PB's procedure on double bagging? How many loops have you done? How much harder is it?
The average pace of play is 5 hours for PB, 4:45 for Spyglass, and 4-5 at Spanish Bay depending on the tee sheet. It takes longer more because of the course being backed up. First off the tee can get done in 3:30. The perfection aspect does come into play a little bit, but it is not the major factor in the slow pace of play.
Pebble Beach does double bagging. Most of the senior guys do doubles only, but a lot of times they say to hell with procedure and throw them on a cart. If the guests say no, they just head back to the barn and wait til the next tee time. Double bagging is at least twice as hard as single bagging, but still worth it because you get a double bag fee. The funny thing is that I average a lot better tips on a single( per bag). It is not too hard to double bag, most caddies have Pebble Beach change out bags(super light), so that helps a lot. That being said, doing it 7 days in a row is a grind. I would say I have done in between 500-600 loops at the three courses with 300 at PB
