You are waiting to play 5 minutes total.
Hell no.
It's gonna take you at least 6 or 7 minutes just to make it to the next tee box and tee off from the time you hit your approach on the previous hole. Then I will have to wait again sitting in the fairway while you hit your approach and drive up and chip/putt? Hell no.
You are basically saying you and your group can play an entire hole in 5 minutes or less.

You aren’t the arbiter of pace of play
The golf course is. Any decent course has an expectation for pace of play. Most are around 4 hours. I'd be shocked if any are below 3.5 hours.
Seminole considers itself a "fast" club and they expect 3 hours and 40 minutes. If you're at 3 hours and 40 minutes, you're in position.
Carter Plantation lists 4 hours and 11 minutes on their website.
Unless you're playing a goat ranch muni (kinda seems like y'all are) with kids in the pro shop that have no idea what is going on, the course has a pace of play. A lot of them put them on the scorecard now or they're shown on the gps.
Letting multiple groups play through can absolutely slow a course down.

It doesn’t take that long. It takes 3-5 minutes
This is a 54 minute to 90 minute pace of play over 18 holes. It’s always at minimum 10 minutes of interruption to let someone through.

If you’re 2 holes behind the group in front of you and the group behind you is pushing you, you let them through. Your pace can be 2 hours. It doesn’t matter.
So I should allow this group to interrupt my round for 10+ minutes to let them through so they can get between the group two holes ahead and my group and go nowhere? What is the point of this?

you’ve outed yourself as a slow arse player.
And where have I done this exactly? Read better.
I am always aware of what’s going on with my groups pace of play. I’ve played through groups and let groups play through. I know when it needs to happen and when it doesn’t.
I can tell you this if I show up to play golf on the weekend as a single, I expect to be there 4 hours. I don’t expect to be waved through by anyone no matter how much I am waiting.

If you do it right on a par 3, it really shouldn’t take all that long. You hit your tee shot and even potentially a chip if you miss the green by the time the people behind you are up at the green on their end.

You guys suck as humans and I hope the next time you play you are stuck behind a group that won’t let you through. It’s just being an a-hole. At least you own it.

You're the a-hole who slows down the whole course by making a group wait on you for the 10-15 minutes it takes to let you by. shite by the time you clear the green and let the group you past hit their approach shots, the group originally behind you is probably now waiting on the tee box.

If they’re in that big a hurry they should play something else.

This.
At some point, where is the fire?
I see the groups at our club that never putt out, they tee off while others in their foursome are finishing on the prior green.
I’m all for ready golf and playing at a decent pace, but raking 4 footers is not going to make anyone a better player.

It is basic math. I’m waiting 3 minutes every tee box and approach for 15 holes. You have to wait 5 minutes once. But you guys are too big of arse holes and have zero common decency to wait 5 minutes and let someone through. So they have to wait 5 minutes a hole every hole. You justification is, “I’m playing a 4 HoUr RoUnD!!!!”. It’s selfish entitled and shitty. Your 10 minutes is worth more than the 45 minutes of the group you are holding up all day. It makes no logical sense. The only explanation is that you are an a-hole.

And you back up the whole course even worse by making the "slow" group wait for you to pass.
If the slow group is so slow, then go around them. You're round continues on and you don't frick up the people behind you.
But you're an a-hole so this never crosses your mind. You only really care about yourself and frick it if the people behind you get screwed when you and your group essentially combine with another group for a hole, making said hole play unbelievably slow.
You can say it only takes five minutes 1000 times, but that doesn't change the fact that it takes at least double, if not triple that to do what you (an a-hole) thinks is the correct way to handle things.

The mental gymnastics here to not be a decent human is ridiculous. Keep being an a-hole. One day it will come around and you will get what’s coming to you. Entitled spoiled brat.

As maker said, where’s the fire? And I say that as a guy who plays single frequently and is a faster player than you. I get stuck behind 4 Korean ladies frequently, which is the definition of slow. I let the Marshall handle it, till they do I work on my chipping, putting, play 2 balls, whatever.
Your goal is obviously to play as fast as you can to go do something else. Bypass golf and go straight to the something else.
Posted on 7/11/24 at 7:52 am to llfshoals
No it to play 36 or just have a better round not having to sit in my cart and wait every shot and lose rhythm.
I have no problem waiting, but if the group ahead of me isn’t waiting, and I can be out of their hair and past them in 5 minutes (I never play as a single. Almost always as a 2-3 or 4) and the only reason they won’t let me through is because it adds 8 minutes to their round? That’s bull shite and they are shite humans.

Or you just skip a hole and go around them so you're not wasting someone else's time to get your way. It's selfish, entitled and shitty.

Because it’s how golf has been played since golf carts are invented. No one wants to skip a hole. You shouldn’t have too. People just need to not be assholes. I know that is hard in 2024. Golf used to be a gentlemen’s game. Too many new players that don’t understand that.

Yep. Because if you are an a-hole on the golf course you deserve to be called out.
What better way to get the point across than shock value on tigerdroppings. Because the plant baws on here are the ones ruining it for everyone else out there.
Go run this situation by your pro, see what they say. They are going to say, let them play through.

Allow faster players to go through is probably on every scorecard in the country. Hell, it might be on some putt putt courses too.
