But then again, slow play is usually (although not always) the responsibility of players.
While that may be true, certain kinds of layouts, combined with wrongheaded course managers can make it impossible to avoid long waits at some tees.
IMHO, having to wait to hit a tee shot is even more aggravating than slow play without the long waits.
There's a nice public course in Sioux Falls, SD on which both 2 and 11 are par threes. On #2, especially, it's almost inevitable that you'll sit and wait to hit.
The last time I played it, when we arrived at the tee, a group was just teeing off on #3, and the group ahead of us had just arrived on the tee. So we thought we were good to go, it turned out that there was third group wandering around below the tee looking for their tee shots We were the third group on that 160-yard hole!
About 20 minutes later we finally teed off.
Aaack!
