. TIME FOR MEAL, BEERS AND BANTER
“It’s the place where you settle up the nassau. Order the 25-year-old Speyside whiskey because that lucky so-and-so aced the fifth hole, and he’s buying.”
WHAT PLAYERS DON’T WANT
1. LOSS OF RHYTHM WHICH MEANS LOST MOMENTUM AND BAD SCORES
“Non-golf distractions like music and social media, all suck up valuable moments during a round and disrupts momentum.”
2. OVER ANALYSING YOUR SWING AS A RESULT OF TOO MUCH TIME BETWEEN SHOTS
“If you take more than 20 seconds, you are not only wasting time but also leaving too much of an opening for doubt and confusion to seep into your chamber.”
3. NO TIME FOR BEERS OR BANTER AFTER
“Try and save the storytelling for the 19th hole or when you have a wait yourself. Just be ready to hit when the group ahead clears.”
