I did try playing a couple of 1-hole matches. I can see why there's a bit of a fuss over chatting with people.
At the end of one match, the other player sent me a nice note to congratulate me on the win. I had already birdied the hole, and he had a putt for par. So, he took the time allotted to him for putting and sent me a nice note. But I'm still not familiar enough with the layout of everything to reply right away. And then it seemed like I couldn't reply. I felt a bit bad about not replying.
The other issue is the green speeds. The couple of times I played, the greens were slow (I think they were 7.4). I've forgotten how to putt on those greens. But that's more of an issue for me. Even so, it does make me want to play less. That's also one of the reasons I stopped playing some of the tournaments in my CC. I don't like playing on different speed greens all the time.
But again, that's just my issue. It has nothing to do with game.
