This is probably my biggest annoyance too.

Yesterday I was playing 18 holes with my cousin and this group of kid no older than 16 had decided it would be a good idea to start on hole number 10 instead of number one. Off the tee none of them hit the ball more than 100 yards down the fairway on this 340yrd par 4. Finally after about 30 minutes of goofing off in the fairway they go to the green so me and my cousin went ahead and teed off and I just crushed a nice one and ended up about 10-15 yards from the green. Sure enough one of those kids walked off the green and picked my ball up. Me being a nice guy I just laid another out and finished the hole before yelling at those kids for about 15 minutes. We finally skipped a hole and got in front of them.

It ticks me off when the practice facility is beautiful and the course is a dirt track. Also, how many times have you practiced in a sand filled bunker, only to find the bunkers on the course to be compacted with dirt 1/2" deep under a thin layer of sand?

or when the greens have such varying speeds from the practice putting green, so you get on the first green and 3 jack.
not fun

When the stater starts you one hole behind the group in front and you get chewed for slow play by the marshal, because you're one hole behind and it took you 1:45 min to play 8 holes. Happened to my group Sunday.

At least it sounds like your marshals are TRYING to pay attention. At two of the places I play, one doesn't even have marshals and the other place appears to have given the guy a job description that says, "drive around in the cart and say hi, make promises and then don't do a damned thing."

Dennis: I noticed you emphasized TRYING. We had a discussion on slow play and most participants agreed that 4.5 hrs. was a good time for 18 holes. We finished in 3hrs and 45 min. Now I'm not a native of Utah and these are trying people with the way they think. They have the ME syndrome or My Enjoyment. Utahans look at now and not the consequences of the future. Case in point; Eduction, we are one of the lowest paid teachers in the nation and the rightouslators haven't figure out why, because they are gloating on having money in the bank and fail to listen to the populous. its the same on the golf course. Damn! I feel much better now.
