Speeds up the game and doesn't annoy your playing partners.
I recall having a single hook up with my regular four when one of the guys bailed late. We are rabbits and the course usually chases us. We were third out in the morning and played in 3:10, even with a new guy on a new course. As we were having a beer after the round he volunteered how much he enjoyed playing with us, especially how quickly we played. He made us laugh when he said that we play so fast that the we sometimes let the ball stop rolling in the fairways before we hit it again. He really appreciated that we played ready golf and worked together to make sure we got through the holes quickly and efficiently. Even with missed fairways and looking for a couple of lost balls, we still managed to never see anyone behind us and keep a quick yet enjoyable pace. The fact that we partook in a lot of birdie juice probably didn't hurt either.

Liking this timeline very much. Tee time 7-8am, in the clubhouse well before noon and post round beers. Nice!
