Summary

For Members Only #403 The recent USGA "While We're Young" ad campaign is based on a snarky line from the classic golf film “Caddyshack” delivered by comedian Rodney Dangerfield. The irony of the USGA's focus is that Dangerfield's character is everything they seem to be against to protect the "integrity of the game". Our guest is Kiel Christianson of TravelGolf.com who's recent article "While We're Young -- The Curse of Slow Play" and subsequent online feedback brings the USGA to the mat. In the article and on this episode we focus on his 13 points on how to pick up the pace of play. http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/kiel.christianson/2013/06/19/while-we-re-young-the Please provide your suggestions to pick up the pace of play on our GolfSmarter Facebook page!https://www.facebook.com/pages/GOLF-SMARTER/213028982094Our newly redesigned website features our latest video that we invite you to share with all your golf friends.
