I started using it, so when I start setting up my shot I start counting and hit on seven.
I also have a GPS that accounts for wind (arccos), lets me map out holes and keeps stats on my club distances, so club selection is pretty easy.

At Canyon Meadows, years ago, there was a seniors foursome that tried to be the first ones out every morning. They typically finished 18 in under two hours, albeit with powercarts.
Went off in front of them one morning walking as a twosome. Approaching the first green on number one, a five par, we watched them tee off. When we putted out, they were by the green, waiting for us. I simply stopped and waited for them to play through. It was amazing to watch. No waiting on their approaches; all hit as soon as they got to their balls. On the green, no marking and no waiting they all putted together until they were in the hole. On the second tee, three guys pegged at once. Whap-whap-whap. Fourth walked up, pegged, whap, and they were gone. By the time we walked up and teed up, they were out of range.
Not necessarily recommended; but educational. We spend way too much time imitating the pros.
