May 30, 1913 Starter McGinnis at the Jackson

For those that have trouble with "only 7 minutes" between tee
times consider this, based on 14 hours of available tee time (which leaves
about 55 minutes to play 9 holes) and the assumption he sent groups
off the 1st& 10th tees on the 18 hole course and only the 1st tee on
the 9 hole course, that is a foursome teeing off every 5.6 minutes.
(Wonder how most of the players felt about slow play?) |
