Hi Slater,

I have to disagree with Gary, not about the courses in the US but making you slow down, only my opinion.

Ben crane plays slow and does everything slow, Nick price no doubt is the same as you, do everything at your normal pace. If you walk, talk and do most things fast then you golf will be fast, it your natural rhythm don't change that.

What you will have to do is learn a pre shot routine that suit you, take time to check wind, yardage club selection, do all these things while you wait for others to catch up, then when it your go................go do it at your pace.

My advise would be to pretend there is a line behind your ball about 10 feet behind, stay here do all your checks, totally relaxed, you cannot concentrate for four hours, chat do what you like behind the line. once you cross that line, your pre-shot and swing should be as fast as you like.

Your concentration is like a small bottle of water taken with you on your round, drink it on the first you have none left, take a sip on every hole it will last the round, your concentration is the same.


Hope this helps


Ian.
