It depends. If I've noticed they've been up behind us for a few holes in a row, waiting for our shots, and after saying what I do they are still on us, I'd let them play through. I'd prefer that no matter the speed of the round.If you’re a group of 4 and you’re heading for a four hour round or less, do you change from your approach above? I’ve said this assuming that group in front is clearing out from your group.
I was playing one day and we were finished teeing off on 10 and it was right on 2 hours. One of the blokes behind us gave us a lecture about being slow. I told him to **** off and that we were two hours to here. We were also held up the last four holes due to a ripple effect from group/s further in front of the group in front of us.
Can depend on the comp. If it's par, poor players can end up.playing really fast because they pick up a lot.
Last round I played we let the group of 3 behind us play through.
I'm a bit of a pacifist, I try and find a result without arguing.
That said, if we're up behind the group in front and the group behind has a crack at our speed turn I'll chirp something back.
I'm probably more concerned with position in the field rather than overall time.
