And the recent pace of play campaign called “While We’re Young” with its tongue in cheek approach to the problem, hasn’t seemed to have made any inroads. Patrick Mateer published a book a few years ago called “ The Return of the 4 Hour Round.” According to his research, seventy-two percent say more golfers would consider taking up the game, and fewer golfers would abandon the game if we could return to the ideal of the four hour round.įortunately for us members of Sierra View Country Club, which prides itself as “The Fast Play Club,” pace of play complaints are few and far between. Among those of us who are active amateur golfers, it’s something we want to find remedies for, to ensure the future of the sport which we love so much and which adds immensely to our lives.
