If you refuse to play with a 30 second time limit, you are a coward or a special education graduate. how much time do you need? seriously? Laugh at all the LEGENDS who need 90 seconds to line up a tee shot! got a problem with it, challenge me! No challenge, shut your pie hole.
I m not a legend. only have 70 odd stroke game played and i can see why very few players care to go the 30 second clock route. I may or may not be competative on the 30 second clock, but i do know that i am much more competative on the 60 and 90 second clock. It gives me the time i need to research where i want the ball to land, whats ahead, determine the possiable affects of top or bottem spin, there are so many variables to be considered for each and every shot, (excepting a tip in pitt) that i will reuse to play a 30 second clock under any circumstance.
Besides the obvious detramental effects of a 30 second clock, there is the fun factor, the chat factor, and most of all the satisfaction that any good performance in an athletic event can have when you can share it with others. thestrut said that.
