Total bullshit. Really really huge bullshit. At my favorite course,
you can't get on on the weekends unless you have reserved a tee time a
week in advance. I can't even get on on Fridays, and even Thursdays

I enjoy golf, but when my real life gets more active, it's hard to
find the time for golf when you *HAVE* to play 6 hour rounds...and
that's not even counting driving to the course!
Golf is becoming more and more of a scam these days as well; golf
equipment scams, golf instruction scams...and it's like all golf
equipment is a scam, as is all golf instruction. How many times can
you get a person to pay $50 minimum for a 30 minute lesson and have it
do you no good? How many times are you willing to fork out hundreds of
dollars for equipment that does nothing to improve your game? Of
course you have to be dumb to believe the hype in the first place, but
even suckers get it eventually? How about paying $200++ for a round of
golf? Doesn't it feel, at some point, silly to be standing there on a
golf course realizing you are wasting hundreds of dollars for a round
of golf? You can get breathtaking ocean views and beautiful rolling
hills, dunes, whatever...for free...I suppose it's worth the hundreds
of dollars to eat an overpriced sandwich in a multi million dollar
clubhouse...of course you can eat sandwiches in much finer buildings
for free too, and the sandwich won't be overpriced!
Of course, all sports are going this way. A billion dollar stadium for
the Dallas Cowboys? And people are supposed to fork over tens of
thousands of dollars for the privilege of being able to buy a ticket?
I'm amazed that anyone, no matter how rich, would even consider such a
thing? Of course I'm from the generation that thinks the best football
is played in a basic outdoor kinda stadium with a grass field and what
you see in the NFL is more of a live action video game than anything
else.
Nonetheless, the spirit that drives football also drives golf, and I
suspect most traditional golfers, that have mostly given up the game,
have a hard time with that ethic. The ball doesn't care about the
view, nor do the clubs. An ordinary, reasonably maintained course is
good enough for me, and no view, or landscaping masterpiece is
anywhere near as rewarding as making an eagle, or making a really
tough par save in a legitimate match...and you can't buy that!

6 hour rounds? Are you that slow, or that bad? You must spend three
hours looking for your ball in the out of bounds area.
I just did nine holes this morning and it took me just over an hour.

Check what I said. I said that my favorite course is always packed,
dumbass. I played on a course that was closed. I played nine holes
in just over an hour, and I walked it.
You said you played a round in six hours, and now you say you can do

Both. I play in some tournament or with the mens clubs and it's 6
hours. I play by myself, walking, on an empty course, and it's 45

He doesn't have to wait behind slow golfers. If you (or I) don't
have a 2-3 hours every 10 days, it's because there are other things
we'd rather do. I for one think all presidents should take the

Let's do the math, Jack. An average course is about 3000 yards,
that's 1.7 miles. An average walker does 5 mph, which means he can
walk it in 34 minutes. I said that I did it, "in over an hour." In
which it was 75 minutes. Seeing that I parred half of the holes, and
birdied number eight, (leadership, Jack, leadership,) my time is well
within human parameters, even while taking time to de-beer.

I did an internet search, but my cut-and-paste was bad. The average
female walks at 3mph, an average male at 4mph. That's average,
someone in good shape, like me, is a fair bit faster. In the military
we regularly did 5mph with full packs. That's leadership.

Not really correct. Guys walk ( stroll) at about 3.5 mph. 4 is quite
brisk. 4.5 is very brisk.
After 4.5 MPH you reach a crossover where walking is not very efficient.
It is quite uncomfortable and it is much more efficient to run. Notice how
those racewalkers look so silly. The body has a more efficient way, which
is to run. So, 5mph walking gait is actually a bit uncomfortable and you
certainly would not be doing it with clubs in tow.

Sorry, but you're full of it.
Forced march speeds with full back are done at about 4mph.
In regular marches in the Canadian Forces, we were expect to cover 10
miles in 3 hours. Allowing for short rests that works out to about
3.5mph.
Hell, the median *running* speed expected in the US Marines is only
6.8mph.

Running 6.8mph is the USMC is considered failure for those up to about
35 years old.

I thought you Canucks did it in kilometers. Besides, that's all you
can get when marching with ice skates on.

That seems reasonable. Back in the days when I was a professional
fashion model, as part of my daily fitness regime, I would run on a
jogging course in the park that was three miles long. I usually
finished around 20 minutes. that comes out to about nine mph, (do the
math.)

If you don't make 1st class in the PFT your cutting score will suck and
you won't get promoted.

Wuss.
When I was a fashion model, my daily workout was to ride my bike five
miles to the park, do 100 pushups and 100 sit ups then run three miles
then ride my bike home, and I did that in under an hour.

My fastest PFT time was 19:50. I received meritorious promotions to
Corporal and Sergeant.
That's leadership.

Which has nothing to do with anything, of course.

You brought up the subject. I just told you that 6.8 MPH was marginal as
far as physical fitness standards in the USMC. Physical fitness is
extremely important in the USMC.
Every Marine is a basic riflemen.
Every Marine officer is a platoon commander. If you fly an F/A-18 and
you get shot down you become an infantry officer.
Everything is done in support of the grunt on the ground.
