Had a great experience with slow play this last week and thought I'd share the brighter side of slow play. No Dark Side hitting into here!!!

Called into my course last week and asked if they could fit me in, they said sure and gave me a time. I showed up a bit early to see how things were and where I could sneak in, un-announced to me there were three foursomes ahead of me, I could barely see a group on the 1st green and a four some was about to go off on 1 ahead of me. I putted for a while thinking someone might be along to join up with. No luck. Here's where it goes down the typical slow play road, the guys on the tee wait as if they're going to hit the green, of a par 5, in 1! Then they all proceed to hit two tee shots a piece.

Hole 1 was horribly slow, and hole two was almost as bad, but after I hit my tee shot on three this is where the story takes a turn for the better. They ask as I'm walking up to the green, after they all just hit their tee shots if I want to play through, I gratefully accept and head off on my way, when I get to the green on 4 the group ahead asks if I want to play through, I accept that as well and once I get to the tee on 6 the next group asks, after that is was smooth sailing all to myself. It was nice to run into 12 golfers that were more than happy to wait a bit for me to play through.

Nice GOLFERS are out there, it started out looking bad, but then there was a bright side!
