Why people rush in golf?

I’m a beginner golfer who actually started playing at courses after going to driving range for a long time. I’ve always thought of golf as something you can enjoy during the weekend, where you can have some fun and talk to your friends while playing the game. As I have played through about 5 to 6 courses now, all I’m getting out of it is just hitting the ball, hurry to the next spot either in cart or running, then hurry to the next spot and sometimes not even finishing the putts. All that thanks to the friendly, patient, well mannered golfer groups behind us. I’ve played at course that cost from $20 to $150 and the same thing happens at all of them. Can someone tell me why people keeps rushing like that in golf? Are they just trying to show off cuz they think they’re all good? or are they really that busy and need to go somewhere? even the golf course owner did that to us and some "player assistent" dude keeps rushing us too. I just don’t get it……

First off I would like to say I work at a Golf Course and a very busy course at that, we do 300 round a day during are peek season…The man reason you feel like you are getting rushed is because you are, and that not right, however, the reason it is that way is because someone decided long before we were born that a round of golf should take 4 to 4 and a half hours to play…The advice I would give you would be this, as a beginner you should look to the play the course during down time which is afternoon (after 1pm on weekdays and 2pm on weekends). Look to find course that are beginner friendly, usually these course are not played by A-Holes that want to play in 4 hours, but by people that want to improve there game. Also look for a par 3 course, they are alot of fun to play, and will improve your game the fastest…Have faith in golf and don’t let the few bad apples make you quit golf, because golf is a fun, relaxing, and great to do with friends…

Hopefully this helped you…
