The confrontation allegedly had to do with slow play and it resulted in a physical altercation. Thanks to recent technology, we were able to watch it go down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has everything you could anticipate in a fight. Punches were thrown and some fell \u2014 all while sporting polos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was even a kick attempt at one point and someone said they could go viral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ladder was very true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it doesn\u2019t appear anyone was hurt \u2014 at least physically, it goes to show how impatient people are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn\u2019t a set time for how long it&nbsp;should&nbsp;take you to play a round, or how long you should spend at each hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/news\/how-long-should-take-you-play-round-golf\/\">to a USGA study conducted&nbsp;<\/a>in 2017, an average player (who also likes to exaggerate how good they are) we\u2019re looking at around three hours and 47 minutes to play all 18 holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That of course is if you simply play golf. Those numbers don\u2019t take into account being distracted, getting drinks, telling jokes (longer if you get a laugh response), and of course, bathroom breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, you should know no matter what pace you\u2019re playing at, it\u2019ll still be too slow for some people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to dealing with a group of golfers ahead of you who are playing slow, there aren\u2019t necessarily rules.
