i, like many others here, prefer to play fast to keep the pace of the game moving. it's just basic golf etiquette. granted, i have a high speed cable connection, which makes is easier to play fast. i'm usually the first player in my group to load the hole. for what it's worth, here is my routine designed to speed my game up. some of it is obvious stuff.
when my turn to tee off, click on zoom, a quick direction adjustment based on wind speed and direction, and let 'er rip. this really shouldn't take more than 10 seconds, allowing for time for zoom to load based on connection speed. while the others in my group are teeing off or hitting their approach, i click on my ball in the mini-map in the lower right. knowing the yardage and wind direction, when it's my turn i already know which club i'll use and about how hard to hit it. a quick zoom and direction adjustment, and hit. 15 or 20 seconds. when putting, i always use the reverse view. i think it makes it easier to adjust direction cuz the aimers relationship to the hole is easier to see. a tip i read to add or subtract one yard for every inch of elevation gain or loss seems to work most of the time. adjust your power for green speed and the putts heading to the hole. i never chat when it's my turn to hit. i should be swinging, not talking.
anyone out there with a high speed connection who likes to play fast can invite me anytime. hit em straight
