    So around the 4:10 mark you described the problem with golf in the US. Public and semi-public courses put tee times 8:00 minutes apart to get an extra 4-some booked every hour. Then people are expected to "speed play" while often times still having to wait to hit shots. It is at most places strictly a revenue game and not about the game.

    Not a scratch golfer is one of very few RUclipsrs with average distance - great to see it!
    I’ve enjoyed playing forward tees and tips on my same course - the beauty of the handicap system is that I actually struggle with my net score from the forward tees.

    "No-Double Adam" is a great way to describe Adam and his game. After playing with him I saw how he limits the blowups and doesn't let a bad situation get to him mentally. As you pointed out his putting is SUPER good even with the strategy of trying to roll the first putt in from any distance he has the confidence that the returner is going in. Fun to see you two play!

    We have this debate in my playing group all the time. We're all older golfers with mid-teen or higher handicaps. One guy in the group always wants to play from the tips, we always outvote him and move up a couple tees. I tell you what, I'm lucky to get one or two birdies per round, and I've yet to tire of them. Until I can crush my driver long and straight consistently, I see no need to make the game any more difficult for myself. As it is, I can't hit the driver straight at all!
    BTW, that was one beautiful coyote. They roam the courses here in Nevada, too.

    Pace of play. Yeah, in America at least, it's easy to get the impression many just want to get the round over with. Why? No idea.
    Then there's those that don't understand, or care, that there are people behind them, waiting (impatiently usually). Tempting to say it's getting worse, but it's not. Same thing 40+ years ago on most muni's.
    And Bad Golf Takes Longer.
    As for tees to use. Agree that the tees you play should be based on your ability NOT your age!
    Most people I see care more about whether or not their score starts with a "7", so they move up - make it easier - to increase that chance. Does make the round go faster I suppose.

    You may consider what I'm considering as a higher ball speed player. Put in a 5th wedge to handle the 125-135 gapping issue.
    I can take out my 4iron for example, decrease the loft of my 3 hybrid. You may have a gapping issue at the top of the bag, but it will be an issue FAR less often than your current 125-135 issue.

      Fourball usually 4 to 4:25 but without people shooting up your backside. There’s always an understanding that you just leave one shot gap between you and the group in front.
