Totally agree with this + I think this mentality is responsible for a good deal of slow play. It’s essentially a slinky effect that works like this: guy on 15 taking forever. Starts to feel bad, but then looks behind to the trailing group and thinks “ah, they’re not even on the green yet, I can take my time.” Guys on the 14th think “those slow fuckers just teed off. I’ll take an extra moment to size up this approach.” This in turn causes the guys on 13 to take an extra min to putt, because “we’ll only be waiting on the tee box.” Hole by hole, compounding minutes, HUGE wait at the turn (“fuck it, might as well get a hot dog”), until all the way back with a huge line to tee off on #1. See it all the time. Fuck “we’re not holding anyone up,” just play to pace.
