Staff has our thanks

The course is typical for resorts - excellent conditions coupled with unmemorable holes. Pace of play was fine, and the cost on golf pass acceptable. The staff we interacted with were more than accommodating. I was playing terribly and decided to quit after 9 holes. I spoke with the starter about scheduling a last minute lesson. The teaching pro was on the putting green and had to go home , but after asking me a few questions made a suggestion that proved worthwhile. The starter gave me a very large bucket of balls, and I returned to the driving range. The starter even came over and watched me hit some right before going home. Afterwards, I had to kill 1.5 hrs since my wife was on a conference call at the club restaurant. The new starter suggested I play the 9, which I did. When I joined my wife, the bartender apparently helped with finding a quiet place for my wife's call. All this at no extra cost. Staff has and deserves our thanks for being so accommodating.

Slow play

Played the front 9 in 1 hour 45 minutes. Back nine with 5 2 somes in front of us, it took 1 hour and 25 minutes to play 4 holes. I quit and drove in as I saw in front of me Tharp. 4 some was holding everything up as there were 3 holes open in front of them. We literally had 5 2 somes on a hole and one on the next tee box. I play at a club in Wisconsin and if you don’t finish in 4 hours with 4 golfers you are considered very slow and might get a warning.
