I usually see significant delays if the course is more busy, especially during weekends. Too many players make the pace sluggish!
Exactly! I’ve fought the slow play battles more than once. Sometimes it feels like an eternity just waiting to hit.
It’s crazy how the time can slip by! Playing a solo round typically feels faster, but I enjoy the social aspect of playing with friends.

It generally takes around 4 to 5 hours to play 18 holes of golf, depending on the course and your pace. This is definitely longer than most tennis matches or basketball games, which usually last about 1.5 to 3 hours.
That’s true! Golf is more of a leisurely sport, while basketball typically has more continual action and shorter breaks. Interesting to compare the pacing.
I think 4 to 5 hours for golf is manageable, especially compared to how much time a day can be spent on other hobbies. Plus, it’s a good way to unwind!
Golf outings have a unique social aspect too, right? The time spent is often more about the company than just the game, unlike in faster-paced sports.
Exactly! That camaraderie is key. Plus, after a long basketball game, you might not sit around and chat quite as much!

It’s interesting to think about how we allocate time to sports. Sometimes a longer outing, like golf, can feel more rewarding despite requiring more hours.
Great point! Every sport has its own rhythm. I often wonder if people feel pressured to fit golf into a busy schedule.
I’d say golf is better suited for a weekend, while something like basketball can usually fit into a weekday evening. Just comes down to planning!
It’s so true! When making plans, consider how much time you want to dedicate. Sometimes a fast-paced game can be more satisfying if you’re short on time.
True! If you’re looking for instant gratification, golf might not be the best choice.

Golf is pretty much the only sport where a bad round can still feel relaxing. I guess I appreciate that it’s not always about speed!
