Oh dear.

We had a 4-ball of distinctly average players on Friday and we went round in easily under 4 hours.

That said though, at that rate, your old fellows would be round in 4 1/2 hours which these days is apparently acceptable - even if not to me or thee.

At the risk of being controversial, I think that the USA is generally an influence for good - think color (sic) TV, dishwashers, electric toothbrushes, and the euphemistically named "feminine hygiene products", however the concept that you need to set aside 5 hours of your life to play a round of golf is one that could easily have stayed on the other side of the Atlantic.

However it is here now and I guess we need to acquire a 4th skill to deal with it
