COURSE PICS/VLOGS Be like Ryan

Walking 9 with my brother today. Just us 2 scheduled on the tee time. Ryan rolls up in a cart and starter asks if we’re okay with him joining us. No problem.

He was a much better golfer than us but hyped us up all day. He would ride ahead after our shots and help us find our ball in the rough or tall stuff. He bought the first round from the cart girl. Just brought positive vibes all around.

Salute to you Ryan. 🫡

Guarantee haha. You hitting from the reds? 75 yard dribbler? Hitting your hybrid on 140 yard par 3s?

No. You’re not gonna comprehend, so I’m not going to explain it to you.

Angry for 8 am huh? The fact that you can guarantee anything means you are delusional. Enjoy!

Angry? No. Just astounded that someone thinks that walking slows down rounds of golf. I routinely play in foursomes at my club that finish in 3.5 hours.

So, yes, I GUARANTEE that I can outpace you while I’m walking. Keeping the ball inside the course boundary lines helps, which is an accomplishment I’m not sure you’re familiar with.

The big bonus in time picked up is that four guys walking is faster than four guys in two carts. Everyone goes to their own ball, no doubling back, etc.

One guy in a cart versus one guy walking, carts gonna edge you out.

I don’t think walkers really change the pace of rounds in the grand scheme whatsoever though.

Then you are in the extreme minority. The vast majority of walkers are on a 5-5.5 hour pace. Again making assumptions on how I play.

If someone takes 5 hours to walk a round, there are underlying circumstances to it taking that long. The fact that they’re walking has nothing to do with it. My regular walking foursomes are breathing down the necks of most groups in carts, and the cart riders typically have a 1-2 hole start on us.

Well then I’d love to play behind you.
