I’m afraid it’s probably always been slow on the golf course.
The great golf writer Bernard Darwin wrote an essay back in the 20’s/30’s about “The group in front”-where he bemoans in his humorous style the speed of play - what are they up to ,why are they taking so long?
On the subject of how little this marvellous game of ours actually changes he also wrote an essay on the long hitting Harold Hilton in the 1920’s- should we change the ball,’ lengthen the courses,more bunkers etc…
plus ca change!
