The best way I have found is to join a cub if you have not done so yet. The more friends you have the more enjoyable it is. Alt play goes faster than stroke play. why some people get all up in anxiety, to play faster, beats me? We are given up to 90 secs to play, I myself do not like doing all 90, but in real golf, if you lose a ball, it takes up to 5 minutes in the rule book. I thought golf was suppoe te an enjoyabl sorto relax, no get all uptight...lol
