I was playing by myself today, following a couple of golfers who had a decent pace of play. I had no one behind me, and at no time was I even remotely crowding the twosome in font of me. (so I thought) I had a nice pace of play going for myself. At one point they stopped playing to allow me to play through on a par three. Now I don't know about others, but when I am asked to play through for no apparent, positive reason to my own game, I tend to "rush" my play to get out of the way of the other golfers. Of course, getting in a hurry while playing golf is not a good thing. Anyway I politely declined their offer and explained to them I was in no hurry, no one was behind me, and that if I was crowding them, I would be more than happy to give them plenty of time to get further a head of me. That, and that they were playing fast enough for me. They became most insistent, almost argumentative that I play through. I did and proceeded to double bogie the hole with a topped tee shot, and a fat approach shot that never made it to the green. Obviously this was one of the few times I let someone ruin my mental focus while playing. It's something I need to work on. In this case, I probably should have just returned to the previous green and practice some chips, and putts and made them play on a head of me. Once off that green, and out of their way, I played the next two holes in text book fashion for pars. :cool:
