IS SLOW PLAY DRIVING YOU AWAY FROM THE GOLF COURSE?

Returning to playing the game in under four hours will cost American golfers exactly – nothing.  It is a matter of changing the mindset. Self-discipline,  course discipline and adherence to the rulebook. Nothing more. There is no money involved, no payments required or fines to pay or additional equipment to hire or rent. It is simply a matter of good behaviour and the enforcement of same by the course managers.

The writer of this book, who calls himself “a grumpy old Scotsman”,  lived in America for three years during the 1990’s and at the end of it, wrote his plea to American amateurs out of sheer frustration at the time it took to play an amateur round of golf anywhere in America.  In these pages he dissects all of the facets of  Golf, the business, and lays them before us to examine with a view to arriving at the same truth.  His credentials are authentic as the reader will soon discover and his reasoning, totally logical.  Golf, the game, is being killed in America by Golf, the business which is being used to make up the revenue lost by slow-playing amateurs and this compounds the problem.

If you are sick of the delays whilst playing golf or at the time it takes to get round eighteen holes, visit the author’s website and let him hear your thoughts.  W. Eric Laing is on a one-man mission to bring about the return of  ‘a quick eighteen’ and the more support there is – in writing (emails) - the more ammunition he will have to confront those who can best alleviate the problem.  Anything  at all that you think might add to the cause will be useful – and used - in the achievement of the objective.   The point is, this can be cured;  we can cure it and without it costing any of us a penny.  As has been said, “There is nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come.”  “Well”, says W.Eric Laing, “it’s time to put an end to slow play!”  He hopes you’ll join him and begin by reading this book.   It was written for you.
