Something BigLefty said got me thinking about slow players. We all know that people of all levels can be slow - the newbies are just as bad as the guys who think they're putting for the green jacket on every hole. Knowing that though - I do think a higher handicapper (and I'm one of them) is slower than a low handicapper. We hit the ball more frequently so of course it takes us longer. I don't think it's an issue if you have a mix of golfers in a 4-some, but if you have 4 high handicappers - I don't care how fast they move - they're definitely slower.
