I played with a woman in her late 60s the other day. She didn't hit it far but was very straight, with a good short game from 40 yards in and a lovely touch on the greens. And she was a quick player -- always ready to hit and taking little time over the ball. We started talking about area courses she's played, and she said she'd never go back to Nicklaus North (in Whistler BC). She said the course was fine but she felt quite uncomfortable there, and unwanted: she and a friend were paired up with two men. They all were playing well and keeping up with the group in front. (Seeing her play I believed her.) But on the 8th hole a young marshal drove up and told her and her friend that they had to speed up. Then on the 14th hole he drove up again, and again told them they needed to speed up. (I couldn't imagine her holding anyone up.) When she told him that she thought they were playing quickly enough, he said 'Well we've gotten complaints -- members here pay a lot of money to have an enjoyable round and they expect a good pace of play". Then he drove off and stop to chat to the two men in the group. After the round she asked them what the marshal wanted, and they said he'd asked them if the women were slowing them down; they told him 'no'. When they finished their round the two women went straight to their cars and drove away, determined never to come back.
All of which is to say: I've complained about pace of play too (though not for several years now); but I wonder how much of that complaint is a function of a myopic and privileged (not to say spoiled) world view and set of expectations.
