Shit. I've seen a few 3+ hour 9 holes at my little course. That's absolute bullshit. 1560 yards in 3 hours is insane, I can see an hour and a half max... the rough is kept fairly short, the greens roll true, and the fairways are not that narrow or long...
We have had a group that shows up every week, there's 6 of them. They used to play as a group of 6, that got stopped by one of the older staff who had enough of that. They now split into proper groups of 3. Problem is, they are all slow, and we think they're playing money games. Maybe a dollar a hole, turns out doctors are cheap bastards...they also don't want to lose the hole....
They always slow the entire place down too much. Maybe an hour to play 5 holes, with nobody in front of them. It's bad.....
