More often than not the expression is vented by the avid player who has just en- dured an eight hour round, that could have and should have, lasted half the time. Slow play is the bane of modern golf. In the March 1962 issue of Golf Magazine, an article on slow play requested a cure for the creepingparalysis infecting golf. Author of the article expressed that, "Dawdling play is causing traffic jams at the tee and could threaten the popularity and future of golf." At that time, nearly 30 years ago, the complaints were directed at the 4-5 hour, 18 -hole round! Now a 41/2 hour round is con- sidered speedy and today's golfers are moaning about the 6-7 hour round. At this rate by the year 2010 it will take us 12 hours to play golf...if we don't speed it up! Fortunately for golf, many people enjoy the game and continue to play in spite of the time it takes. in fact, instead of losing popularity, it did in the 70s golf is gaining in popularity by leaps and bounds. However, the problem of slow play continues to under- mine the enjoyment by players and the economic success of course operators. Every golfer complains about slow play and every golfer can do something about it. Those extra hours on the golf course are caused by an accumulation of time wasting habits that when multiplied by four players in a group and again by 18 holes in a round, equals wasted time and frustrated players. Course operators lose revenue because fewer players can get a round in on any given day. The loss is increased as potential players shy away from golf because they just don't have time to spend 6-7 hours on the golf course. Tournament players lose out because the.iield.must..be cut down to ac- commodate a six hour round instead of a four hour round. The tournament com- petitors and many players lose the oppor- tunity to enter the event. There are a couple of remedies for these two problems although the ultimate cure lies" with individual players. First, in com- petitive golf the enforcing of the 2 -stroke penalty for unnecessary slow play will cer- tainly give dawdling competitors some in- centive to speed it up. Even the big guns. get penalized. A few years ago Nancy Lopez suf- fered the slow play penalty. Rules personnel with stop watches and "pace of play guidelines" try to keep the players mov- ing. Forecaddies on hidden and difficult holes assist in locating errant shots to save time lost searching for balls. Assessing penalties, timing players, and assigning forecaddies, are all methods that assist in speeding up play in competition, but assessing slow play penalties in a friendly weekend game is impossible. make a great deal of difference. Keeping rough cut at a reasonable length can reduce time spent searching for balls. indeed some courses cut everything to fairway height, especially if there are numerous other hazards such as bunkers, ponds, rivers, or a multitude of trees.

A starter at the first tee who keeps the groups moving, doesn't allow mulligans, and joins up players into 4s can be a busy course's best public relations man. A ranger on a power cart who drives around occasionally to check on the pace and keep slow groups moving, is well worth his pay if it allows more players on the course. Rules officials and course operators can only do so much to combat slow play. Ultimately the final cure rests with the golfer. Every little bit helps. Here's how vou can. Individually 1.Walk briskly 2.Take no mulligans or practise putts, 3. Watch all balls hit and line them up with a tree or mark so ,they can be quickly found, 4. Be ready to play when it's your turn. Be near your ball (keeping safety first ) and have an idea which club you'll use, 5. Put your clubs and cart between the green and next tee so you can leave the hole quickly and ,those behind won't. have to wait while you retrieve your equipment, 6. Carry a spare ball, 7. Be realistic when waiting to hit. Safety is a priority but you don't have to wait until those ahead are 300 yards out, if you've never bit it more than 180 on your best day and 8. Mark scores as you walk to the next tee. Groups: 1. Hit when ready and don't worry about the honour. Shorter hitters hit. first off the tee as soon as the group ahead is out of range, 2. Putt when ready and putt out when possible instead of marking all the time, 3. Wave the group behind through as soon as possible if you lose pace with the group ahead, 4. Only one man look for a lost ball and limit it to two minutes in a' friendly game, 5. Arrange your match and bets ahead of time, and 6. Report to the starter at the first tee 15 minutes before your tee time. Golf Cart Riders: 1. Player first to hit should choose his club and then take two more clubs, one longer, one shorter. While he gets ready to hit the other rides to his ball. Don't wait for each other, 2. Park cart in direct line from green to next tee, and 3. At green. driver should bring other player's putter. Many clubs place pace of play signs about the course. Slow Play posters are in every • locker room. Courses all over develop -in- novative ideas to speed up play. One course has a "Go -Golf" program which times players and gives a free round of golf to four hours. Slow players lose prime -thine tee privileges at some courses. In Taiwan players punch a clock when they tee off and must pay extra cash if they take longer than a specified time. • Turn, to page 15 = A DUBLIN BATTER gives the ball a whack in the final game against Henson The Dublin senior boys won the match and will now be gang on to a two -pitch tournament in Stratford on May 29.
